I just want to say that this channel is extremely important to not only the sneaker community, but also the average consumer. With a lot of these shoes getting so popular nowadays, it’s really cool that you’re breaking them down from a perspective that a lot of people wouldn’t see. Your channel has been a lot of entertainment for me over the past year or so. Keep up the great work!

The carbon fibre in the 11’s (and so many other ball shoes) is to prevent the shoe twisting on a pivot, not for extra spring. You’re foot doesn’t flex at the arch, it’s for the structural integrity of the shoe under load

Glad to see more sneaker reviews, footwear in general, since sometimes you want something just easier to put on (or have different uses than boots like for sports). Also made me wish that they were manufactured slightly differently (resoleable, made to be better supporting and less fatiguing for wearing all day). It is a shame to throw footwear out just because the sole is worn through but it can't be replaced

I want to suggest a winter boot series of reviews. There is a Canadian brand in particular that I would like to see reviewed, and it is the Windriver ICEFX line of winter boots sold at Marks. These boots are supposed to offer superior traction on ice compared to leading brands. Keep up the great content, love this channel.

Great reminder to check out some of these shoes. The boost foam is meant for running in my mind and the squish for walking is not necessarily needed in this implementation.

Would love to see a series on athletic cleats (soccer, football, baseball etc) and the corresponding technologies involved.
Thanks Wes!!

It's always interesting to see these videos and get an opinion on the construction, materials, durability, and overall value of all the different shoes. I'd be interested in seeing you cut apart something by Altra, and maybe do a couple different models to compare them, such as the Lone Peaks, Olympus, Timps, etc.

The new superfoams are all remarkable: whilst boost was arguably the first, there are arguably softer, more bouncy foams available now, though they may not be for everyone. From Saucony, Pwrrun+ is actually a very similar technology (ETPU in bead form which is then steam formed), but is actually lighter, softer and bouncier. Saucony also has Pwrrun PB, which is also beads but PEBA foam, which is even lighter, softer and more responsive, but with a penalty in longevity. New Balance was their Fresh FoamX, which is soft but perhaps a little less responsive. But their Fuel Cell foams are ultra soft and responsive - possibly the most of all foams - again with a durability tradeoff. adidas also has Lightstrike Pro, which is a supercritical TPU (nitrogen infused). And off course, Zoom X from Nike, competing with Fuel Cell for softness and responsiveness, as well as React, which is fairly soft and bouncy, but has a reputation for exceptional longevity (but it is temperature sensitive, firming up a fair bit as temperatures drop).

Take your pick...

The thing I hate about the Clarks Wallabee is that the sole is thinner than the actual shoe... my foot falls over the sides

[PineyLGT]

Would love to see you cut a shoe with the Reebok DMX technology in it from the late 90's... maybe the Iversen 1's Reebok Answers and also the Questions ❤

havent even watched this yet but great video

edit: i have now watched this and can confirm

[connergordon]

Would love to see a breakdown/comparison of the various German Army Trainers (the originals, high-end copy like the Margielas, copies made by Adidas, Beckett Simonon, etc).

[half_numb]

More tactical boots, more collabs, more mid range loggers, more bare foot/ feet shaped shoes/boots and another change to buy muggs

[PanthORandPonAY]

I randomly came across your channel when I was curious as to why the sole of one of my Docs separated from the top. So pissed. Now I know why Docs suck now! I'm just binge watching your videos and getting all types of shoe quality info! Unrelated, you are so adorable, and I would be happy to cook non frozen premade food for you. Peace! ❤

[tblakemusic]

Another great year from one of my fav channels! Happy new year guys. Would love to see a mini-series on soccer cleats (football boots) sometime. Tons of cool heritage that has turned into a bunch of technical jargon, lol. Lots of neat technology that I think you could break down pretty well. Cheers!

I'd love to see you tear apart trail runners/hiking sneakers and then tough, resolesble hiking boots.

[abdelhamidbelodi]

I love the honest point of view you give that's really so hood

[lovoniaparks]

Hi there! Woman subscriber here lol. I love all your videos and I know this comment isn’t geared for this video but have you cut open a Moon Boot before? I would LOVE to see that. ❤

Please explore more the Zero heel drop. I remember in the 70's .." Earth shoes " they had wide toe box and heels lower than the ball of the foot. They were pretty comfortable but sole and insole Technology was primitive .

Loved new balances before moving onto ultra boosts and was really disappointed with the 550 this year after all the hype. Love the channel and keep it up! Hope you get back into handcrafted boots again, you’re the channel that made me interested in Chinese and Indonesian boot makers.
