The insoles don't affect my play so I feel no need to change them out.

Be very careful with these shoes when you first get them..... there could be a black person in them.

Those are where all the rips are happening on both of my shoes

This is how thick the insoles are

This is where my sole is cracking

Oh, I thought you were complaining that the insoles were too thick. Sorry. :)

Nah man don't worry about it. I just wanted to make sure I had a picture of them just in case someone wanted to see how thick they are.

If you have a laser cutter, I think you can trim the insoles to a much thinner depth than what they originally are. Just look for a science geek or an architect, and I'm sure you can ask them kindly about doing so.

I did the poor mistake of trying to trim them with a huge knife, and eventually slicing a huge gash on my left thumb just last week. Ouch.

I tried them on at Worlds and I think I might be the only one who thought the toe box was fine, but hated the inside.

Yeah the paint comes off. It is really slippery on mats or carpet so wear them around to get the paint off cause it is slippery stuff
Be careful what you wish for

I've been thinking about getting a pair but. I'm not sure if I'd like them very much. The General consensus is that the toe area is like an aircraft landers' deck...Which....Doesn't go well with me because I'm not the most precise when it comes to toe stalls.

I think that the toe area is larger than my lavers. I haven't been able to really shred in them because i bruised my knee, its feeling better now, hopefully i can get a good shred in today or tomorrow...i'll report back afterwards.
