    I bought new-without-box Nikes from ebay. The seller neglected to mention that the insides of the shoes have "PROPERTY OF NIKE. NOT FOR RESALE" printed on them. The hell kinda shady Nikes are these? The lettering is the same kind on shirts that will start to peel off after a while. x_x In fact, one of the E's has already started to crack.

    That said, they do look new, so there's that. Pristine, in fact. I doubt anyone's even tried them on.

      Editing … meh, I shouldn't blame the seller. I probably would've bought the shoes anyway. Letters that peel off are found all over clothing items, this is no different aside from the fact I wasn't expecting it. On that note, the Nike logo on the insoles always comes off after a while, and that's never bothered me. Hmm.. but then again, I've never actually seen the peels. Maybe it's ink of some sort.

      Editing … I choose to wear only particular models of Nike which happen to be out of print, so, at one point, I figured it would be a good idea to have a few spares ready for me in the future after my current pair wears out. I began combing ebay for them once or twice. Later I decided to start looking at preowned as well so I have some to use as work shoes, slippers, or whatever. It eventually blossomed into a hobby of sorts.

      Editing … You're weird. When a pair wear out just go to the nearest shop and pick the pair they have that you like best. I don't get why you'll only wear certain models? Nobody looking at your feet trust me.

      Editing … It's because I discovered they are slip ons and don't require laces. I assume this is unintentional. Though there are actually shoe companies that exclusively make slip ons. (Kizik and Zeba) I have yet to try them though. I was close to buying Kizik once, I created an account and added a pair to my cart (and the shoes were on sale) but I got no further than that. I just didn't imagine that I would like them as much as my Nikes. I could always end up buying a pair someday, I just wish they'd go on sale more often. (Damn, the holidays just ended and in that time I never once checked their website.)

    I bought a pair of Nikes from Australia a while back, like new condition. Buuut they had stickers on the insoles, didn't like that. It came off easily, but you could see exactly where the sticker was, like a friggin chalk outline of a dead body at a crime scene, and the entire area is sticky.

    So I took the soles out and put them in the wash, they came out still sticky. (dafuq?) I mean, I guess I shouldn't be surprised they'd still be sticky since it's not something that would disappear simply after being submerged in water? I dunno..

    I don't trust third party insoles. (e.g. Dr. Scholl's) So I did something wonderfully crazy and rukkshardesque. I bought a pair of a completely different Nike shoes and swapped the soles from that pair. However! Being that they are completely different shoes, the soles were also different. (Uh oh, did I fuck up?) The soles on the new shoe are seemingly higher quality and much thicker. Thankfully, they fit the old shoe perfectly but putting on the shoe becomes a very snug fit. They are so cushiony tho! It's like I'm walking on pillows. (I just hope my toes don't get crushed.)

    Now here's the weird part. I could technically do this for all my shoes! But probably not a good idea to do it on any shoe size that's smaller than this one. It barely fits me now and it's a size 10. Therefore I should only do it for sizes 10 and 10.5. Bonus points: I do it for size 11 as well? Normally 11 is too big for me, but the added cushioning *might* make 11 wearable for me. Would I risk it though? If I'm that bold I might as well risk trying size 9.5. At least I don't have much to lose there, I could always switch the soles back if it doesn't fit.

      Editing … I own three pairs of new Nikes, decided to do a tally and check the size/color of each. I have a black size 10 (Lunarglide 9), a black size 9.5 (Lunarglide 9), and a women size 11. I didn't check the box for the women size 11 but according to my emails, it's a Lunarglide 9 purple/white? Interesting.

I'm a size 6, size 6.5, size 8, size 9, I don't fucking know what size I am, because American shoe sizes make NO SENSE. With PANTS it's standard for at least the waist's measurements to be provided, but NOT WITH SHOES, no!

    Does anybody know about shoes that make one taller, preferably from a reputable / well known brand that is also available in Germany? After 9 years of daily usage, my current shoes are falling apart so I need new ones. I've been thinking about getting these ones: https://www.amazon.de/dp/B074CT2Z1Z/?coliid=IDTD62D0YJ8T2&colid=61EC1VLE7J49&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it&th=1&psc=1 But I'm not sure whether I can send them back if they aren't to my liking (seller is from China). I measured my foot size in a store today, it's EU38 / EU39 (however I've been using shoes with size EU42 for the past 9 years so apparently it's not really important?).
