Please do this to Puma Clyde Al Pro Doc 🙏

[@JC-se8mi]

I’m so glad I stumbled on this channel. The BEST detailed performance review with science. No same daily review of AJ1 retros in different colour ways.

[@FootDoctorZach]

Thanks I appreciate it!

[@k.anomah]

I wear these casually. In terms of the weight it is a little weird at first bit you get use to it. I wear half a size up. The issue with this shoe is no outrigger and the fact it is not the Clyde all pro. The clyde all pro set the bar so high for many people anything else after that would be immediately compared to that.

[@FootDoctorZach]

Hopefully the Melos are a step up

[@josephfisher9323]

Puma always moves away from what works. Their Clyde All Pros were raved about by almost all reviewers and considered one, if not the best b-ball shoe of last year. What happened and where is that shoe now!?!?

[@josephfisher9323]

A least two NBAers have sprained their ankles in the fusion nitro. Too narrow and no out-rigger.

[@FootDoctorZach]

Yeah weird that they went away from that design

[@eddielim3909]

I was so disappointed when they didn’t carry on with the All Pro line which I think was (still is) the best basketball shoes in the last two years. I’ve 3 pairs btw.

[@eddielim3909]

Seems like they’ve discontinued the Clyde All-Pro but rolling out the same design with lower tech and material for “team” basketball to school kids at a lower price point.

[@kablegamesmaniac8148]

@@eddielim3909 me too 3pairs

[@acemacgruber6593]

There doesn’t seem to be many actual leather shoes any more like Stan Smith’s or Jordan 1’s. A review of any remaining leather sneakers or tennis shoes would be cool. Thanks for the great channel.

[@FootDoctorZach]

👍👍 the new kyries have some but yeah leather usually weighs down shoes or makes them a bit soft

[@acemacgruber6593]

@@FootDoctorZach I agree that leather would probably be heavier. It would probably be more expensive then plastic, nylon and polyester mesh etc. The softness would depend on the construction. Some mesh and plastic shoes break in very quickly, whereas quality leather that’s not too thin takes a while. Have you done a dremel test on leather? Thanks and keep up the good work.

[@FootDoctorZach]

Yep, synthetic and real - it’s all over the place

[@s21swb]

I have had these for 3 months now and am super happy with them they’re so comfy. The ones you have look like they’re a clear size too big for you.

[@FootDoctorZach]

Glad they’re working well for you - nope my standard 11.5

[@deerock3350]

I really appreciate your videos! I wonder if you could do video on the Kobe 6 protro? They seem to be the hottest crave amongst the youths and the NBA going for as much as $1000. Thanks for another great informative video!

[@FootDoctorZach]

Yeah if I can get them that’d be awesome

[@graysonkelly41]

Please Review the All Pro Nitro!! I have patellar femoral disease in the right knee and I am coming back from a tibial break on the left leg! They seem like good fits for me but I’d love for your to review the shoe!

[@runderwood340]

Please review the puma Clyde all pro

[@aaryandubey3978]

So brother, if you're explosive and continuously dunking in game, with direction shifts , and rebounding , wil it be worth it? As in for a small forward? I'd appreciate the help..

[@noobchickensupper6471]

Can you tell me anything about the fusion nitro team?Please

It's gonna be a drop for me, any instability issues or potential issues I'll stay far away from with previous sprains and heel pain

Yeah unfortunately that’s probably a good idea

[@jostjuice]

@@FootDoctorZach just don’t cut those in half if you’re paying extreme $$$ ...just saying 🤣

[@aerox3396]

Personately I think this is a good shoes but not for zion

[@alfredhitchcock45]

Don’t blame your jump on the shoe. You just don’t jump high

[@FootDoctorZach]

Lol dude I’m under 6ft and 25 lbs overweight no one here is under the illusion I have a good vertical

[@avyayanayyar8899]

Personally I love these shoes. For me, it just fits perfect and the cushioning is top notch.

[@FootDoctorZach]

Glad to find someone who likes them that much- ive been waiting to hear from a few of you

[@bhuwanchandra2066]

Finally someone using tools and scales to check durability rather than just guessing it from looking at outsole.

[@FootDoctorZach]

Even my set up isn’t perfect- so much error can be found in any test not done completely by machine but it’s at least consistent from video to video

[@pksangavaram]

You gotta do an updated video of the latter colorways of the fusion. Apparently they made some tweaks to address lateral stability. Also they introduced a few fusion models with traditional lacing system.

[@FootDoctorZach]

Hmmmmm- now I’m intrigued

[@pksangavaram]

@@FootDoctorZach it was on good authority that they heard it on good authority that latter colorways got the tweak. Also - the new black fives fusion colorway have the full traditional lacing system. I mean I keep looking at the shoes since so many nba players were wearing them- my thoughts are they couldn’t be that bad.

[@mitsuralli21]

Great review Dr Zach. I got these shoes at launch and experienced the instability to the point of a sprain. Haven’t really trusted the shoe after that. I would love to hear your take on lunarlon like in the later model Kobes. My play style is on the fast and explosive side with lateral shifts but I’m also 36, currently rehabbing a L ankle dislocation and a grade 2 R ankle sprain that happened 3 weeks after. I’m in the military so I still have to work (Combat Medic). And I’m a retired MMA pro fighter so my body seems cashing checks at this point lol.

[@FootDoctorZach]

Yeah you have a lot going one south of the ankle I’m sure jeeze

[@mitsuralli21]

@@FootDoctorZach yes but honestly I’m goal oriented (and stubborn) so I’m already all in the rehab process. Rebuild and improve. lol

[@jojitelizalde6965]

As usual a great review with a lot to take into consideration. Science over the aesthetics as it should be with regards to performance footwear. I think it's a pass on these. I can see my foot rolling around and skidding off the foot bed during laterals with these.

[@FootDoctorZach]

Definitely a shoe you have to get used to or yep that’s exactly what’s gonna happen

[@adamharrison8028]

I’ve been playing in these for 2 months and i actually like them and one of my favourites I like the dense feeling as I’m not a high flyer I have tweaked my ankle once but I think that was my footwork not the shoe

[@adamharrison8028]

I really like how these fit too fits my foot like a glove

[@junhao7367]

What is the difference between it and Fusion Nitro Team？

[@sebastiendaubagna5578]

I love the fusion nitro team with standard lacing system🔥

[@DrCuh]

I move a lot laterally and with power I play wing and forward but I didn't have an issue with the less lace hole si found it great for my high arch and didn't have any slips great shoes if u are below like 180lbs

[@upclosesneakers6875]

I actually really liked these, only played in them once but I was completely satisfied with my playtime in these..

[@jonathanlayadi]

I hope you make teardown technology in puma clyde all pro because many reviewers said that it was better than this alot.

[@eddielim3909]

Please do if you can, I’ve 3 pairs and would really want to know your insights on what make it so good.

[@jonathanlayadi]

Eddie Lim wow does it worth to buy another pair? How long the durability and where do you use indoor or outdoor? Does the upper need time to be more flexible? cause i think it is a little bit stiff, I just buy it and use one time at outdoor and it seems good

[@chrisworland7754]

can't wait for your thoughts on the Puma TRC Blaze Court if you pick up a pair

[@JuneAthlete]

Thanks for sharing doc!

[@menzi4856]

I played in these for the first time a day ago. I was a bit worried about stability watching reviews but these kicks really aren’t that bad. Comfy as hell and they’re great for dunking, or maybe it’s just me.

[@vizzee2562]

I feel the same I've had them for about 2 weeks now and the bounce and stability in them are great but the traction is a 50/50

[@jaskarnsingh606s2]

The budget versions changed lacing set up

[@kajocikatic5252]

Awesome reviews as always. Could you have in consideration new UA Hovr Havoc 4 for review? Thank You

[@David-1216]

Great video as always!

[@raveriv8981]

Definitely the best shoe reviews as far as detail...it also seems as if you give honest reviews...wish we could watch some basketball games or show some abilities, to know how you would use the shoes in comparison to us

[@FootDoctorZach]

Thanks! Yeah it’s tough trying to get the doc and player perspective plus get them out in a timely manner

[@Optimization_Coach]

Last thing we need is more lateral injuries. Been there done that! Good review Zach....Ty

[@FootDoctorZach]

👍👍

[@darwinmoresco7724]

If my size in Nike is size 13 if snug fit, size 12 for this Puma Fusion Nitro is okay with me? Or might go to size 13 instead?

[@brandmarikina]

Go 13/13.5

[@TheSketchyBean]

Great video! How would you compare these to the Puma RTC Blaze Courts? Especially considering it seems like there are other versions of the Fusion Nitros with full laces.

[@nazrinhussen3283]

seems like fusion nitro got other design without fushion fit strap. Hope able to review the latest one with all laces to see how the lateral stability goes. And personally quite like with fusion nitro line up.

[@9888891027]

Just bought it recently. My feet actually starts to hurt after some time due to low blood flow in my feet.

[@1209MArky]

I have extremely flat feet and these fit perfect and is almost a positive for these shoes lol

[@paulwallner3017]

Good afternoon Zach. Im in a bit of a pickle. I simply loved the court ballistec 4.3 but I’ve just torn my last pair to shreds and can’t find an unused pair anymore. What are your recommendations for shoes very close to my trusty CB 4.3s? Ps: love the content

[@FootDoctorZach]

Probably the old zoom zeros - ATM not many, maybe blushield 5- they’re pretty unique shoes

[@euLIRIC]

I returned them, they're not nearly stable enough for the lateral movements specific to basketball. Such a shame after the Clyde All Pro success. It's almost like they forgot how to make a good shoe...

[@FootDoctorZach]

Yeah not my favorites for sure

[@jimmywarren01]

Zach love this review. I may get a pair later on when they are discounted.. another option for a summer outdoor basketball training shoes🏀. I'm posting on here today because I think a good and now cheap shoe you may enjoy is still available....the Puma Double Disc basketball shoe. It's a late 2020 release...would be a unique shoe for you to review. No laces, cool retro modern concept.

[@FootDoctorZach]

Awesome I’ll check them out
