no way chuck taylors all stars are comfortable man, those things hurt my feet

[@merc7paul]

Of course your feet are the end all be all of all feet 🐾

[@Tain950]

@@merc7paulHell No this man is spot on Chuck Taylors are horrifyingly uncomfortable. Not only are they brutal on your feet, they also start hurting your knees. If you’re looking to end up getting early knee replacements just wear Chuck Taylors 😂

Bro saying Jordan 1 is comfortable 💀

[@mrotaveria]

... and Chucks

[@AndrewHadi07]

Is the Jordan really more comfortable then the 990 🤨🤔. I found it difficult to believe based on the shape of the sole.

[@blazebandit39]

I just bought my first pair of Nike cortez & absolutely shocked by how comfortable it is. I work 10 hours a day walking about 12 to 16 miles every day

[@leoferrari2849]

I have used most of the shoes in this list. All from new balance are the best. Chucks really?! Nah man, that's the most uncomfortable shoe IMHO

[@Tain950]

I agree, you’ll end up needing knee replacements wearing Chuck Taylor’s 😂

[@jaycordner3890]

As said previously. Boost feels different depending on implementation. For example the nmd s1 is so so comfortable. Soft but somehow firm. Perfect blend.

[@hiratiomasterson4009]

With regard to boost, it's really multiple different implementations of it that provide very different experience on feet. The original Ultraboost/DNA is much softer than the current 21/22 - will be interesting to see how the 23 pans out. But boost on the EQT was crazy soft, not that far off ZoomX foam in many good squishy ways. Boost HD was actually the firmest boost - pretty mediocre in my opinion, but am sure many loved it. Boost is a family of midsole tech that gives you varied experiences on foot.

[@Drownedinblood]

I'm a fan of the current boost more. I think it will hold up better in the long run. Using it at first it feels stiff and uncomfortable but within a mile it kind adjusted to my foot. Standing in the 22s is weird though I feel wobbly in the heel.

[@user-yx4on8hx4w]

idk why they ever changed the formula, the original Boost midsole was the best. They peaked with the 19's, everything since then has been a downgrade. Really sad I didn't buy like 20 pairs of the 19's when they were available

[@jjjjonathan]

This is just a list of shoes with affiliate links in the description 🤨

[@malachi2065]

Facts because at least 75% of this list isn’t comfortable for all day wear at all.

[@charlesk86]

chuck 70s have a more comfortable insole and vans skate versions of old skool, authenic, era, etc. have a pop cush insole thats very comfortable for all day wear. dunk sb > jordan 1 > gr dunks

[@Tain950]

I’ll take a pair of classic Vans any day over Chuck Taylor’s. I find Chuck Taylor’s to be extremely uncomfortable do to the amount of foot and knee pain they cause.

[@theicemankk]

Love the video Hes. I literally bought the 990v6 yesterday, put them on feet straight out the store and rocked it for an hour and half walk straight. Loved it.

[@heskicks]

Solid pair! Wear mine a ton already!

[@Johnmims65]

@@heskicks what is more comfortable the Nike dunks low or the Air Force 1 low?

[@asianstylemeat]

@@Johnmims65 AF1 because it has a big full length air unit. Dunks are just solid rubber

[@boyantrifonov]

I am a social dancer (Salsa, Bachata and Kizomba) I love the Puma Suedes silhouette. They do not have bits sticking out so I know exactly where my foot is so that I don't step on a lady's foot. The outsole is not very grippy (which is something I look for so I can do a spin) When I need to do a weight transfer the flat bottom works for me being able to keep a balance. I can dance for hours and come back home and even though my feet are a bit sore it is mainly because I danced for hours and not the shoes' fault. As much as I like the max cushion running shoes - the grip and the squishiness are negatives for social dancing.

[@audradecker1437]

I do NOT find the Chuck T's comfortable!!! I DO wear the Vans Oldskool!!! With the new ComfyCush.

[@notgray88]

I found Adidas Pro Model 2 a great shoe for comfort. And they're affordable so you don't have to worry about getting them dirty at work. The Bounce foam lasts longer than boost too.

[@placeholder3863]

the most comfortable shoes to me are the lightest ones the best shoe is the one I dont realize im wearing can you make a list of the lightest shoes?

[@KENNITHEUS]

you and your video are top their bro you were one of ppl that put me on to NB and 99x models in particular the 990 v6 and 991 that v6 is crazy comfortable! plus after getting questionable QC from nike it's refreshing to see a brand that has such high quality materials on there products! keep killing it !!

[@younggotti8195]

Really thought this was going to be an aged tech list…Nike air, ASICS gel, saucony grid etc..

[@dchang925]

So was this a ranking of likability or comfort?

[@ydcjydcj1724]

Samba and gazelle are very narrow to be a stable comfort shoes. Chuck's are on the narrow end too

[@jace4551]

i would love to recommend another comfortable firm shoe, which are slightly underrated, the nike air huarache

[@adamdoc73]

Reebok Questions are definitely top 10 in this style of sneaker. Way more comfortable than 80%of this list. Love your videos 👍

[@stylesisdaname1160]

nah to the chuck taylor. unless its the skate kind lol

[@TitusMH]

Both are trash in the bag

[@TimJohnson-x1o]

You are correct. Soft squish like my new 1080v14s, which are so much better than the 13s btw, are awesome for WALKING, running, or moving in general. BUT for doing a lot of standing, a more firm shoe is for sure better. You should try... The 840 v1. Really good. Also Altra. Either the Torin or Via Olympus 2, which is now the VIW FWD, are really comfortable shoes which "firmer" cushioning. it's still quite soft by any standard other than 2024 running shoe standards, but yea compared to a 1080 its firm. Way softer than a lot of the weird and not comfy at all shoes you talked about here tho. Sorry bro but shoes like those reebok classics or other shoes with hard rubber or PU cupsoles are not comfortable or good for your feet all. There is no argument otherwise. You can shoes that actually have cushioning and compliance but aren't literal marshmallows like 1080s. Super soft = unstable which isn't good for standing but fine for moving. They make versions of those same foams just with less air so they are a bit firmer. The Fresh Foam x 840v1 is a great example. It's fresh foam x but feels nothing like a 1080 or a More or anything like that.

[@srm6130]

Respectfully this list is wylin lol. I would rate the older air maxes ahead of most of these.

[@mrotaveria]

Air Max 1 FTW

[@wade_county]

Air Max 90 and Air Max 180 are the most comfortable Air Maxes. I'd wear those over the majority of these on this list.

[@chrispinnick3816]

In a similar vein to the NB 990s the Nike Vomero 5 are a great all day shoe

[@jasonmiszuk9870]

Jordan 3’s are my go to daily wear. Probably my favorite shoe to wear all day.

[@jonwolk4]

[@abhishekraval6331]

Are you making list for uncomfortable shoes?

[@danwilson12]

Has he done a review of the Adidas 00s? I love that model in a variety of colors

[@Sam_Pillay]

Some corrections: - The New Balance 550, Adidas Forum and Superstars don't have a solid rubber out/midsole, they have a foam midsole - Converse All Stars and Vans don't have a thick midsole, they don't actually have a midsole at all, just a rubber outsole and an insole - Jordan 1s and Nike Dunks don't have the same mid/outsole, Jordan 1s have a small air bubble in the heel while Dunks have a foam midsole

[@Tain950]

Bro I would never associate Chuck Taylor’s and Air Force Ones with being comfortable 😂 Chuck Taylor’s cause major foot pain and will result in getting early knee replacements. While Air Force Ones feel like clunky bricks on the feet.

[@datharo5]

When I want something a little bit more firm, I really like the Asics Gel-Lyte's I have... I have a couple pair of 1, 3, and 5's and they're all comfy. Also most of Saucony's original collection that includes the jazz and grid 9000's have been comfy for me.

[@mylastaltsrrsly5967]

Which gel lyte do you like the most? I'm looking to the 3s

[@mickey034]

AF1 have more "air" than Js1 right? But still made my knees and leg hurt after a day at the mall. Either I'm too familiar or used to my boost or react shoes or im just old lol. I still like AF1s over Js. Js looks too narrow and uncomfortable for my foot type

[@Burritosarebetterthantacos]

The Jordan Formula 90 is a great daily for me personally.

[@dragorocky]

Fam, I just throw in/replace cushy insoles to offset the discomfort of a chuck. Also I usually opt for the skate version of most classic staples: CTS Cons instead of classic chuck.

[@waqarnasim89]

Can you please tell me the model of the utraboost 22 black and grey shoe at 2.19 time of the video

[@routex1]

This ranking is wild.

[@zhongsense]

The Saucony Rides are great. Not uber firm, but compared to all the max-cushion shoes I think they're a happy medium.

[@andyn6053]

Is NB 990 suitable for wide forefeet?

[@chasen432]

So a Nike flat bottom shoe is better at standing all day than a 990v6?! That's hard to believe.

[@antiguy1994]

I want to mention alot of brooks and on clouds are on the firm side but really good for standing all day on.

[@carlson2012abqb]

If I wore any of these at work(Ford) except for the adidas, my feet would be DEAD after 30 minutes 😭

[@stevesun3069]

NB 574s are all-day comfort and style. Very minimal foot fatigue for me. And it doesn't break your wallet too. 🔥

[@psputranoveka]

As someone with a hella wide feet, i'll put aj1 in number 10 and new balance 990 on number 1 while 2002r on number 2. Aj1 are really uncomfortable to me meanwhile i can use my 990v5 all day. I still like 2002r but it cant beat 990v5 based on my personal experience.

[@Tajmadeek]

Midsoles aren't the same on 1s and dunks, 1s have air in the wedge and dunks don't, except for SBs which have zoom

[@needmorecowbell6895]

My feet require a firm midsole and a outersole with almost zero flexibility. I've been a New Balance dad shoe guy for years and years and years until the technology changed and the brand got trendy. I love me some dad shoes. I'm wearing Rebook Zig Dymanica, Adidas Oz's, Puma Cell technology shoes.

[@mrotaveria]

Agree on the 550, the 990s, the AF1s and the Superstars, totally disagree on the Chuck Taylors, they are horrendous. Another ones that i find super comfy are the Air Max 1s and the 90s

[@johnmackay496]

Random question have you tried/know anything about the Adidas Esiod?

[@ivanfernandez5847]

The Chuck Taylors Comme des Garçons are surprisingly comfortable.

He's kicks what about the puma rsx thoses are underrated 💯💯💯💯

[@Yong_Goh]

i guess not all feet are created equal.. having currently about a hundred over sneakers in my current rotation, i ordered two pairs of Jordan 1s last year in the low and mids form and it was one of the most uncomfortable shoes i ever tried on... Stiff toe box with little breathability. Good thing I could return them. I also have AF1s which i could live with but wont put them near a list of most comfy sneakers... From my experience with Nike i would rate the Reacts and the Roshes as the most comfy... the Waffle 1s also decent in that department. Yes the New Balance of course. I have the 990 v5 and v6 and either will be my gotos for an upcoming long distance travel.

[@psputranoveka]

im with u i guess because of my wide feet jordan 1s are super uncomfortable. Maybe i have to try upsize from my usual size for aj1 but after using 990v5 for 1 year now, I can say that 990v5 > AJ1 always. Super comfortable even after using it for the whole day

[@basically_chris]

I skater. Ican guarante the vans slip on hurts. you step on a rock you feel it. you step on a coin. you feel it. your phone falls on your foor/shoe. it hurts. They can be good for skateboarding, sometimes, sure, but to walk around it's a bad shoe. have you tried it?

[@ivankar7324]

how about the nb 1080 v12 or fresh foam x more v4 for standing all days?

I love the comfort on my 574 Newbies. I started wearing new balance last year to be different from the hype. So since last summer I started with 327s then 574 ruggeds then 574 conversations amongst us JFGs and more to come. And please let these kids know the difference between retro runners and dad shoes.

Love your vids Hes and this is another good one. But…lol the Nike General Purpose show is generally unattainable for the general population. Us normal folk can’t get them unless you want to pay triple the original price. Pass. And I agree with other comments Chucks should never be in anything with comfort in the title. The shoe I’d add to the list is the On cloudflow. Pretty firm cushion and little drop. My favorite shoe right now

[@romeoisaac3740]

I think Jordan 4 are comfortable too when you wear them to many times

[@CarloDimacali]

Hello Hez, I was wondering if you can do a video on comfortable insoles. I love the cushy feel of the Rebel V3, 1080v12. But I also like the stability of the shoes like the 990v6, Adidas Ozrah. I wonder if I can make make my 990v6 and Ozrah be more comfortable with nice insoles. I value your import because I think we have the same type of feet and body mass. Out of all the reviewers, I value yours the most.
