I’m 5ft 7in 138 lbs and 21 years old. I’m a shifty guard who does a lot of hard stop and go movement, always running and jumping on the court. I have flat, low-arch feet with a fairly broad forefoot and splayed toes. Been struggling with toenail pain and bottom of feet pain since highschool which led to me taking a break from playing for a while. I wanna start up again now that I got some money to start over again and pick out a couple shoes for myself 🤞

Open to all brands of shoes out there, even the pricey ones like ANTA and Way of Wade, except Nike 💀 Kind of lost hope in Nike shoes but IF there’s one that could help me I’m all ears.

Pls help a young fellow out 🙏

Specifics:
- 5’8 130 lbs. and 21 years old. I don’t play competitive ball just comp rec hoops 😂

- I play the guard position, I stop and go a lot and also jump a lot on the court. I’m always running basically.

- I’m flat footed on both feet and have wide feet. Toes are fucked up from past shoes sliding a lot.

- I play 99% of the time indoors barely ever outside
** Sometimes experience bottom foot pain after extensive play time **

Budget: I try to keep under $150
Im interested in ANTA Kai shoes just don’t know which one to pull the trigger on for my situation. Any other recs would be appreciated though

I’m 5’7 about 130 pounds. I’m flat footed on both feet but have never had any ankle problems. Recent shoes I’ve bought are dame 8s and lebrons (hate both 💀)

I’ve always had a problem where every time I play ball, my feet just get messed up. Recently, even though the shoe fits, it still feels like I’m messing up my feet and toes. After every session, the bottom of my feet HURT and my toes ache sometimes bleed. I play fast, I stop and go a lot, I jump for rebounds whenever I can I’m an active player on the court. 😂

Need some recommendations for shoes that fit my feet type and play-style. Maybe I’ve just been unlucky in shoe picking lol
