kudos to Marbury and Wallace

[jkjenning]

Mixed review on my new Starbury's; maybe my feet do not like high-tops - despite having the shoes tied on firmly from the get-go, they began rubbing my upper ankle raw somewhere in the 2nd game and by the 3rd game I gave up hope of finding a method to tie them which would be comfortable [without delaying the game].

What I don't like about the shoes is that the laces are designed to be laced "to the top". Because of how they rubbed my ankle [whatever that lateral bump is called] I would want to ignore the last 2-3 eyelits when lacing them up - only problem is there is only one pair of eyelets - at the top, and the rest of the lacing passes through lace-like loops, and I wonder if they will take the stress of an abbreviated lacing.

Hopefully Wallace's shoes will be low-tops. I'll try these again next weekend with a different lacing scheme, but will have my New Balance's on hand - I have never had any foot discomfort with those shoes, but they are a low-cut shoe and that may be the key for me.
