Shoes are very much an individual choice, depending on gait, weight, stride type etc.

That said, my Nike Air Monarchs III have a lot of games on them and still feel great.

Nike Zoom ordered a size-and-a-half too big in order to allow for two layers of Dr. Scholl's inserts, worn with double layer of socks. Light. Feels like I'm running on air.
As long as I'm in decent running shape my feet thrive in these things. If my feet hurt after doing a game it's my fault not the shoes.

Sounds like your ready for some 2-man games.

I was kinda leaning towards getting some Nike Shoxs but I've heard they are uncomfortable on the court. Anyone experienced this?

I'd check with your medical professional; however, mine told me they don't offer very good support.

I rolled my ankle pretty good two years ago. When I went to see him the first thing he asked was what shoes I was wearing. I told him Nike Shox and he said to junk them.

Your results may vary.

I forwarded your post to Phil Knight. His staff of attorneys will be contacting your doctor presently. It's a good thing he isn't here in Oregon because it's a felony to speak bad of Nike.

I switched to Reebok shoes mid-season. I wanted a little higher top and the New Balances I had been wearing were just about finished anyway.

Very comfortable, not too heavy, good support.

+1 on the Monarchs, although mine are IV's not III's. Great cushioning, best shoes I've used.
