The Big Ben shoes: Cut my feet, even if I'm just wearing them for casual wear. They start cutting up around my ankle. If I am doing any physical activity in them, they just start filleting my feet. The Starbury portion of the Starbury brand on the other hand don't do that, give a bit more support. I am apt to believe that Ben Wallace's declined play may be a result of his shoes, more so than old age. He first shifted to the Starbury's, and saw a little bit of a decline. But when he switched to the Big Ben's, that is when his play really fell off. NBA players should not be wearing this crap. The Starbury shoes are for poor people, and those who don't want to spend a lot on their shoes, not for a professional athlete. It's admirable that Steph and Wallace want to show their support for their product by wearing them in NBA games, but that doesn't change the fact that these shoes are crap. NBA players should be wearing Nike's or Adidas, not these pos.
