Everyone’s Buying the Yeezy 700

But why would the Yeezy Boost 700, in particular, be so popular, you might ask? If you look around, you’ll find that more and more people including celebrities and influencers are starting to wear these particular shoes.

It has everything to do with the size, fit, durability, comfort, and style of these shoes. If you often have trouble finding the perfect pair of sneakers for you, the 700 Yeezy might be your solution.

Keep reading to learn more about the Yeezys 700 and what makes them special compared to other shoe varieties.

The Size and Fit of Yeezy 700 Sneakers

When it comes to wearing a good shoe, finding the right size is perhaps the most important factor. Most people who wear Yeezy 700s find that these sneakers fit true to size. This means that if the shoe size says 9, for example, it should fit like a perfect 9.

However, there is a problem: many people don’t realize that they’re wearing the wrong shoe size. More than that, many people don’t realize that some brands of shoes may fit differently compared to the sizes of other brands. So, you might think that your shoe size is a 9 when it actually is a 9.5.

This may not sound like a big deal because the size difference is so slight, but you’ll find that it can actually make a very big difference when it comes to the comfort of your feet. This is especially true if you often subject your shoes to a lot of wear and tear. For example, if you play sports or go for runs or long walks, you’ll want to have a shoe that will be able to keep your feet comfortable throughout the day.

You won’t be able to have this luxury if you buy a shoe that doesn’t fit your feet in the right fashion. How can you make sure that you’re wearing the correct shoe size, you might ask? It has everything to do with going to a shoe store in person and trying on a few different shoe sizes.

Many people prefer to buy things from the internet, including shoes, and while this is very convenient, you won’t have the chance to try on the shoes before buying them. After all, there’s nothing worse than getting excited for your new shoes to arrive only to find that they don’t fit.

What You Need to Know About Size and Fit

If you know your exact shoe size, you might have better luck buying shoes online, but even so, you still might find that the toe box is too tight or that the insole doesn’t support the arch of your foot in the right way.

You can avoid these problems by simply going into a shoe store and trying on a few different sizes of shoes. More than that, one of the employees there might help measure your feet so you’ll know exactly what shoe size you wear. This will make finding the right size and fit a much easier task.

More than that, having your feet measured by a professional will let you know whether or not you have wide or narrow feet. Many people get so caught up with the length of their feet that they forget that the width also matters. When it comes to Yeezy 700s such as Yeezy 700 v3 or Yeezy 700 v2, some people find that these shoes run a bit on the narrow side.

For that reason, if you have wide feet, you might find these shoes to be a bit tight. However, if they are only a little tight, you should be able to break them in after wearing them for a while and they’ll be comfortable for you in no time. Other than that, you’ll find that Yeezy 700s are sized very generously and you shouldn’t have any trouble finding the right size for you, no matter your foot size.

But great sizing is only one of the many benefits that these shoes have to offer.

How Comfortable Are Yeezy 700 Sneakers?

While Yeezy 700s might be super stylish (check this out now to see how stylish they are), looks alone aren’t enough to make a pair of sneakers comfortable. Fortunately, most people who wear these sneakers tend to find them to be very comfortable. This is not all that surprising since Yeezy 700 sneakers are produced by Adidas and Adidas has a reputation for producing some of the most comfortable shoes on the market.

Other Adidas models such as the Ultra Boost sneakers or Yeezy Boost 350 were both very comfortable when they were first released and the Yeezy 700s are no different. The secret behind these comfortable shoes has everything to do with Adidas’ special “Boost” technology in the midsoles. But what is so special about this Boost technology, you might ask?

You’ll find that the midsoles in Yeezy 700s are a bit firmer compared to other Yeezy varieties, but this is not necessarily a bad thing. Even though the midsoles might not be as soft to step on, the additional thickness and firmness of the midsoles actually give the shoes a much better sense of stability. As you walk, you’ll find that the midsoles will grasp your feet in a way that will make walking an effortless task.

You won’t have to worry about your feet sinking too far into the shoes and making it hard to walk like a normal person. Keep in mind that these firm midsoles don’t sacrifice the importance of comfort at all. You will still find that these shoes have amazing cushioning throughout and that your feet will be cradled by the shoes.

But the benefits don’t stop there.

The Details

There are also some mesh underlays involved which make the shoe very breathable. This is especially important for those who live in hot or humid climates.

The last thing you want is for your shoes to have no ventilation whatsoever and for your feet to be sweating right into the shoes. Yeezy 700s, on the other hand, use the mesh underlays to make sure that plenty of air flows in and out of the shoe as you walk. For that reason, you won’t have to worry about your feet overheating even in the middle of summer.

Also, if your shoes get a bit wet, they should dry out pretty fast because of how lightweight and breathable they are. However, there is a small downside to this shoe: some may find that the insoles leave a bit to be desired. This is because the insoles are quite thin and they don’t offer a lot of absorption.

Even so, the rest of the shoe should make up for this small shortcoming.

How Durable Are Yeezy 700 Sneakers?

Of course, the last thing you want when buying a new pair of sneakers is for those sneakers to fall apart soon after you start wearing them. This is especially true if you lead an active lifestyle and often go jogging or play sports in your sneakers. Even when subjecting your sneakers to all sorts of wear and tear, a good pair of shoes should still hold up.

Once the soles of a pair of shoes start to wear down, you’ll find yourself encountering all sorts of problems. To start with, the thin soles will not provide very much shock absorption, so you’ll end up feeling the force and weight of your body on your feet and joints every time you take a step. Besides that, as a shoe’s soles become thin and worn down, you will start to feel pebbles and other objects under your feet as you walk.

This, of course, is not anyone’s idea of comfort. These problems usually only happen after a few years of wearing a given pair of shoes. However, some cheap shoes may start to show signs of this kind of wear and tear only after a year or two of use.

Fortunately, you’ll find that Yeezy 700s are quite durable. The soles of these shoes are very thick and sturdy while still being very flexible. For that reason, you can wear these shoes to your heart’s content and you won’t have to worry about the soles wearing out.

What You Need to Know

The rest of the shoe is quite durable as well. In particular, there are parts of the shoe that are made of premium suede. Suede is notorious for being quite a delicate kind of leather that can easily show damage, but the suede used for Yeezy 700s is very sturdy.

This is not to mention that the suede gives these shoes a very unique and stylish look. However, you should keep in mind that these shoes are not invincible. Eventually, they will start to sustain damage over the years.

To make them last longer, you should take care of them and make sure they stay dry. Because of the suede, you should avoid taking these shoes through puddles or through the rain since water can create spots in the suede which can be next to impossible to remove.

The Style of the Yeezy 700S

Perhaps the biggest selling point of these shoes is how stylish they are. Any shoe enthusiast is sure to fall in love with the appearance of these sneakers. As mentioned before, the outer part of the shoes contains small portions of suede which adds a bit of a creative flair when mixed with the other materials of the shoe.

This is not to mention that these Yeezys come in many different colors and color combinations. The shoe laces in particular tend to come in colors that contrast against the other colors of the shoe, making the overall shoe look particularly striking. You’ll also find that because the look of this shoe is so versatile, you can style it in any way you want.

These shoes are a bit on the chunky side which makes it easy to make a statement with them. For example, there’s nothing stopping you from wearing these shoes with a pair of shorts or a dress. The chunky nature of these shoes will function to make your legs look slimmer than they are in reality.

Style Tips

Styling these shoes with a pair of baggy pants is always a good idea. Baggy pants themselves such as sweatpants or jeans are not all that attractive on their own, but when you pair them with something very eye-catching like a pair of Yeezy 700 sneakers, the whole look comes together without any effort. This is because a pair of baggy pants aims to direct attention away from the pants themselves and to other parts of your outfit, most notably your shoes.

A classic way to show off your sneakers is to wear all black. That way, the only thing that will really be worth looking at will be your shoes which, of course, will be the only part of your outfit that isn’t black.
