This usually add durability to the shoe.
Why would they use water soluable glue on shoes? Are they stupid?

GimmeDat wrote:I've been relatively injury free most of my life, but this year my season's been derailed with ankle injuries - I was out several months with torn ligaments after driving and standing on someone's foot early in the year, and since I came back I've rolled the other one 3 times.
Two Thursday's ago I rolled it again from driving in and standing on someone's foot. It wasn't too bad and after a couple of days I could walk fine again.. I had a game the next day and sat out, but the Friday after I played again, only to roll it with 20 seconds of getting on the court, again landing on someone's foot, this time after going up for a rebound. Again, it's not bad, but I've learnt my lesson and am sitting out tonight (last game of the season).
Also, I've been wearing an ankle brace on the right one since the torn ligaments, and haven't had too much trouble since with it. In games I've also had that ankle taped up. Didn't do anything for the left one (the recently injured one), but after the first roll, I had it taped and I still rolled it, which I found a bit concerning. I've gotten another brace now so I have one for each ankle, though I wish I bought it sooner.
Any suggestions? I got given a range of ankle excercises, which i did do religiously for the torn one until I was 'game ready', from which point I slacked off big time, I admit. I've struggled to make time considering I'm doing my final year of school and have been pretty stressed out. I've learnt my lesson and am back on to them now, for both ankles.
Also, and thus the relevance of posting this here, do you think the shoes have much of a factor? I tore the ligaments of the right one in my 2012 Hyperdunks, and haven't worn them much since - a combination of bad karma, the narrow foot giving me occasional foot cramps and the sheer fact that my foot struggles to fit into them with the brace on. My other shoes, which I've been wearing since, are the Under Armour Micro G Torch 2. Been wearing UA's for many years and have found them to be extremely comfortable, though the downside is definitely a lack of traction. They're a wide shoe as well so they fit with the brace nicely.

This is a remedy for plantar fascitis . It helps subside swelling and inflammation under your foot.
The D Lillard 1 features the new Damian Lillard logo which consists of his initials, "DL," fusing together to create a "0." The "0" is Lillard's number on court, which he chose to represent the letter "O" for the three places he's called home: Oakland, where he grew up, Ogden, where he attended Weber State University, and current home state Oregon. Affixed to the left side of the logo is a wing comprised of three stripes, a nod to the nickname of his group of closest friends and family, the "Fly Guyz."
"We're inspired by Damian's elite work ethic and dedication to the game so we designed every aspect of this shoe to compliment Dame's play on the court," said Robbie Fuller, Basketball Design Director. "We're lucky that Dame lives in Portland and is able to talk with us all the time. We can bounce ideas off him and really see what he's interested in and what he wants in his footwear. When it came time to design the D Lillard 1 we were able to deliver a shoe that really speaks to him as a player and person."
To compliment Damian's fast, confident and complete game, the D Lillard 1 midsole features full length adiprene+ cushioning for enhanced responsiveness and superior heel to toe transition. Lillard's versatile style of play is supported by a TECHFIT tongue and inner booty that provide heightened comfort and fit. The D Lillard 1 features a new low-cut, yet stable design, allowing for optimal mobility, comfort and versatility on the court.
In addition to performance elements, the D Lillard 1 features details reflective of his personality and style. These details include the Damian Lillard logo featured prominently on the heel of the left shoe, while "Dame" is written across the tongue of the right shoe. The insole of each shoe features a unique rap lyric written by Lillard that relates to each colorway. The lyrics featured on the shoes tie to Lillard's social media freestyle rap challenge, @4BarFriday. The D Lillard 1 is finished with premium nubuck and leather textures for a sophisticated look and plush fit.
The D Lillard 1 launches at adidas and Foot Locker on February 6 for $105 in three different colorways. Additional colorways will launch throughout the year.
