I found these online, I'm not sure what they are or if they are real Rick trainers, I've never seen this design before:

break-in

Is is normal for them to be pretty uncomfortable in the back of the heel area at first? I'm trying different insoles to see if I can alleviate some of the discomfort, but am hoping that it's a common issue. I picked up the distressed leather black/white version if it makes any difference.

[cuddly]

never really had any discomfort,but that heel area is tougher piece of leather so after some breaking in it should soften up.

They had them at Paris Texas for women.

Mine were quite uncomfortable when I first wore them. It's due to two reasons, the leather in the heel is super tough at first + the heel part itself portrudes into the inside of the shoe more at first. As you wear them the tough leather will eventually soften & the heel piece will wear back to accomdate your foot.

(only took one wear for me)

I'm pretty sure these were like the first pair of hightops rick designed. Not sure if they were even produced or if they were just a proto. Even if they were produced, so few pairs would have been made that you probably won't ever see them. I think he adapted them into the current hightops later...

I've seen two pairs go on Ebay so far.

^Yeah, those exist in reality.

The break-in period depends on the size of your feet.. And how small they are for you. Mine were way too small and the hard leather at the back didn't wear in at all. My heels will attest to the hardness of the rears. Best to get them slightly larger than you truly need them, or your true size, since they're a bit large in the toebox.

One of my biggest problems was the concealed heel letting my foot slide down toward the front and hurting my toes. Anybody else have that?

[ghettosalazar]

they expand somehow, my 42s now feel at least a size larger

[BeauIXI]

They are made of leather. The expansion is just from wear.

I've got to say I'm pretty damn excited to get mine in the mail today. I ended up getting the 45's from Casius despite being closer to a true 46.

I tried on a pair of 45's in NY, and it seemed like it would be fine with thin socks, but Beaux's uncomfortable experience is making me a little nervous. ahh well - will report back as soon as I've had them on for a couple days.

If they do work - I doubt you'll be able to pry them off me all summer long.
