This is addressed somewhat in the article:
> Players, for example, will tell you that after about a half hour on the court, their feet will swell, sometimes up to a half size. This changes their comfort level significantly. So they have a choice: either play with their shoes too loose for 30 minutes or tighten them enough to be painful by halftime. Not with an adjustable shoe.
- PakG1 8y agoWhy not just retie the shoelaces at halftime?
- tempestn 8y agoThey probably do, but they're already painful by then.
- kingosticks 8y agoSo the safety argument isn't real then. It's a comfort argument.
- jkaplowitz 8y agoMisadjusted shoes can cause injury, whether too loose or too tight. It's a safety issue.
