I laced up these "Jordan 4 Retros", and the fit is true to size for me. The comfort is... it's a retro, so you know what to expect. It's not ultra-plush like some modern shoes, but the Air unit in the heel does its job for casual wear. The lockdown is good, though the plastic wings can feel a bit stiff initially. They're not heavy, but you definitely feel their presence. Now, a real con for some people: the comfort. The midsole is stiff initially and needs a break-in period. If you want a super-soft, pillowy feel from the jump, this isn't it. Also, the plastic wing eyelets can sometimes rub if you're not wearing the right socks. Who should maybe skip? If you prioritize modern, plush comfort above all else, look elsewhere. Also, if you have very wide feet, the fit can be narrow in the toebox. This retro isn't trying to be a performance shoe, so don't expect it to feel like one. It's about the look and the vibe. Who should maybe skip it? If you prioritize ultimate comfort above all else, look at newer models. Also, if you need a super breathable gym or summer shoe, this isn't it. For the $210 USD price tag, you're paying for the name and the legacy, not cutting-edge tech.
