[quote=RedCard][quote=SoccerRef]What exactly hurts?
The older I got, the more arch support I needed, and finally got orthotic inserts which helped tremendously. [/quote]

OP here. Both pairs of shoes felt fine until recently. But now the Adidas Goal shoes (size 10.5) have begun to feel excessively snug, and seem to pinch my toes. Sometimes a couple of my toes on my right foot go a bit numb after about 30 minutes of scrimmaging, and the numbness will linger for a few hours after the scrimmage. This is odd since I have worn these shoes for two years and really enjoyed them. In addition to the numbness, sometimes I feel as if I have those little artificial turf pellets inside of my socks, rubbing around, making it feel a bit like my socks are made of rough sand paper. Yet when I check inside my socks and shoes, nothing is there.

Looking for a solution, I switched over to my Mundial Team shoes, which are size 11. But they feel loose, even with 2 pairs of socks, and I don't like the feeling of my foot slipping within the shoe. Right now, I actually feel more comfortable playing in my socks.

I realize these complaints seem minor -- my feet don't hurt or ache, but I'm not enjoying scrimmaging as much as I used to because I'm constantly aware of my feet and shoes not feeling quite right.
