I recently bought a pair of SST 8 shoes because I got them ridiculously cheap and always worried about what I would do if my SST 5 Sport shoes wore out. I absolutely love the looks of the black/red SST 8, but my god, I have never owned any shoes so uncomfortable. I can wear my SST 5 for 10 games and never have sore feet but I can be half way through a league night and my feet are actually aching when wearing the SST 8. I had planned to use my SST 5 as back ups but now plan to use the SST 8 in that spot, unless I can find an insole that makes them more comfortable.
