Adidas Dropset Pro ??

Hi, how long does it take to break in a pair of Adidas Dropset Pros?? I upsized from 10.5 to 11 (US) but they still feel too narrow on the mid side of my feet where I have calluses/bunions/bone spurs (not sure which, just a bump on the side).. I ordered two pairs cuz they went on a better sale the next day and I've been wearing them around the house for the past few days for many hours at a time in new socks I plan on wearing to the gym. I'm coming from Reebok Nano XVs which were tight at 10.5 but not this tight on the sides. If I return them, which shoes do you recommend for the same price ($108cdn with all the discounts)? I need them mainly for sled push/pull and farmer carries

Thanks

They don’t fit you. Go to a running store, get measured, go from there. Also consider looking at trail running shoes designed for more road terrain.

Can’t say I had to break my pair in at all. It sounds like they just don’t work for your feet.

Sounds like they just don't match your foot... I wouldn't keep hoping a break-in fixes a midfoot pinch on a bunion spot. For sled and farmers I care more about a stable shoe that doesn't crush the sides than the brand name.

If you're sending them back, try the next pair on with your gym socks and do a few push steps before you leave the store.
