Air Max Tailwind IV Sneaker

Not sure what's going on with qualify of nike but these shoes, along with 3 other nike's i've tried, their width, across the top of the shoes, are so........ tight. They are so tight across the top of the shoes that it acts like a flip-flop. It squeezes the whole top of the feet yet the heels comes right off, but because it's so tight, the shoe stays on. I wear a 9. Always have in nike, for a long long time, width has never been an issue, but now, the shoes are so stiff, very little give to them and the width across the top of the shoes are ridiculously tight!!! I wear them for a while, thinking they would give, but no!!! They were so painful. I even tried the men's shoe, same one but mens, thinking it would be wider... no it was not!!! It was just as tight... so tight! My toes has lots of room, my heel was coming out of the shoes, but because it was so tight across the shoes, it stayed on. Nike needs to make shoes right!
