Is it bad that my basketball shoes hurt my feet the first time?

i just got them and wore them once but they make my feet sore and uncomfortable. Is that a bad sign or is that normal. How long should I wait to see if they improve?

Sore feets. those are normal and they get better after few days but if they are not comfortable then return it. Or you can take it from my experience you have to try the basketball shoes for few days before playing in them in an actual game. Its the only way to get comfortable. I would buy the shoe in 0.5 or 1 size more than my regular size. For example i wear 9 but I wore 9.5 instead. For Lebron zoom II, it was 10 and for Kobe zoom I it was 9.5. my casual shoes are 9. Also make sure your front toes have enough breathing room because you will need the gap when making a full stop. Without it, they hurted. Alot.
Reply:Did you try on your shoes when it was later in the day? your feet expand later in the day after you've been hoofin around. if they feel too tight or you get more sore or blister then toss the shoes and try some different ones. i hear sport insoles help.
Reply:In playing the ball, u have to be comfortable with your playing shoes, otherwise it can affect the outcome of your game. its all in the shoes, sometimes they say it...
Reply:that happened to me so i returned it
