The Yeezy Pods feature a one-piece design that extends up to the calf, providing a snug and comfortable fit. The first colorway comes in a sleek black, and the shoes are available in three sizing options. Reddit users who have tried the Pods are impressed with the shoe quality, describing them as thick, comfy, and warm.
TikTok users have also been raving about the Yeezy Pods. Many compare the feeling of wearing them to a compression sock with a rubber sole and foam insole, giving the sensation of wearing almost nothing. The Pods have been praised for their surprising comfort and unique style.
Perhaps the most shocking aspect of the Yeezy Pods is their price. Originally sold for $200, Kanye West decided to drastically reduce the price to just $20, making them accessible to a much wider audience. This 90% reduction has led to increased interest and sales.
A reddit user shared their Yeezy Pods review on reddit, in a post titled 'Yeezy Pods,' and says:
"I'm usually size 12 in yeezys and these fit perfectly. i'm quite impressed with the build quality of these as most pictures i had seen previewed them to look wonky and just not good quality, these are actually really thick, comfy, and warm. possibly my new favorite footwear item. the material molds to your feet and you even have a bit of room for breathability and comfort."
"Walking feels really good with these, im usually a heel striker and i can feel these are gonna help with this. the side inner ankle does have a "hole" but it's made like that since it's supposed to resemble a sock but these are built firmly so it shouldn't be a problem."
"The packaging is also very simplified with this black satin bag that fits both the pods nicely when they are folded."
"Overall, i give the Yeezy Pods a solid 8.5/10 the only problem i could see is wet weather could be an issue, maybe also finding outfits to match the silhouette style might be difficult for some but its all in how you wear your clothes and how you feel when you wear them."
Commenters responded to the post asking:
"How is everyone getting them already, mine haven’t even shipped yet and i ordered the night they came out"
"Is this a size 3? I’m an 11.5 and ordered a 3"
"I seen sock shoes in the market that can be machine washable, is that the case for these? Do you wear socks over them or wear “barefoot”? What do you think the materials are?"
"What is your shoe size normally outside of yeezy?"
"Are they ripted becuse there are some holes where l can see your ankle"
Reddit user responded:
"i believe this is just machine washable using a bag. you can do either although wearing them barefoot is the more practical approach. it’s a very well knit sock with thick material and intricate weaving with a sturdy rubber sole that is put on in 2 pieces."
"yes this is a size 3, i think you should be fine, i was scared maybe it would’ve been too big but not at all"
"a 12, i have shoes that aren’t yeezy that are 11.5 and they feel too tight"
"no it’s supposed to be like that, socks are manufactured with that small hole and this style of shoe imitates that"
One of the top questions was in regards to which Yeezy size to select (1,2 or 3), the consensus was:
- It's better for the shoe to be a bit higher than being supper loose as the pads would shift around a lot.
- The Reddit user's post is usually a size 12 in Yeezys and size 3 and it fits perfectly
- Most commenters who are a usual 10-11 in US sizing opted for a size 2
- Most commenters who are usually a size 8.5-9 in US sizing opted for a size 1
- A commenter who has is usually a size 12, ordered a size 3 and still has extra space in the front
On the official Yeezy site, recommended size chart for the YZY Pods are as follows:
Size 1: US 6-8.5
Size 2: US 9-10.5
Size 3. US 11-13
