I’ve bought this pair of Li-Ning tt shoes and only the left one is mad uncomfortable while the right one is absolutely fine. The shoes on the side are very breathable so not much structure and particularly at the calcaneus bone where it protrudes there’s not enough space. But weirdly, only on the left side, the shoes seem symmetric and so do my feet.

So will the shoes get wider overtime after some intense usage? I’m asking this because if not then I’m gonna sell them while they’re brand new.

Are you left or right footed?
Most people have a slightly larger dominant foot, could be that extra cm/half cm that makes the heel tight?
My experience with boots is they need to be broken in.
My experience with runners has been they're either comfortable or they're not...

I’ve always been right footed so I assume that’s supposed to be slightly bigger if anything, so this doesn’t really make sense for me. Perhaps the difference between my feet are so tiny that I can’t see it but can feel it while wearing tight shoes.
Could just be a dodgy pair of shoes too. Poor quality control can easily see the heel box be a slightly different shape/size on 2 opposite shoes.
Any chance to still return them?
