First impression: good style, very lightweight, funky/shaped insole, moderate cushioning. Only reason I didn't select these is that my foot is generally flatter and a bit wide (E). Often I can wear a D with little problem, but this shoe's toe box felt as if it were more narrow and longer (a "small D" if that makes sense).

This shoe is a little deceiving: it looks like it could be a running/cross training shoe, and the shoe looks much better in person. I've hit the courts about 3 times now since I've received them and these are some nimble kicks. There are some scuff marks on the toe already as it doesn't have the traditional rubber toe mound most tennis shoes have, but I think that's what gives the shoe such a nice look. Breaking them in might take some time. I had some sore spots towards the front of my foot but by the third time I played in them I was fine.
Brands I'd also recommend: Nike

Even though the description indicates for Tennis Court. I purchased the shoes to play racquetball. I have to say, it's the best shoe that I have ever owned for racquetball. I've been playing for 20 years. My game has improved. Highly recommend! Just for fun, when I win a tough game, I walk off the court carrying the shoe like a baby.
