Very comfortable shoe. Great playing on clay. True to size! I always go a 1/2 size up in running shoes, but these are very true to size. I also like a little extra room in the toe box which these shoes have.

Great Shoe -
I have wide feet and have had trouble finding shoes comfortable enough to play tennis in. These are the most comfortable court shoes I have ever worn for tennis. I wore them the day I received them for a couple of hours of tennis and had no problems. They fit perfectly. I highly recommend them. I will be buying several more pairs.

Love these shoes -
After trying 3-5 pairs of tennis court shoes I finally found my sole-mate, a little play on words. These are terrific shoes, no break-in time and they are very comfortable. I plan to order another pair before Prince quits making them. They're also great if you are a toe dragger. I love my new tennies.

Best Ever -
I have been suffering with numb, tingling foot for years and years. I have tried every shoe on the market with little success UNTIL I got this shoe. I have worn them 3 times and have played for hours with absolutely no pain, tingling or numbness. I am going to order 3 more pairs immediately.

Great Shoes!
I ordered the shoes Thursday, received them Friday, and played in them for 2 1/2 hours Saturday. They were so comfortable. There was no break in required. I'm really picky about shoes and have a hard time finding ones that fit right and are comfortable. I have a pair of T10s that I have been playing in, but I like the T9s a lot better. My toes didn't seem to get as beat up in these. My only complaint is that they did seem to make my feet look a little long. I'm tempted to get a couple of more pairs to put away for when these wear out. Great Shoes!

I love these shoes.
I have tried practically every brand of tennis shoes out there, and I always come back to Prince. The T9 shoes, in particular, are perfect for my foot. I have a somewhat wide foot am and prone to rolling my ankle (supinator). I tried the New Balance shoes that were for stability, but they didn't help. One of my local pros told me I looked like I was going to roll my ankle just standing there. I went with the Prince "Scream" mid shoes for a while and liked them a lot, but even they were not as stable for me as this shoe, which is actually advertised as a lightweight shoe, more than a stability shoe. Maybe the lighter weight makes me drag my feet less, who knows. Also, I have plantar fasciitis and these shoes are the best tennis shoes for my arches that I've ever had. I have somewhat low arches, but they require support. I find myself wanting to keep my shoes on after a match, whereas before I was always ready to take them off immediately. I have already bought another pair even though the ones I'm using still have plenty of life in them after five months of heavy use (2-3 times/week at least). I won't even think of switching to anything else as long as these are made!

Prince T9 Roadster review -
Thanks, Zappos, for including USEFUL information about this shoe. I have a C/D width foot, and literally every other tennis shoe I researched was described as suitable for narrow or medium feet.
This shoe fits me very well and performed nicely on the tennis court straight out of the box. No blisters, no break in time. I've played in the shoes 3 times and so far so good. Only complaint is the red dye bleeds onto socks and smears into the material of the shoe itself. I'd prefer black color choices, but big deal.
So far these shoes are greatly superior to K-Swiss. They provide good foot support, a cushioned feel, and make me stop worrying I'll trip if I run fast and brake hard. I don't think about my feet while playing tennis in these shoes, and that is a good thing.

Love these shoes -
Though this shoe is about a half size to big on me, it's the best one I’ve found in a long time. Has a nice wide toe box which I need. Plus it's very cool looking!

Roadster Great Shoe -
This shoe is lighter than the other Prince shoes. It has a very wide toe box. I ordered it a whole size bigger than my regular shoe size. I have tried on every Nike make there is and they are very small shoes, and they do not make a very wide toe box. The Roadster is what I have been looking for. Light weight and wide.
