The problem with this shoe is that it is extremely low cut / low profile which gave a feeling of inadequate support ... almost as if your foot could slide out of the shoe when stepping at angle.

Sole a bit too grippy. Concerned may grab court too much.

These shoes would have been perfect except it was a little narrow on the inside. I loved the color and overall fit but couldn't compromise on the width. I'd still consider them medium width but they just didn't work with shape of my foot.

Usually wear 10-10.5 and ordered them in a 10.5. Looked like I was wearing men’s shoes, wide boats on my feet. Color was nice. Returned.

Perfect fit and balance helps you be nimble on the court moves. Great looks. Being a player on hard court, finding a pair of shoes that last is really tough. This one lasted more than 10 months while others gave up in 6 months. Overall the best pair so far.

The shoes are very comfy and look good too. Good cushioning at the heel. I went half size up and they fit perfectly.

These are great! Non-marking and white but still add a nice pop of color

Lovely colours and well built; however it's very tight especially on the toe even though I went half a size up. Unfortunately I had to return them

Bought these as a replacement for my old Defiant Speeds. They work well for platform tennis and pickleball. I play quite a lot and got longevity out of my old pair so I'm sticking with this style. The white design looks clean and good. My only gripe is my toe jams but that's happened with other tennis shoes too.

Didn't feel comfortable when on. A little tight but if I were to size up would be too big.

I thought I would give adidas a try for my tennis shoes but I found that this not a good shoe for me. It does not feel comfortable or supportive. Back to Wilson shoes for tennis!
