New Balance's premium shoe for stability and durability, featuring Fresh Foam X in the midsole for a comfortable ride. This is the 2E Wide version.
Carrying on with the high performance stability, durability, and comfort from the Lav series, this New Balance CT Rally 2E features an all new Fit Weave upper to improve the comfort, support, and fit. The tried and true Fresh Foam X midsole is ultra plush for those long matches full of grinding rallies. The structure of this shoe is inspired by rally cars, and the external frame is designed to maximize lateral stability and keep you feeling confident moving at full speed. A reinforced heel counter enhances the fit around the heel and ankle region, while the bottom of the shoe provides a high level of wear resistance on the gritty hard courts. The NDurance rubber provides good grip but also allows sliders to skid into their shots. Backed by a six-month NDurance outsole guarantee.

Customer Reviews
Not the best update from v1Positives: Break in was quick and material was flexible and breathable. Fresh foam provided great comfort and stability.
Negatives: The new outsole wasn't as durable as the V1 and is balding under the big toe in under 2 weeks of use. Another issue is heel slippage and the lack of the extra eyelet for a runner's knot.
Good tennis shoesGreat shoes for tennis practice.

New Rally CT V2I found the new Rally's very comfortable from the start. Great support around the feet and no slippage inside. The only negative is the soles wear down very quickly. I have had them less than 1 month and my left shoe front half tread is completely smooth bald and my right is about 25% intact.
Comfy, supportive and stableThe shoes are almost too supportive when I first put them on. I could a "bulge" on the outside of my midfoot. Once I started playing and pushing off hard, the support feels just right.
Re: Good cushion without vague soft feelingReviewing again as there have been developments. Despite my initial compliments on the fit and feel, I developed some moderate arch pain - a first for me. The pain coincided with a ramp up in court time so I was resistant to point at the shoe, but after switching back to an old pair of Lav V2s, and without ramping down court time, the pain has subsided. The CT Rally seemed to be the culprit.
After trying side by side with a critical eye (or foot), it seems the CT Rally lacks the same arch support as the Lav V2. I'm left disappointed and on the hunt for a new shoe.
Very comfortable, great supportI got this shoe because the reviews said it had good cushioning and support and it has definitely delivered. Great for my feet throughout long matches and I feel better afterward than I did with my previous shoes.
Good but not durableA little stiff, 2 hours or so out of the box, before break in and mold. Shoelaces need to be tightened very well without a runners knot otherwise there is some heel slippage. After 3 matches, shoes are excellent for quick movement even though not very light, they grab very well to the court and allow for very balanced sliding. 6-7 hours in, and there’s already considerable wear on the bottom sole, if you’re an aggressive mover and play frequently these won’t last more than 2-3 months.
A great updateLove this shoe. Great cushioning and arch support. Heel was slipping a little but a thicker Orlo sock solved that problem. Plus after a few wears I seemed to sink down into them. Also have Gel Res shoes I like but find myself reaching for these most of the time. Provides a plush sure footed feeling.
