Customer Reviews
A 4 for tread life, otherwise 5 all around.This is a nice shoe for slightly wide feet. A few hours break-in at the most. Comfortable, not too bulky or long (many same size shoes run 0.5 inches longer) that might make you feel slower or sluggish on the court. Used primarily for singles play, this is a speedy shoe that is supportive, but not too bulky that you lose a feel for the court and that grippy feel you need when pivoting and changing direction. Only knock is that it doesn't last too long. 4 to 5 days a week of singles and it lasts me 2 months at the most.
