A high performance tennis shoe that blends comfort, support, and a stable ride. Co-created with the Swiss legend himself, Roger Federer.
ON enters the high performance tennis footwear market with the ON The Roger Pro, a design influenced by Roger Federer himself! These shoes are built for the player who can hit all the shots and embodies nimble, balanced movement on the court.

The upper features Engineered Mesh for enhanced breathability and a supportive fit, while the outsole rubber supplies a blend of durability, traction and tread catered to those who slide on the gritty hard courts.

Not comfortableToo stiff, no cushion, not responsive!
No supportThis shoe feels like you’re walking on plywood. There is no cushion, comfort, or support. For the price, I expected a much better quality shoe. Had to return.
Worth to go for it, for now.Honestly I love and believe the original is better; but it’s not practical due to pricey and lack of durability. Thus I would go for the previous version of Solution Speed FF 2 for training. Use Roger Pro just to celebrate some occasions.
I bought this version 2 six months ago. It’s as hard as the version one but much more narrower. But it’s easier to tie up. I found the performance is unbeatable and I don’t have to worry about replace just after 6 hours of use.
It’s not a comfortable shoe but it’s reliable and makes anyone run smoothly on court. Looking around, all latest version of shoes had cut materials here and there but this one isn’t. Every place is adequate with generous amount of material. It is expensive but it didn’t cut corners. I can’t use Solution Speed FF 3 due narrower upper and various parts of changes. The more you roll back of generations from any brand, it’s more solid build the longer you look back. So, for now, it’s a better shoes on the market.
Could be expensive and goodCould be expensive and good, but there are expensive and not good. They don't live up to the performance expectations—especially at this price point.
I purchased them for my son, a junior pro player, as an alternative to the Yonex Eclipsion shoes he’s been wearing consistently for the past two years. While these shoes are undeniably eye-catching and made with high-quality materials, their performance was disappointing.
On court, they felt clunky, overly stiff, and restrictive. They’re quite heavy and make lateral movement and forward running difficult due to their lack of flexibility. The carbon plate seems excessively rigid, preventing natural foot movement.
Despite giving them a fair chance, my son ultimately refused to wear them—they simply didn’t improve with time or break in.
These shoes might work better for recreational players who prioritize looks over performance, but they’re not ideal for serious competitive play.
Roger ProThe Roger Pro is a very wide shoe so either buy half a size down in men's, or buy a size to a size and a half up in women's. I chose to go a size and a half size up in women's and it fits perfect. I have narrow feet, so it fit better. The performance is phenomenal! Great performance does come with a sacrifice and that is comfort. It is hard on the feet. Know what you're looking for. If you want peak performance, the stiffness actually gives you a high energy return and will make you feel quicker. If you want more comfort, opt for the Roger Pro 2.

No durability, lack of cushion in sole.Comfortable shoes compared to ASICS and adidas but the durability is one of the worst for the bottom. The marks were easily worn out, which was very sad to see when I don’t even slide. For a $200 pair of shoes, this wasn’t what I would expect. Hope they improve this right away.
Good support, lacks comfort, too expensiveLow to ground feel with good support. But for me, this show lacks the cushioning to make it through an hour on the hard courts without foot soreness. At $199 the cost-benefit ratio is poor.
Wore through in less than three monthsThese are easily the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn. However, they completely wore through in a little over two months. Considering this along with the price point, I won't be purchasing them again. If ON addressed this, I'd possibly reconsider.
Great look, but wear thick socks...I like these shoes and have been using them exclusively on indoor hard courts.
Pros: They look great and they provide very solid support via the upper and paving system. I find them very responsive and I move around the court well.
Cons: They sometimes hurt the balls of my feet. They start to get sore 30 minutes in and by 45 I can’t wait to get these off. I started to wear an extra cushioned sock and that has helped but I wish I would have gone a half size up.
I’ll wear these out but wouldn’t recommend or purchase again.
Great for Wide Feet!I have wide feet 2E and nothing fits as comfortably as these shoes. I haven’t observed issues with durability as others have mentioned but I’m also currently averaging a few hours a week of use. I wish the price were a bit lower but unless I find another light, low to the ground, feeling shoe that accommodates wide feet this is my go to tennis shoe.
