[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My 14 year old son said these sneakers make his feet feel "compacted" in a good way. I said "stable and secure" and he said yes! His ankles feel supported, they don't slip on the court and they are comfortable. The only reason I gave it a 4 out of 5 is because the podiatrist said the arch falls in the wrong place for orthodic users, which my son is.
