NikeCourt Air Zoom Vapor Pro

I really am enjoying these sneakers for indoor tennis play! Light, comfortable and all around very nice. A bit pricey but otherwise great!

I first picked up a tennis racket when I was five years old, and by the time I was into my teens I had to accept the fact that I would never find tennis shoes that comfortably fit my feet, which are wide with a high instep. Throughout my adult life I have become reconciled to having huge hard blisters on the outsides of each of my big toes, and also to my shoes often becoming untied because the center of where the laces tie crosses the high point of my high instep. Last year I even went to the point of purchasing lace-free tennis shoes from another brand, which were an interesting experiment but had unique problems of their own. So naturally when I looked through the reviews of these shoes I was thrilled to read that they run wide and have the laces set slightly off to the side. Voila, I ordered a pair and I could not be happier. They fit perfectly (I am usually a 6.5 but the website said they run large and that a 6 would be right, and it is); they are light but buoyant, and the minute I put them on I knew I will never again have to deal with blisters or shoelace issues. In addition, for some reason, they feel spongy and scrunchy under my toes, which gives a good feeling of grip and connection. A big thanks to whoever came up with this innovative design! And the color selection is great too! (PS - I cannot yet grade for durability because I only just started wearing these shoes.)

Finding a good pair of shoes that support my feet hasn't been easy. Usually Nike shoes are much too narrow for my feet and pinch at the toe box, but the Air Zoom Pros are absolutely perfect! Lately, I have been playing every day (or close to it) for several hours a day. I know when I put these shoes on that I will be able to play without pain. I don't need the arch sleeves that I bought for previous shoes, either. I took these shoes with me when my team went to state championships where I played 3-4 hours for two days straight. My feet felt great, and I don't remember my feet feeling hot on the hard courts (I usually play on clay) in the middle of July. I have actually been wearing the Air Zoom Vapor Pros for after I am finished as well; they're *that* comfortable, and I usually hate wearing shoes that tie unless I'm playing! Thanks, Nike! I'll be ordering a second pair soon!!
