4.5
This is the 5th pair of these I’ve owned and they work perfectly. These are the only shoes I’ve found with the right toe box to fit my foot. I’ve purchased more expensive shoes but they always hurt my feet. Manufacturers have a way of changing things but keeping the same model name. These are exactly the same as they were five years ago.The 13 shoe fit my size medium width 11.5" feet. They are comfortableModel of the T22 in past years was extremely comfortable right out of the box. Current model purchased is tight in the toe box and seems much heavier that previous models. Can use this shoe for casual wear but too heavy/uncomfortable to play tennis.Fit great right out of the box. I have had two of this T22 model in the past, and two of the T22.5 lighter versions.Weight: I just weighed both models: The new T22 comes in at 462 grams (with laces) and my last T22.5 is 406 grams, so the T22 is about 14% heavier.It feels like the T22 has roughly the same padding and sole, but definitely provides more upper support with its stronger and thicker sides. All I know is that it feels very comfortable to my slightly wide 10.5 feet.I have been wearing the T-22 for many years for both tennis and platform tennis. What I especially like is the support I feel especially when changing direction quickly. They are also very durable. I often recommend this shoe to friends.It's an average shoes that I use for Pickleball. It requires a longer break in period.I liked the look of the shoes so I gave them a few tests playing pickleball and tennis. But they were too uncomfortable to continue wearing. I experienced pain in the midfoot (outside), one heel and my knees. When swapped out with my old, worn tennis shoes, the pain disappeared. I tried re-lacing them to remove tension on forefoot, but it made little difference. I am returning the shoes and looking for another brand.This shoe is built for tennis and has the features to make it one of the best shoes on the market. This shoe should not be confused with the "light" version Prince T22.To start, it sole can be used on clay or hard courts. The shoe has a built-in anti-torsion device that controls foot, ankle, and knee stress. It has a slightly higher than normal heel height and a well-cushioned footbed that reduces Achilles strain and adds pronation support. This facilitates "being on your toes" and reduces loading to the Achilles tendon particularly when launching to a ball.The heel counter has added reinforcement and the strategically placed laces allow for individualized medial and lateral support to the degree you need it.This shoe is well designed to fit a wide variety of players especially all-court players, players with lower leg and knee issues, and those that want a well cushioned supportive shoe which is just about everyone that plays tennis.Bought this for my hubby as a Christmas present. He is very pleased with this shoes as he has a flat foot and he gets a good arch support.He’s only used the Adidas Barricade before, but he doesn’t like the newer models: design, colors, patterns; so he is happy with the Prince.SUPER COMFORTThe shoes were delivered faster than expected. I already owned a pair and these were identical. Good price too.Just what I wanted. Arrived before Xmas the due date.Je rachète ce modèle depuis 5ans
