I don't know much about court shoes but first thing I noticed after how stunning they look is that they are very solid and have a lot more weight than my running shoes. I feel well grounded in them. The materials are top notch. I adore how it has a transparent mesh that allows the laces loop's straps to "shine through". The pictures don't do the shoe full justice. I also love how the "tongue" is not separate. It's one with the opening for your foot and even my wide foot had no problem getting in the shoe! This design feature is a first for me - and alleviatea the tongue moving sideways as you move/walk. I ordered a size 5 (I'm usually a 6 in Sneakers) and it fits just right - so definitely do consider sizing down. I have played twice and no slipping, feels supportive on the ankles and secure. The online shopping process was a breeze and the delivery came fast! Ordered on the weekend and had it delivered by Wednesday. It took me several weeks to take the plunge and buy these, but I'm so glad I did!
