Wanted to love them.When I first put them on, I loved them. They were extremely comfortable around the heel and I loved the cushioned tongue so I could tie my laces tight and it not be uncomfortable. The rocking was amazing for serving, and I loved the springy feel. Unfortunately after playing in them a few times, I developed tennis toe and my big toe nail had blood pooled underneath it and now is black. I really hope I don’t lose the nail. The shoes are short and hurt my toenails terribly. If I went up a half size they would be way too big and wide. I tied them tight and I still would slide into the hard toe box. I really wanted to love these shoes due to the comfort and style. Maybe they would break-in if I kept at them, but I don’t think it’s worth losing a toenail over.
Very comfortableI love these shoes. I bought the women’s gum bottom and never had to break them in, they were great out of the box. I loved them so much I bought the men’s black pair. I used to wear the GP Turbo until they replaced them with this shoe. They run true to size, you used to have to size up half a size but not anymore. Wish the men's version came with a gum sole.
Short stuff!Let me preface that, generally speaking, I love Nike and have worn them for many years as a racquetball and tennis player. So I decided to buy a new pair for pickleball. Buyers beware, these shoes do run short! I didn't think that I was going to be able to keep them but they seem to be breaking in and stretching a tiny bit. The first day that I wore them I was afraid for my toenails. Out of the box, these shoes are very stiff as well so I recommend wearing them around the house for a few days before you take them out on the court. Also, tie them well so that your foot doesn't slide forward into the shoe during quick stop and starts. On the up side, they are sharp looking and very supportive. The bottom of my feet hurt after I played in them the first couple of times. I expect that they'll last quite a while before breaking down so the $160 price tag will be worth it.
