| JohnLin's Full Review: Wilson eXtreme 3 |
I agree in the point made where the fit of the shoe is nice. For some reason, despite its physical dimensions, I feel that this shoe is made slightly wider than the other big name tennis shoes (i.e. Nike). However, these shoes are not for everyone. When playing tennis, the gigantic outsole built for durability causes the player's foot to sit higher above the ground ultimately causing a player's foot roll under normal lateral motion. Furthermore, it is one of the heaviest shoes on the market. If you are looking for lightweight shoes, Addidas shoes may not be as durable as Wilson, but it is definitely one of the lightest shoes made and one of the more flexible ones to give you a better feel for the court. After using these shoes for several months, I began experiencing shin splints. Seeking professional help, the doctor pulled out my flattened insoles and simply told me that I needed better support in my shoes. After replacing the insoles, I've never had a problem with shin splints since.
Overall, I can confidently claim that there durable shoes. However it is lacking in terms of weight, lateral support, and cushioning.
