Overview

Prince has evolved their most popular tennis shoe to make it lighter and faster-feeling than ever before! A new lightweight breathable mesh upper is softer and more comfortable while welded foot straps provide added lateral stability for aggressive movements. Prince's signature Shock Eraser midsole technology gives you cushioning under foot for all day comfort, and the durable rubber outsole continues to be backed by a six month durability guarantee. Revisit this classic shoe that's now even better suited for the modern game!

  • Upper: Breathable mesh upper offers lightweight comfort and breathability. Welded foot straps enhance lateral stability.
  • Midsole: Shock Eraser technology provides plush cushioning under foot for long lasting comfort and support. A TPU midfoot shank helps make the shoe more rigid to resist unwanted twisting during play.
  • Outsole: PRC 1000 rubber compound in a modified herringbone tread pattern provides traction and durability on any court surface. Backed by a six month outsole durability guarantee.
  • Color: Grey / Black / Red

Comments: Bad choice buying these shoes. Shoes are falling apart after the first try. The plastic straps on the sides tore and the outsole is separating. I am not sure if these defects are covered by the 6 month warranty.

Comments: Really good shoe! Excellent support and comfort, and you can't beat the price and warranty.
From:Glen, 10/29/19

Comments: I tried this shoe because of the great reviews on social media. However, this shoe has very little support and has "toe drag" issues (I like to touch it up with a permanent marker after every game). Also, the sole is separating from the upper after about 15 matches. I'm honestly disappointed with this prince product... I'm a 4.0 pickleball player and I'm 55.

Comments: My T22 Lites are comfortable and seem supportive enough, it's hard to compare to others since these are my only current tennis shoes. My reason for writing is my experience with the disappointing durability of the sole. I made it past the 6-month durability guarantee, but only barely and this is a full wear-through to the foam. I'm 51, a high-ish 3.5, and play no more than a couple of times a week.
From:Jaime, 6/20/19

Comments: I really like these shoes. I wanted a shoe with great cushioning, comfort, and ventilation, and this one delivers. Traction is also good. It's mostly mesh, so the sides give a lot on hard stops, but I never felt like I was going to roll over. I'm very happy with them.
From:Ben, 3/3/19

Comments: Tried out the Lite version of T22 and have to say I like them better than the regular T22. I do think they are lighter and more responsive. I am 60+ years old and need something to up my game against club players that play 4+ days a week. I love the Prince line of men's shoes! They run small, I regularly wear 8.5 or 42's, but have to wear size 10 in the Prince line.
From:Don, 11/8/18

Comments: I've tried a number of the low to the ground shoes from Asics, Babolat and Adidas the past few years. I have flat feet and they all have given me issues with support in the front foot. The T22 Lites are the 1st model in a long while that provide the cushioning I need. Exellent stability and firm fit; and no pain along the bottom of my feet. Highly recommend this shoe for those needing and extra cushy ride. I'm a 4.5 tournament and league player who plays 3-4 times a week.
From:Robert, 4/22/18

Comments: I am using this shoe for pickleball and find it gives good lateral suppport and wear on the hard surfaces. Would like to see height of shoe increased to give ankle area some additional support with lateral motion. The shoe breathes well and weight is reasonable.
From:DrZ, 3/28/18

Comments: I found that the new T22 Lites to be tight around the toes and less supportive than the older T22. They are a little lighter but the trade-off is not worth it for me. I found that the reason they are less supportive is the new insole is much less comfortable and cheaper quality than the older ones. When I removed the insole and put the insole from the older T22 , that helped. Anyway, I hope Prince continues to keep the older T22 model because I prefer that one much more than the new model.
From:Peter, 2/6/18

Comments: The T22 Lite is a solid shoe in my opinion. I have been playing tennis for over 35 years and have worn models from just about every tennis shoe company in the world. These shoes are a good investment. The T22 Lite shoe is a highly supportive and sturdy shoe. The shoes are slightly heavy, but they are not overly heavy. The T22 Lite model has sufficient area in all parts of the shoe for me. I will buy another pair when my current pair wears out. My current pair shows little wear after twenty plus tennis outings.
From:Marc, 4/5/17

Comments: I've been a longtime T22 fan and rotate between three pairs. The Lite just didn't work for me. Not enough room in the toe box -- they felt too tight. Another minor issue, I have a high instep and the combination of trying to keep them loose in the toe box and the high instep made the shoelaces too short. Returned the Lite and ordered the old reliable T22.
From:Joe, 3/31/17

Comments: Poor fit and poor arch support compared to the standard T22. I got a huge blister on my pinky toe and flare up of planter facitis in first two hour session.
From:Mark, 3/7/17

Comments: I switched to the T22 Lite from the regular T22. The new shoe brings the same narrow heel cup for stability, but a little more room in the front. Light and agile with a good grip on hard courts, they have held up for over 6 months of 3-4 times a week play. I'll be buying them again.
From:Jon, 2/27/17

Comments: The Prince T22 Lite is a great shoe. It is now my shoe of choice over the Nike Vapor. It is more comfortable and the tread seems to be holding up better. How can you go wrong with the 6 month warranty. The shoe is very roomy, but my feet do not slide inside the shoe. Great for all hard court surfaces.
From:Joe, 2/22/17

Comments: As a "senior" 4.0 Hartru player, foot comfort became precious when playing 5-6 times a week. The original Prince T22s were a bit too wide and clunky in the forefoot but oh how comfortable and had been my shoe of choice. Until the T22 Lite came out. The fit definitely is narrower in the forefoot, not a "narrow" shoe just normal width now. The sole is the same wonderful cushioning I need but the uppers are lighter, more conforming and flexible yet actually feel more supportive. The only slight negative is to lose some weight Prince replaced the thicker very cushioning insole with a much thinner and lighter one. A separate purchase of a Sofsole Athlete insert (about $18) to replace the new thin ones and it is now the perfect shoe. Just as cushioning but lighter and much better feeling overall. No wonder it was one of Tennis Magazine's best for 2016.
From:Eric, 6/16

Comments: I have a medium width foot with a somewhat narrow heel. This shoe has good cushioning and the uppers are nice and thick, so it is very comfortable. It is a wide and roomy shoe though. I feel like my foot moves quite a bit from side to side within the shoe no matter how I lace it. It has a sticky outsole plus slipping within the shoe has meant that I have semi-tripped or lost my footing a couple of times. But a great value cushioned shoe for anyone with a wider and thicker foot.
From:Wayne, 4/16

Comments: I recently purchased the T22 Lite, switching away from the Asics Gel Resolution (I had the GR 5). This shoe is very comfortable, stable with great support, terrific grip, and cushioned in the right places. I did not feel as though I was being slowed down by the shoe. The shoe just seems to have more to it than the Asics, which for me, works. They have a good arch support compared to other tennis shoes which I have worn. I am a 5.0 player with an all court game and movement is critical for me. These shoes do not hamper my movement at all.
From:Mark, 2/16

Comments: I actually like these a lot. I'm also coming from regular T22 and T10 before that. These do not feel as wide as the original T22 (wider versions). They feel a bit more like the T22 narrower version. Still, this shoe being much softer in the uppers, even in slightly narrower fit seems to be very comfortable on my feet. This became even more apparent after few hours of use, so slight break in is needed if you find them feeling a bit tighter than regular T22. I would say I do not have very wide feet, medium I suppose, but I did like the roominess of regular T22s, and these shoes are nowhere near as narrow as something like Barricades for example. I also wore the Babolat SFX -- a very nice comparable shoe to T22 Lite, also tried the KSwiss Bigshot 2.5 light, Didadora Speed V, and recently Asics GR6. GR6 has very nice uppers feel, but for my feet I think the T22 is best shoe to practice with, and the T22 lite is better if you want similar fit, comfort and stability but in bit lighter and faster form, ie. singles game day.
From:Henry, 2/16

Comments: I used to love the T9 Roadster and Prince replaced it with the T22. I had the old T22 that fit wide and later on they felt narrow. So I tried these and fit me well, plus no pinching on the side due to the plastic like the T22. Try it first -- you might like them. I tried a lot of shoes and these are not as soft as Asics Resolutions but are more stable and better for people with ankle problems like me.
From:Ed, 1/16

Comments: I tried them on also and I agree with John, they are not as comfortable as the original T22s.
From:Anonymous, 12/15

Comments: My normal shoe is the T22 Black which I love because it's very comfortable and fits wide-ish, not a 'pointed' type shoe like Nike, etc. I tried a pair of these T22 Lites on and they feel very lightweight, but, they're almost, but not as comfortable as the normal T22s. The big thing is that they didn't initially feel as wide as the regular T22. This being moot for those with narrower feet, but If you like them for the reason I do (being wider), then they will not have quite the same comfort levels! Also the insoles aren't as spongey. A good solid shoe, but they just don't seem to fit as wide? One last thought -- they may break-in and fit wider and softer after a few weeks and may become better than the original T22.
