Comments: For quality assurance we tested several pairs of the T-9's and did not recognize a change in fit or comfort level of the shoe. To the best of our knowledge this shoe remains unchanged.

Comments: Love these shoes! I wore Prince Flashpoints for years until I couldn't find them any more. (I'm pretty sure I bought the last box of new Flashpoint 10.0s on Earth.) These are even better. Fit perfectly right out of the box. Played 4 sets and a tiebreaker the first day in perfect comfort. And my favorite thing about them is they are easy-on, easy-off -- they fit snug when laced but go on easy and come right off when you undo the laces. I don't know how many times I've cramped up after a match while bent down trying to wrestle tennis shoes off my feet. I bought two pair and since I play 5-6 times a week I'm looking forward to blowing out Prince's warranty on the first pair within 6 months.

Comments: I have owned several pairs of the T9 over the years and was thrilled to see them available again, but after wearing the new pair around the house for less than 2 days, my feet were killing me! The most uncomfortable shoe I've ever worn. They are on the way back.
From: Murray Macdonald, Seaside, CA, U.S. 10/09

Comments: I'm on my third pair of these shoes. They are relatively light, stable, durable and have room for wider feet, however, this last pair doesn't seem to be quite as long as the other two pairs I had, as I am having issues with the toe nail on my left big toe....
From: Rich, Atlanta, GA 09/09

Comments: I have very flat feet, so finding a shoe that fits me is always difficult. I'd never bought shoes without trying them on first, but all the reviews made it sound like this shoe would work for me. Well, I'm getting another pair of these as a backup while they're still being sold! They fit great and have a lot of support and reasonable cushion, important to me at 47 and with less-than-superior knees. I also have a medium-wide forefoot; not too wide, but I can't wear a narrow shoe. I was a bit worried that the T9 would be TOO wide from the descriptions, but it has a snug fit for me.
From: Rod, Weaverville, NC USA. 9/09

Comments: I've used T9's for almost 4 years - that's about 9 pairs for me with no problems. Always loved them until I bought a couple of pairs with the new, gray color in the upper, they are just as comfortable but for some reason they make my feet smell really bad ! Is there some different material in these?
From: Mike, Kerrville, Texas, USA 08/09

Comments: Nice lightweight, durable shoes and really nice color. I used this shoe for 1 and half year and the toe durability is nice some treads are coming off, but I used it for a long time. For some reason the lace tore off.
From: Sandy, Grand Blanc, Mi 07/09

Comments: I'm on my third pair. The rumor is that they are being discontinued; sad day for me. I have other shoes, but these are by far my favorites. Everyone has different feet and needs, but these shoes have been by far the best I've ever worn. They last about 9 months when they are my primary shoe. I'm a big, 210lb, on a size 14 foot, and these do my nicely protecting the joints of an old man. I think I found and purchased the last pair of 14's on earth. Wish I could have obtained a few more pair.
From: Kurt, L.A., CA, USA, 07/09

Comments: The first time playing in them felt great. The foot comfort was outstanding. After a month of playing the cushion seemed to go flat and I broke through the sides of both shoes. After that it was all downhill, I have broken through both sides of both shoes and the slits are now progressing towards the heel. The factory does supply a sole warranty but does not cover any other damage to the shoe walls. What good are soles without shoe walls. Not recommended for aggressive lateral players.
From: Clifton, Littleton, North Carolina. 7/09

Comments: Great shoes, they were extremely comfortable even right out of the box, my only complaint is the durability was lacking but over all an 8 out of 10.
From: Anon. 5/09

Comments: I have a very wide foot, my normal shoe is a 14 4E, and the t-9's work well for me. Before I purchased these I used the OC-1's. The OC-1's were ok, I struggled in all of my matches and couldn't seem to play to my full potential with them. I got the T9 roadsters the day of a private lesson. Something just seamed to click with these shoes, I immediately started to dominate every group lesson and excelled every time I got on to the court. GET THESE SHOES, THEY ARE AMAZING!!!
From: Jeff, Virginia. 04/09

Comments: Best shoes I've worn in 30 years since Stan Smith Adidas. Comfortable, light and with solid support. I'm in the process of ordering two more pair. Hope they continue to make product.
From: john, holland, mi, usa. 9/08

Comments: I agree with the high school player remarks. Lots of good comments, but I have negative ones as well. I just bought mine and the fit is terrible. Sliding, blisters very stiff shoes so far. I have only played once, but I will give a follow up in several weeks. Almost forgot, the left shoe fits better then the right.
From: Scott, Sedona, AZ, USA. 9/08

Comments: I play 2-3 times a week on hard court and am packing 200 lbs. I've been a Prince shoe user for many years--these shoes do not disappoint--great comfort, wear, good support.
From: george, purlear, nc. 8/08

Comments: If you have wide feet, these are the shoes for you. Great fit, ultra light, superb cushioning. And did I mention that they look cool? Definitely gonna buy another pair of these.
From: Son, GA, USA. 6/08

Comments: I am a big guy - pushing 260 lbs- and I run like a mad man on the court. With that in mind, I was worried that these shoes would give out rather quickly. I have been playing with them 3 times a week for about 5 hours for the last 4 months. I must say that I am impressed with the way they hold up. But one should keep in mind that I do not wear these except for when I am on the tennis court. Right out of the box, they were golden (well..red actually). I tear through Nikes, KSwiss, and Wilson, and so far am the most happy with these. I have a medium to wide foot and the open toe box was great. The cushioning is not the best in the world, but I like to feel the court and not bounce off the court. These shoes help me hug the court. My only complaint is the color. I would have preferred something a bit more neutral. In any case, I just ordered a 2nd pair from TW last week!

Comments: These shoes are terrible. I'm seeing all these good reviews, and I'm astounded. I had these shoes for a month before I completely wore out the outsole. I was through to the foam on both shoes and on both the inside and outside of both feet. I was so dismayed that I chose not to send this shoe in for the guarantee because it was so bad. I'm a very competitive tournament player, and I play 1 singles for my high school team. I would never recommend these shoes to anyone.
From: Nick. 5/08

Comments: I hurt my foot last year because I skimped on shoes, I went Prince for the support even though I think a shoe is a shoe for the most part and hate paying inflated prices. I got this shoe for the name, support and price. I am a workhorse on the court, I am a fast big man who is hard on shoes and I always play hard court. Comfort support and durability and I give these an A+ across the board. Not to mention the flashy colors let your opponent know you are not insecure with your game and you can make strong choices. They are fine on clay as well.
From: Michael, Lake Norman, NC, USA, 11/07

Comments: A good shoe for players with wide feet, but it has poor ventilation. My feet were sliding all over, and I even changed to those moisture wicking socks from Adidas and Under Armour but with no luck. The cushioning is OK. The plus for me is that they are lighter than the New Balance 701s I was using. However, I probably will go back to the NBs.
From: GS, West Des Moines, Iowa, USA. 11/07

Comments: The T-9 Roadsters are great, I love these shoes. I used to wear the Prince Scream shoes and loved them as well, but when I put on the T-9 Roadster, my feet fell in love, they are light and comfortable. I have wide and flat feet and playing at 4.5 level, I am always on my feet running down balls. These shoes are great for my feet and they do last long.
From: Howie, San Francisco, CA, USA, 10/07

Comments: Great Shoe! I drag my toe really bad and tear up shoes quickly. These shoes have held up. There was no break in time either. They felt great right out of the box. Very lightweight.
From: Jamie, Winston-Sale, NC, USA, 07/07

Comments: Excellent shoes. My feet are a little wide and these shoes fit great. Even though they are considered a lightweight shoe they are quite stable.
From: Chris, Baltimore, MD, USA, 06/07

Comments: Great shoes. I'm on my second pair. Lightweight enough. Cushioned enough. Toe box is a little roomy but lacing them down does the trick. I play 4x week and it feels great. I'm a 4.0-4.5 player. The only question is durability. You'll wear them out inside more than outside. After they wear down a bit (about 2 months) it seems that the arches are lower and it tend to push me back on my heels a bit. But overall I recommend these shoes as combo lightweight/cushioned shoe for wide feet players looking for a game day shoe.
From: Vinh, San Francisco, CA, USA. 5/07

Comments: Nice shoes! I have had them for 4 months. I'm an older guy who needs good cushioning on the legs and knees. I play 3-4 times a week on the LA hard courts and the shoes have held up well. I have no complaints, nice stability, traction, comfortable, and they seem to be quite durable. They work for me. I wish I had purchased a second pair, as they appear to be out of production and I wear a hard to find 14.
From: Kurt, Los Angeles, CA. 4/07

Comments: I recently purchased these tennis shoes and so far , I am very satisfied with them. I love the bouncy feel with each step. The shoes are light and hold up very well under playing conditions. I have about four other pairs of Prince tennis shoes, and they are still usable after years of use. This shoe will not disappoint you.
From: Anon. 4/07

Comments: I'm a competitive player and I play 2-3 times a week on hard courts. I bought these shoes for the outsole and they worked great. However the stitches on the toe of the shoe quickly unraveled and I now I have a 1 1/2 inch slit were you can see my toe. It�s only been one month of have having these. So it�s a great shoe but it doesn't have the durability needed for my kind of play.
From: Jake, Duluth, MN, USA, 02/07

Comments: This is a great shoe that is durable. I play intense tennis about ten hours a week and these lasted me about five months. They are very comfortable and lightweight. They suit my playing style of playing behind the baseline
From: Jake, Miami, FL, USA, 02/07

Comments: Play 10-14 hrs a week, I�m hooked-great shoes-very comfortable and handling my toe drag very well-black and red look cool too.
From: Ron, Charleston, SC, USA, 12/06

Comments: I have these shoes and have had them for a good long time now. I used to go through my tennis shoes every so many weeks due to my high school practices and after school and weekend lessons. After I got these and discovered how durable and comfortable they actually are, I�m hooked!
From: Sean, Redondo, CA, USA. 10/06

Comments: These are good shoes but the outsole guarantee doesn�t live up to my expectations. I�m the #1 singles player at my high school and I wore through these in about one month. I wore through a pair of barricade fours in three and a half months. The T9s are still a very good shoe it's just that they aren�t that durable. I much prefer the barricade fours.
From: Nick, USA. 9/06

Comments: This shoe is outstanding. For the past two years or so, I used the Adidas Barricade III, which was a great shoe, but I still looked for something better out there. After trying several other shoes, this is the one. It has all the aspects of a great tennis shoe. They are very comfortable as they took me about a day or two to break in. Also they are extremely durable. As of now, I have played in these shoes over 30 hours and the rubber has just started to change color. They are also very lightweight, around 14 ounces, one thing the Barricade didn't have along with the comfort. Last, it's a great value. $80 for a great shoe and it comes with the 6-month guarantee. So basically I'm getting each pair at $40! I would recommend this shoe to anyone since it has everything any tennis player is looking for.
From: Seth, Kansas City, MO USA 09/06

Comments: I used to wear the Scream QT's for years--even though the soles would wear out extremely fast. They were extremely comfortable. After a 2nd metatarsal toe dislocation while serving (probably in part from the very soft toe box these provide), I needed to switch to a different shoe. After much research and fittings, I chose the T9s. I have bought 2 pairs of the T9s now and been very happy with their tough soles, comfort, lightweight, comfortable shoe box and much better styling. I agree the insoles are very inferior and hope this is corrected in the future. I play approximately 8 hours a week, am a 4.5 player, and my expectations have been far exceeded with this new addition to the Prince shoe line.
From: Bob, Skaneateles, NY, USA 08/06

Comments: Great Shoes! I was a long time wearer of the Viper II's and was terribly disappointed in the Viper III so I switched to the NB 752 for a few months. I have wide feet with high arches and these shoes fit very well. There are lightweight and very supportive. They feel like an extension of my feet.
From: Andy, Conshohocken, PA 08/06

Comments: I have tried NB 820, KSwiss Glaciator and other lightweight shoes and these are by far the best. Excellent cushioning, good arch support, durability is good, not great. But overall this is the best lightweight shoe available.
From: Bob, Los Angeles, USA 07/06

Comments: Very comfortable shoes. Great for wide feet. Built rock solid. I had the same problem as Bryan from Atlanta, it turned pink near the lace grommets. I�ve never had that happen in any shoes that I've worn in my life.
From: Rick, Seattle, WA 05/06

Comments: Great shoe. Very comfortable. Great fit if you have wide feet like mine. This shoe is built solid as a rock, I don�t think there�s a chance I will wear it out before the six-month warranty expires. I doubt anyone here can wear this shoe out in 6 months. Try it on, you will fall in love with it and buy a pair.
From: Rick, Seattle WA 05/06

Comments: Great cushioning, weight, support and, as I have found out, durability. These fit my weird feet perfectly. I've probably put about 60 hours of actual play into these and the only wear I've seen is around the toe. I'm also a pretty heavy toe dragger, so that could be why. For my pair, the break-in put some pressure on the bottom of the outside of my small toes but that went away once they were completely broken in (after about 20 hours of wear). The Viper 2s turned my feet soft, so I would have liked a little more cushioning in the T9, but they're still very comfortable and worth the buy. They would be perfect if Prince used the insole with the heel and forefoot padding that was in the Viper 2. I have not thought of them as clunky, but nothing is after using the Viper 2. Nor have I experienced the forefoot problems that others have. As a note, the red on the tongue is colorfast, so it will turn the white close to the lace grommets a little pink. That's a cosmetic thing, and I could care less about looks. However, the good thing is that the tongue doesn't suffer from that weird ankle creep that the Viper 2s did. You get a pair of white and black laces with the black pair, so you get a replacement pair if one should break. I'm buying several pairs of these before they're discontinued.
From: Bryan, Atlanta, GA, USA 05/06

Comments: Prince does it again! I wore these T9's for the first time yesterday to play 3 sets, 4.0 level, and my feet felt great! A half hour later, I was asked to fill in for some mixed doubles and played another 3 sets. What a test for new shoes and I am amazed! These shoes felt light on my feet the whole day. My feet felt perfect at the end of the day so there was no break in time needed. A light weight, comfortable shoe with the stability I need for my ankles.
From: J, Salinas, CA, USA 04/06

Comments: I switched from new balance to the t9 due to a 2nd metatarsal problem. My problem felt better right away. I have wide E width feet and these feel very comfortable. Better ride than New Balance. I will not go back to New Balance.
From: Larry, Indian Wells, CA.,USA 04/06

Comments:I am 6'2" 270lb, I have wider feet and a low arch. I typically wear lighter weight New Balance tennis shoes but after my New Balance 820's split a seam and were not in stock for a quick replacement I decided to give the T-9's a try, and I could not be happier. They only took 1 set to break in, they are very stable, relatively light weight (about 14oz), have room for wider feet, have good support, and my heel doesn't slip out of them when making a quick dash. I can't comment on durability yet because I only have the shoes about a month, but if the durability holds out I will be wearing Prince shoes from now on.
From: Rich, Atlanta, GA 04/06

Comments: I usually wear Diadora Speedzone or Adidas Barricade II, I find that they are the best shoes for fast hard courts and wide forefeet. I liked the look of these Prince shoes and will usually try out anything that offers an outsole guarantee, as I wear through shoes in record time. So far so good. The arch support is low but the sole is quite thick, so I feel a tad taller in these. They are sort of "boxy", but comfy for my wide feet, and the support is adequate. I'd buy them again!
From: Damon, Burlington, VT, USA 04/06

Comments: Took a flier and tried these shoes without the benefit of fitting them in a store. Was looking for a bit more cushion compared to my NB 1001. Very happy with the cushion, but agree with some of the reviewers who said they had lots of foot movement in the toe box. I may try a 1/2 size smaller next time so I don't have to crank down on the laces so much.
From: Greg, Medford, OR, USA 02/06

Comments: I�ve tried these shoes and I think they're really good. They fit my wide feet, which is helpful because I usually have to stretch shoes as I go along. They are very light compared with the K-Swiss I had before, but I found that on clay courts they don�t allow me to slide very well. Sliding on clay is a big part of the way I cover the tennis court.
From: Jack, Leeds, Yorkshire, England. 2/06

Comments: These shoes are so comfortable. I love them they give me so much support and comfort in the toe and heel. Sometimes when im playing a hard match i dont even feel like im wearing shoes because these are so comfortable.
From: Wesley Waybright
Saint Albans, WV 02/25/06

Comments: I tried these shoes. They fit well, but are kind of clunky. They really don't move like a lighter weight shoe.
From: Mike, Vernon Hills, IL, USA 12/05

Comments: Best shoes I've ever worn, period. Have been playing tennis for about 45 years. Very cushioned and wide enough in the toe box for my E width foot. The mesh is perfect for hot humid climates like Florida.
