Comments: Very comfortable shoes, I could not believe how good these felt the first time I put them on. They have a lot of cushioning throughout, not just in the heel area like most shoes, but in the forefoot as well. The entire toebox is nicely padded and it fits like a glove. I found that the insoles they came with did not provide enough arch support for me, and, just like the previous reviewer said, shortly after I started wearing them I developed mild symptoms of plantar fasciitis. However, after replacing the insoles with a set of over-the-counter sport insoles with good arch support, all was good again. The midsole is soft and provides a lot of shock-absorption, in the heel as well as in the forefoot, much better than other shoes I tried. However it does not last long - in about 12 weeks most of that shock-absorption was gone. The outsole is a relatively soft rubber that provides excellent grip on hard courts, even in damp conditions. I never felt like I could slip with these shoes. Naturally the softer rubber wears out faster, but I think this outsole has a good balance between grip and durability. If you play a lot and move a lot, chances are you will wear out the outsole in less than 6 months. But then again, if you move a lot on court, you will probably not want to buy these shoes in the first place. That is because the upper is very soft and provides virtually no lateral support whatsoever. I could feel my foot stretching the upper and sliding past the edge of the sole every time I attempted a hard lateral stop. A very dangerous feeling. Bottom line is, these shoes are geared toward comfort, not performance. If you're an older guy playing mostly doubles and not moving around the court too much, you will love these. But if you want a performance tennis shoe, you might want to look at other brands.

Comments: I need to revise my previous thoughts on the Tour Vision dated 10/11. After playing tennis for 2.5 hours one afternoon in Mid-December, I went home and took a nap for about 90 minutes. When I woke up, I could not place any weight on my right foot. I saw a doctor the next day and he told me I had plantar fasciitis, and the cause was most likely the shoe. I am not claiming the Tour Vision is a bad shoe for all tennis players, but my wearing it caused a problem. I had never had plantar fasciitis before. I have switched to the New Balance 804s and I have had no fasciitis for the last three weeks.

Comments: This is the best shoe ever. I have only been wearing this since November but it is still the best really comfortable, great ankle support and they haven't worn out on me yet. BEST SHOE EVER, TRY IT!!!!
From: Matthew Kowalsishon, 1/12

Comments: I'm on my 4th pair of these and have no intention of switching. These are the only shoes I've found that don't hurt my feet in any way (I tried high end Asics, Prince and NB before this). They have a generous width and good padding and most importantly for me, there is no plastic strapping on the outer edge of the forefoot which always gives me bruises (Asics & Prince T22). They also last longer than the Asics and NB I tried. I get about 2 months out of them (I play A LOT) and use the 6 months warranty. I hope they don't stop making them because this is the one part of my tennis gear I never think about changing!

Comments:Worst tennis shoe I've owned. First time I have been unsatisfied with a pair of shoes(I've worn adidas Genius, Barricades, Nike Court Ballistecs and Global Courts). First time I've had a real problem with shoes. They were wide on my feet, wore out in 2 1/2 months and the last straw was when I was going for a tough ball I lunged trying to slide and the gel insert in the heel just fell out.
From: B. Davis, 12/11

Comments: I've worn them once so far. I was extremely pleased with the comfort and traction...fit was right on. I did roll my ankle once...first time that has happened in years. Just like one other person it was during a split step ... made me a little cautious the rest of the match and sore the next day. I hope it was a fluke and not the shoe.
From: Rondall. 11/11

Comments: This is a comfortable shoes. No break-in is required. I wear a 9D or medium and also wear Thorlo socks. They are not clunky and have enough cushion. A bit high off the ground but no problem moving in any direction. Lasted for about 8 months playing 3-4x weekly. Never had any foot related issues. I hope Wilson will make this shoe more breathable in the future. I purchased another Tour Vision.
From: Rey, 10/11

Comments: I just came back from the hard court and had a 2 hour match wearing these tennis shoes. I just took them out of the box and wore them. The shoe felt great, like a glove, very soft in the feet and the cushioning is great. I am 195 pounds and 6 feet tall. I am a 5.0 player and was playing against a 6.0 that is 25 years younger, so I put a lot of demand on the tennis shoes. I think general they are great with very good traction. my feet felt very good after the match. I was a Nike fan, but after this I sure will buy Wilson my next time.
From: David, 10/11

Comments: I have been playing tennis for just over 30 years and have used various models from Nike, adidas, New Balance, and Prince. This Wilson Tour Vision is one of the best shoes I have ever worn. Lots of comfort "right out of the box". I have had some heel pain over the past six months, and the Tour Vision is reducing the level of pain I experience after playing for 90 - 120 minutes. I highly recommend the Tour Vision to any player suffering from foot ailments.
From: Marc, 10/11

Comments: I just started playing tennis and I needed a tennis shoe. The Tour Vision's stood out not only are they very comfortable but they are light. They give you the ability to run from side to side on the baseline without holding you back, and they are very stylish and the shoes stand out.
From: Harold, 8/11

Comments: Spec's on this shoe are very accurate. So if you feel the description meets your needs then go for it. However, I have found these shoes do not allow your feet to breathe. The synthetic tops appear to have perforations, but they are only for looks. Wilson should do better than this.
From: David. 06/11

Comments: I tried on dozens of shoes before deciding on the Tour Vision. They are by far the most comfortable shoe out there (although KSwiss comes close). Support, and playability are both excellent. It could use additional ventilation as my feet are usually soaked after playing. Only complaint is the durability. I play twice a week, and the shoes just barely outlasted the 6 month soul warranty. Not bad, but I was hoping for more durability from a $100 shoe. Went out today determined to find a better shoe. Again, tried on about a dozen different shoes, but the Tour Vision was still the most comfortable. A little bummed as it appears they've discontinued the red/black model, as I'm not a big fan of all white shoes. Regardless, I'll buy another pair.
From: Rick. 6/11

Comments: These shoes do not breath. My feet are soaking wet after 2 hours of play and no other shoe has ever done that. If I wanted a casual recreational pair of tennis shoes then these may be OK. But I'm more of a "tennis player", so I'll avoid these.
From: David. 5/11

Comments: The right shoe was too tight around the front of the foot. It put so much pressure on big toe, the toenail was bruised. I cannot wear them anymore. They are not like the previous model they used to make. I am now trying to find another pair that is wider and open on the bottom for those hot summer days of tennis.
From: Steve, Aurora, CO, USA. 4/11

Comments: Best tennis shoe I have ever worn, period. No break-in required, no weird hot spots or creases digging into the top of your foot and very secure. Durability is excellent.
From: David, Parkland, FL, USA, 02/11

Comments: I ordered these they were large for my normal size, the craftsmanship wasn't there. The right shoe was shaped different; the materials weren't cut the same. Stick with adidas barricades you can't go wrong. These are def not worth the price. The support was very soft feeling, if you have delicate feet that need cushioning this could be a good shoe, Recommend for a 3.5 level player.
From: Anon, 02/11

Comments: The heel feels too high. There could be major risks for ankle injuries. Feels comfortable and looks nice but I would not play tennis with them.
From: Ted, San Jose, CA, USA, 02/11

Comments: This shoe felt great as soon as I put it on. However, on court I rolled it on the 1st split step. I was lucky. Had I been cutting quickly, I'm sure I would have sprained the ankle instead of just tweaking it. Looking at the shoe, it is both narrower in the sole base (platform) and has a higher heel to sole ratio than shoes I normally play in. (Gel Resolution, Prince T22) As much as I liked the aesthetics of this shoe and other attributes, I just can't play in it.
From: Steve, San Diego, CA, USA, 12/10

Comments: Great Shoe! It gets hot and humid in the midwest as the ATP tournament in Cincinnati indicates on TV year in and year out. I won the city tournament Columbus (men's open a few years ago and often get seeded today). Great shoe, I had no problems with any smell. The shoe is comfortable. Before I bought these shoes my feet and ankles use to hurt after hours of hitting and playing on the tennis court. I no longer have that problem. I am online to buy another pair after a year of tennis tournaments.
From: Myron. 12/10

Comments: Pretty good shoe, very comfortable, doesn't slip like my other Babolats great shoe!
From: Ian, 11/10

Comments: I tried these on a few times, and never purchased as I assumed "these are too comfortable to be legitimate tennis shoes". However, after incurring some serious foot maladies requiring minor surgery, I went back and tried them on one more time. My feet are pronated, low arches, and somewhat wide (above average but not EE width). I needed a shoe with the requisite width in the toe box, yet with adequate comfort. Walking to tennis the first night, I said to my wife "well, this shoe sure is comfortable WALKING", assuming the actual tennis would be a let down. After 2 hours of hard tennis, my bad foot was...shock...not in severe pain. I don't know what Reactive Gel is, and I don't care since the Wilson Tour Vision is comfortable, on a par with the Fila Alfa or perhaps even more comfortable than the Fila. The stability is very good, not as stiff as the Barricade V but lower to the ground and thus less chance of turning an ankle. The width in the toe box accommodates my wider feet. The arch is there, and is lower to medium (perfect for my foot as I generally come off the court with arch pain, and came off with none). The ONLY negative is, as others have said, this is not a cool shoe. The ventilation is not the greatest - not poor like the Fila Alfa, but not great like the Babolat Propulse 2. I would rate the ventilation as similar to the Adidas Barricade 6.0 - average. All in all, I have found my new shoe.
From: Anon, 09/10

Comments: Super comfortable, no break in period, light and fast. I love them, I usually use Nike which I always found to be tight and restricting. The tour vision fit like a glove.
From: Vincent, New York, NY, USA. 09/10

Comments: I've worn these shoes for a week now and love them. Almost no break in period and the rubber toe box is very easy on a couple of toe nails that other shoes have nearly ruined. I think the "hot" feeling mentioned above may be due to the fact that these shoes have a black rubber toe box and black uppers. I haven't noticed more heat in the feet, but I've been playing in slightly cooler conditions lately (mid to high eighties, cool for us in central valley of N. California in the summer). I will never skimp on shoes again and will wear only these.
From: Jerry, Lodi, CA, USA. 09/10

Comments: Awful awful shoe... I bought these because the Wilson tour 2 had been discontinued (love that shoe) these are way too loose around the mid section and have no stability. Buyer beware of glitz
From: Ari, Charlottesville, VA, USA, 08/10

Comments: These shoes are super comfortable with no break-in necessary. I do agree with the burning feeling after a hard match. My worst "beef" is that after about a month of playing 2-3 times a week, the outside of the forefoot wore down and I ended up falling down twice in a match. It's not even close to being able to send back on the warranty, but I can't play in them anymore unless I want a big orthopedic bill. Too bad for such an expensive shoe.
From: Val, Virginia. 6/10

Comments: I've worn Barricades for years and tried on a Tour Vision on one foot, Barricade 6 on the other. The Wilson felt better cushioning, lighter and more comfortable so I bought a pair. Right from the start of the first match in the Wilsons I felt like I was back on my heels and missing some initial acceleration, and I think the reason is the gel insert under the heel. Great for comfort and cushioning, but I'll sacrifice that for speed around the court any day. Into the 2nd set I also noticed the burned feet sensation commented on and maybe it's a symptom of having to work harder on footwork. Happy end to the story, I'm back to Barricades.
From: (The other) Pete, Mtn View, C. 5/10

Comments: I got these straight from Wilson. Normally, I wear Breathe Cage and love them. While they don't have ALL the cushioning of the Nike, they are very comfortable. The reactive gel either works very well, or I was brain-washed...LOL I've got 3 pair and they are very consistent. Honestly, I prefer the close-out Cages if for no other reason, but the price break. It is a very good shoe and a bit lighter than the Breathe Cage.
From: Jim, Peoria, IL, USA. 05/10

Comments: Wish I could agree with Danny, but no. After wearing the Open II (discontinued), these Visions felt heavy and tight in the toebox. They play fine but my feet are burning midway into the second set, no matter what combination of insert/sox I try. Comparable to a midrange, moderately priced New Balance.
From: Curtis, Honolulu. 4/10

Comments: Right out of the box these are the most comfortable tennis shoe I've ever put on. ZERO break-in required. Wore them from the store to the court and immediately played a 2 hour 4.5 doubles match. No problems at all. Stability felt great, cushioning is excellent, traction is superb. The real test came the next day in singles. Played a lengthy singles match the next morning, same story. Stability a big issue for me; I'm not a small guy. These shoes are light, very cushioned, and very stable. All three. I ran into my buddy who's a local pro, and he was wearing these new Tour Visions and said the exact same thing. This is my first pair of Wilson shoes in years...I'm hooked. I'm a big fan of new CB 2.3's, love Barricade V's, Propulse 2. I put a new Barricade on one foot, the Tour Vision on the other...and left with the Wilson.
