Comments: I loved the Wilson Tour, and was disappointed when Wilson replaced it with the Tour II. I figured I'd give it a shot though, because the alternative was to find a whole different shoe. I've had many problems with shoes in the past - ranging from plantar fasciitis to toenail issues (even wearing a half size bigger shoe). After wearing the Tour II for 3 weeks, I've developed plantar fasciitis again, this time in my heel. This shoe has very little heel cushioning. I'm going to try insoles to see if that helps, because I really hate to waste $100!

Comments: My last 12 pairs of tennis shoes were the Tour 1s, I just tried playing in the and I completely agree with Kris from Tucson, because of the mesh and plastic this shoe provides zero stability. My toes, ankles and feet hurt and friend of mine said she stop playing in hers because of knee pain! I'm so disappointed that Wilson changed the design of the Tour 1. Bring back the Tour 1s please!

Comments: I bought these shoes after trying them on at my local tennis club. I thought they were very cute and read the online description about them, which said they were good. I was one the tennis team at my school also. When I got them I felt like my feet were inside of a very uncomfortable box. For two weeks I got terrible blisters on my feet. The shoes are durable, I have had them now for nine months, but every time I take them off my feet, they are wet and in pain, I do not recommend this shoe to anyone. I can't wait to get a new pair of sneakers now.

Comments: I am disappointed that Wilson took what was probably their best shoe ever (Tour I) and made changes that compromise the performance of the shoe. The plastic lace eyes do not hold the laces and it's a huge challenge to tighten the shoe properly. This allows the foot to slide around, NOT a good thing on the court. The old model fit like a driving glove! Also, with the plastic where it is, the upper breaks down quickly at the flex point, particularly laterally (due to the above looseness). Yes, they are comfy to walk around in. But please, Wilson, if it ain't broke, don't fix it!!

Comments: Love this shoe. I have used Wilson for the past 4 years and have been a fan of the ProStaff 1000 shoe. I bought these because of the looks, but my feet have never felt better. I wear a 9.0 and have a wide foot. I play 3-4 times weekly at the 4.0 level and need support as I play both singles and doubles. I am going to purchase at least 2 more pair because as usual I fear they will be discontinued soon.

Comments: These shoes are wonderful! I have orthodtics, and in the past have had a terrible time finding a shoe that they fit well into. My foot is very narrow and I do not have a problem with these. There is no break in time, and I like them so much that I have purchased two more pairs before they are discontinued. Very true to size and very breathable. I am also very hard on shoes (dragging my toe) and after 4 months of playing about 5 or 6 days a week there is no sign of wear.

Comments: I always wore Nike tennis shoes, but recently had my luggage lost on the way to a tennis vacation and bought a pair of Tour I Wilson shoes on sale to get me through until my shoes arrived. I could not believe how comfortable they were. I loved them the minute I stepped on the court. No break in time at all. They are light, but provide great support. With Nike, I often felt like I was walking on the court in socks after an hour of play. I have been wearing the Tour I, playing 5 times a week, for almost 6 months and they show no wear on the sole. I liked them so much that I tried to buy another pair before they quit making the Tour I, but could not find any in my size. I then bought the Tour II. I like it, too, but not quite as much as the Tour I because 1) the little plastic strips that hold the laces are harder to adjust. Why they changed to that deal, I will never know. 2) The Tour II is a little wider in the forefoot, and my foot is better in the Tour I. But for someone with a wide foot, the Tour II would be great. I am a Wilson fan and will not go back to Nike.

Comments: I love these shoes! I wore the Wilson Tour I shoes before these and have found the Tour II to be more comfortable because they are a tad wider in the forefoot. They still grip the heel nicely and require NO break in time. I wore the Tour I for about 6 months playing 3-4 times per week. Outsole lasts forever and they are a very stable shoe (no ankle rollovers). I also couldn't believe how many compliments I got on the Tour II's from both men and women. Everyone wanted to know what brand they were.

Comments: Recently, I have tried every shoe available from Adidas to K-Swiss to New Balance, and this one is by far the best! I hope Wilson keeps making these for a long time! Great fit in the forefoot and heel, true to size, very stable with great lateral support, medium in weight and not too bulky! No break-in period required! I play 3-4 times a week at 4.0 level.

Comments: I'm a 4.0 player, and I always bought Wilson shoes, but there is an elastic in both sides inside the shoe that makes it very uncomfortable.
