Best Tennis Shoes of 2019

This year has been full of great new shoe releases. Our playtesters picked their favorites and tell you why they love them.

Asics Court FF 2

The Court FF 2's transformed strong upper, mono-sock construction and Twistruss midfoot piece make this shoe perfect for aggressive side-to-side movers who are in search of a light, comfortable shoe.

Our Thoughts:

"Simply the best tennis shoe I've worn. Right now there's nothing that can match the combination of speed and support I feel when I wear them. I always feel like I'm moving at my best when wearing the Court FF 2s."

Chris - TW Playtester

"Love these shoes because they offer a little bit of everything in terms of support, cushioning and speed! They allow me to feel super confident moving aggressively on the court and have become my go-to shoes. They keep me feeling quick and connected to the court -- plus, they look great and feel quick!"

KSwiss Ultrashot 2

This update has kept the same KSwiss winning formula but now with Surgelite, a light midsole that allows you to spring around the court without having to worry about loss of stability. The Ultrashot 2 is ideal for players looking for cushioning and great traction on all surfaces. Plus, it comes with a six-month outsole guarantee!

Our Thoughts:

"The Ultrashot 2s are a great fit for my wider feet, and they deliver all-around performance. They're comfortable underfoot and provide all the support and stability I need. I liked the first version, and the Ultrashot 2s are a great update."

Tiffani - TW Playtester

"There were some solid shoes this year, but my favorite shoe of 2019 is the KSwiss Ultrashot 2. The comfort and durability are amazing! I also feel very locked in with these shoes and can move with maximum aggression. I would recommend these shoes to any player who is out on the court for hours on end!"

adidas SoleMatch Bounce

Style and performance come together with the SoleMatch Bounce. Bounce cushioning in the midsole creates a high level of comfort for even the longest of days. The outer layers of mesh create a trendy look along with increased breathability.

Our Thoughts:

"The Bounce material in the midsole is really plush but at the same time, responsive. It fits a bit wider, especially in the forefoot, so the fit was ideal for me. Stability and support was there and I liked the traction being a nice blend of grip and give."

Yonex PC Fusion Rev 3

Comfort is key with the Rev 3. The new full bootie construction creates a glove-like fit for a natural moving experience. The signature Power Cushion midsole gives an unmatched plush feel with remarkable shock absorption . Avid players who are looking for a roomy fit with comfort; this is the shoe for you.

Our Thoughts:

"The off-center lacing and full-bootie construction make me feel extra secure, and the responsive cushioning helps with quick changes of direction. For my next match, these are the shoes I'll step on the court with!"

New Balance Fresh Foam Lav

Designed with Milos Raonic, the Lav’s playability and design truly make it one of a kind. Kinetic Stitching locks in your foot to create extra stability in all the right places. Not only that, but the new Fresh Foam underfoot also creates the optimal blend of responsiveness and comfort.

Our Thoughts:

"The New Balance Fresh Foam Lav was released at the beginning of the year, and more than halfway through 2019 there hasn't been anything better for me. The knit bootie construction hugs my feet like a glove, and the Fresh Foam cushioning underfoot feels very plush and responsive. Comfort, support and backed by a six-month outsole durability guarantee, what else could I ask for?!"
