Most Comfortable Tennis Shoes
No one wants their feet to hurt! There are so many aspects that factor into choosing shoes that are comfortable, from cushioning to fit. Our Tennis Warehouse playtesters wear test as many shoes as they can, and with their feedback we compile these lists. With their varied foot types, game styles and preferences, we picked these shoes as the best comfort tennis shoes of 2025. (Updated September 2025)
When considering comfortable tennis shoes, cushioning is just one factor. We think that how shoes fit your feet also play a role, so we've included our thoughts on whether the shoes run narrow, medium or wide to help guide you to the right comfort shoe for you.
Our Picks for the Most Comfortable Tennis Shoes
| Shoe | Fit Details |
| Mizuno Wave Enforce Tour 2 | Medium (Our women's team found these to run a half size short.) |
| KSwiss Hypercourt Express 2 | Medium (Wide models sometimes available) |
| adidas Avaluxe | Medium (Length is slightly long) |
| New Balance CT Rally 2 | Medium and Wide versions |
| Skechers Baseline Bully | Medium |
Mizuno Wave Enforce Tour 2
What we love: The first version of the Wave Enforce Tour was a hit with its impressive blend of a lightweight feel along with plenty of cushioning and stability. We're in the early stages of our testing of the Wave Enforce Tour 2s, but early indications are that the update picks up right where the first one left off in terms of comfort. The cushioning gets updated to the ENERZ NXT foam for a responsive feel, and the uppers feel light and pliable. Our women's playtest team found these shoes to run a bit short, and some of them opted to wear a half size larger than usual.
KSwiss Hypercourt Express 2
What we love: Released back in 2021, the Hypercourt Express 2 has gained a loyal following for its blend of comfort and lightweight feel. These shoes feel flexible without any break-in time and provide a cushioned ride on court. Although sometimes the wide versions are hard to find, Tennis Warehouse does carry those models as they become available in men's and women's sizing. Read the full review for the men's version and women's model.
adidas Avaluxe
What we love: Available only in women's sizing, the adidas Avaluxe (formerly called Stella Court) is a playtester favorite not only for its comfort, but also its all-around performance. Our playtesters have loved these shoes since they debuted more than five years ago under a different name. Then called the adidas Stella Barricade Boost, the shoes won us over for their all-around performance and top-notch comfort for a variety of foot types. The model was discontinued for a bit, but now it's back and called the adidas Stella Court. And judging by our customer reviews, we're not the only ones elated to see these shoes back in the adidas lineup.
New Balance CT Rally 2
What we love: This evolution of the CT Rally (and before that these shoes were called the Lav) keeps the ultra cushioned ride we have come to love. There's Fresh Foam X in the midsole, which delivers a comfortable yet responsive ride. The uppers of the CT Rally 2 have been updated for enhanced breathability. We did find these shoes require a bit of breaking in due to their substantial build.
Skechers Baseline Bully
What we love: Skechers is new to the tennis shoe game, although it had ventured previously into court shoes with a couple of pickleball offerings. The Baseline Bully is its flagship model, and true to Skechers' reputation, these shoes deliver top-notch comfort. These shoes were overall more popular with our men's testing team who praised the step-in comfort and overall playability. Although our women playtesters thought these shoes were comfortable, they found them to feel heavy on their feet.
