444 posts and these are your first tennis shoes?

If these are your first pair of tennis shoes, do not get them.

I would at least try them on somewhere first.

If yer gonna get the V6 then the black would be best for your first pair as they are 'softer' than the white material ones. I guess you won't die a horrible death buying a pair of tennis shoes, but these are very finicky shoes out of the box and require a break in period like no other shoes I've tried.

Not counting my 4 years old k swiss shoes inherited from my granpa, or some dunlop volleys

I tried my hitting parters vapors out today before our match and the felt pretty good, but then again they had been broken in and was a size bigger.

Get them if you know the correct size. They are great shoes. But, like any shoes, if the size isn't right you're gonna run into trouble.

I'm wearing some new balance running shoes right now that say 10 US size, but are a bit small.

This is the TW sizes right, is there anything i should know about sizes, i'm printing off some foot size charts to measure my foot now.

Go for it, especially if they're cheap. I love them and if you worn some that have been good, win win, no?

Sure.

I'm going to order them now, the black and white vapours look alot better then the red RF version which look abit cheap and tacky.

Pretty excited
