The Prince T22's are very cushened, but they are wider than most shoes. I wish they would made a T22, but a little narrower.

I like the Asics Gel resolution 2's myself. Very cusioned and not too wide like the T22's.

Vapors are good for comfort but the stand outs are vapor 7's and 1's.

What are you on about?

Vapor 7's are terrible, They are a sprained ankle waiting to happen.

The best Vapors are 5 and 6.

Easy.

What are you talking about? LL Vapor was probably the worst Vapor ever made! That crappy LunarLite foam goes dead after 1 month at the latest, and loses its cushioning! Totally unstable, and the list goes on and on.

To the OP - Vapor VI. Zoom Air cushioning can't be beat. Also very stable for all around support and even better cushioning.
But those can't be found anymore unless you hunt them down. Another great alternative is the Nike 2k10s or 2k11s. Based off the Vapor VI, but replaced Flywire with Drag-ON.

I like the Vapor 8s for cushioning... but it's only been a few weeks. And they've been great to me in every way.

The Yonex 307 feel really great. So far, I have just walked around in them, but they have really impressed me.

Your signature is dry. If you think it is funny because i said i have never worn the insoles of a babolat shoe before it means i have never worn out the insoles, Mr. Know it all.

By the way using the term marshmallow to define the cushioning of a shoe is just dry as well.

Get yourself a KSwiss Stabilor.

You put those shoes on you're good to play a tournament without worrying about breaking the shoes in. That's how soft and comfortable they are.

I could disagree about what you say and you would be angry because its my opinion in what shoe i think has good cushioning right. Your not going to get a golden star for the best opinion so just relax.

Asics gel challenger very comfortable right out of the box.
Great cushioning as well, and very light.

A couple of years ago i used to wear asics sport shoes for tennis and then once i bought adidas barricades it was so much better. Now asics have developed better court and running shoes. Are the ones you bought 80% court and 20% running. Thats a good combination for the perfect movement on court. They also have good designs.

I'm finding the Head Speed Pro to have excellent cushioning in the heel and forefoot without feeling "squishy". I sometimes feel pain under the ball of my left foot after a few sets but the last few matches with the Speed Pro (stock insoles) have been mostly pain-free. Check out the reviews here:
