Hey Your name!^^^ Shirt I went with the XL tried the Large on.I'm buy no means a big guy but the large felt tight around the underarms.

I found no issues with the size,my usual 11 fits bang on.Low arch support,Wide in the Toebox.Under padded tongue ala 2k's.
enough padding in the ankles not as much as the 2.3's Low to the ground feel.Still giving them time to break in a bit.Might take em out Friday for a light knock.

Yonex should've made the material that protects your big toe alot more durable.I'll be shreddin a hole on hard stops in no time.Leather isn't going to suffice.I tell you, it's nice not to have a Uni-tongue.These badboys are light I'm sure i'll be at top speed.Haven't tested the Traction or Support yet but feels like they're not going to buckle like a cheap shoe.Ventilation looks good with the mesh Tongue and preforations that run along the side should allow the 307's to breathe well.The sole has some real nice deep grooves that look real beefy,I like that.
Do my best to give a more in depth mini review once i have at least 2 hrs on them.They are Stunning.Post back Sat Cheers

No, the yellow/black is for clay courts, TW just made a mistake in not putting the CL and the gold is for HC.
I am not sure about the results of playing with a clay shoes on HC, ask the Europeans they have the clay courts and HC and they may be able to tell you something.

Indeed! I wished they would do special deals for us recreational players, I'd buy a few racquets and a bag in a heartbeat.

I asked Yonex guys about that. Playing with clay shoes on hard courts. Only difference is that the Tread or dimples on clay shoes will wear OUT really quick on hard courts, they said. It is designed to grab the court on soft Clay courts but it will just wear out on hard courts. That is the only difference according to them.

Yonex should've made the material that protects your big toe alot more durable.I'll be shreddin a hole on hard stops in no time.Leather isn't going to suffice.I tell you, it's nice not to have a Uni-tongue.These badboys are light I'm sure i'll be at top speed.Haven't tested the Traction or Support yet but feels like they're not going to buckle like a cheap shoe.Ventilation looks good with the mesh Tongue and preforations that run along the side should allow the 307's to breathe well.The sole has some real nice deep grooves that look real beefy,I like that.

Hi 1st seed! I bought my first Yonex shoes today. Ive used Nike, Adidas, Prince, Asics and now Yonex. I hope they fit well, my feet are difficult to please. Hope to get the apparel later on! Thank you for the review!

Racquet Daddy · 03-11-2011, 03:09 PM

I like the build and the flash of the Yonex shoes, but I just can't drop over $100 on a shoe without a 6 month warranty. I'm on the court too much. Will the "smaller" brands, like Yonex & Diadora, jump on the warranty bandwagon?

Thanks for the info Fedace.
I am with the 307 Bluesilver and an old 306 red. For sure the next one will be the yellow ones.

Looser?? hard to understand , but It needs a break in and it may cause you some blisters, but after 4-6 hours it is the best.
