Ha, I just won the same exact style on the bay yesterday. Can't wait to wear them around and try them out. Got a great deal on them.

I've got them but found them really uncomfortable, went back to barricades straight away!

Yep - Those are my running shoes. Probably the most comfortable shoes I own and I would play tennis in them but the soles would get destroyed in less than a month.

I wouldn't have bought them if I didn't get them cheap. Worth a try for me I guess. As long as I get some wear out of them, even if it's for non-tennis, I'm satisfied.

Just got a pair of the blue Vapor 8s. Not a bad price either - on sale at £59.99. Used the White V7s on the clay in Spain, and they were really good. Lightweight and comfortable which was perfect for the clay, and durability wasn't a problem so they held up well. Just breaking the V8s in now, and found them quite a bit stiffer than the older 7s; found the upper is similar to the V6s, although they are wider than the 6s. My 2.3s are wearing surprisingly quickly, and have several 'bald spots' after only roughly 15 hours. But they should be ok for a while longer.

they can be quite sticky.. I have known the one guy for many years so know him well and get most my stuff there. Just go and ask for graham (he is quite a nice guy) .. just say a mate said he had some shoes on special... .. and on another note.. there is a guy upstairs who does stringing (harry) who is the best in JHB.
