To put it another way, I've played a lot of tennis in my life and have played for a long time, and I've never wore a hole in a toe of a shoe. I've had a pair of Prince shoes that I've worn for probably around 400-500 hours of tennis without any signs of a hole near the toe.

Don't listen to me and buy the shoes then, just giving a warning.

I didn't say they are pristine they are beat up, just saying I don't drag toe.

Haha, that sounds like some sort of dirty thing to do "Drag toe"

For what it's worth - stability is also in the eye of the beholder. In my view the Cages have fantastic lateral stability, and the Vapors were useless, and made my ankles hurt. Everyone's foot is different.

It's not just toe dragging that causes the soles to get sanded down, any sudden stop or change in direction would damage your soles. I think he was just pointing out that you might be running rather than shuffling to the ball, which might be the reason why your shoes lasted 500 hours.

Does anyone feel like whenever youre running and you suddenly stop your toes get jammed up on the top of the shoe?

I bought this at a half size lower then what I usually wear and it just felt a little too tight for me. I wear a very thick sock, a level 3 thorlo sock and I think that had something to do with it. I ended up returning them. The aesthetics were nice and they offered quite a bit of padding but the size was just a little too small for me.

Then, the next half size larger would most likely fit perfectly.
