I'm a daily tennis player, I wear Prince shoes, but they seem to be wearing out on my first matches cause of my feet ripping on the sides.
Are there any shoes recommended to wear for people with a wide and flat foot?
The Air Cages are not really wide. I have wide and flat feet, and I still had the small pains of breaking them in.Nike Air Max Cage. Really wide. Not for narrow feet at all.
I have such a wide and flat feet that I am forced to wear specific insoles. I don't even have a proper arch, wearing shoes without my insoles hurts. You should see the faced of my podiatrist, crapping his pants when he sees my feet on his mirror. It's priceless. :twisted: I still went one half size DOWN with both the retail and my orthopaedic insole INSIDE the shoe. They are much wider than your everyday shoe.The Air Cages are not really wide. I have wide and flat feet, and I still had the small pains of breaking them in.
Whats a good shoe thats bang for its buck?

I have the same issue, no arch. Luckily, my dad is a podiatrist. Its like God messed me up, then felt bad about it.
Lucky! What solution have your father come up with? I struggle with a lot of shoes because of this. What shoes do you use for tennis?
I have wide and flat feet too with pronation.
Prince T22's are the best shoes prince has to offer (also 6 month wear warranty)
Babolat SFX (also 6 month wear warranty)
If you can find some of these older nikes they are really good fit.

My feet have grown wide as I have gotten older. I also have a little arthritis on one of my big toes. I found the Asics Gel Resolution 3 good fit shoes. It was strange, the first match I wore them I got shin splints. They felt a little tight width wise. The second time I played with them they were great and I went through a couple GR3s until they were discontinued. The GR4s are narrower. The GR5 are similar to GR3 but maybe slightly narrower. I find the Yonex Power Cushion are similar to the GR5s. I bought the Babolat SFX and they are definitely wider than all of the above. I find them extremely comfortable and at pretty good price point (I got them for $79).I've been wearing T-22's exclusively since they came out. They work better than everything else I've tried for my wide forefoot and narrow heel.
I am curious about the Babolat SFX -- could you please do a comparison of both shoes? Thanks in advance.

I tried both of them on at my local pro shop at the suggestion of the owner.
They both felt good enough and wide enoungh that I made a note to keep them in mind the next time I need to buy some shoes. Also they were notable because their treads felt heavy duty and came with 6 month wear warranty.

As I've posted in other threads:
I'm on my 5th or 6th pairs of T22s and used to think they were all that (before that Barricades and some Nikes and before that many pairs of older Prince NFS) until I started having issues with them, after each session, the next day everything aches. Then I tried on a pair of MC4 and never had a single ache, by far the most cushioned shoes I've ever tried. Unfor they finally wore out and last night, reluctantly took out my last new pair of T22s and immediately felt like walking on bricks and the aches returned.
I've tried these shoes at my local shop:
Babolat Propulse 4
Babolat V Pro
Babolat SFX
Asics Gel Res 5
Nike CourtBallistic 4.3
Nike Vapor 9
By a huge margin, the SFX is the most cushioned of the above, more heel cushion then the rest but a country mile more forefoot cushion, it's not even close. If you want lightweight, low to the ground... ie speed shoes, then the SFX are not any of that. But if you want the most cushioning compared to those listed above, they're in a completely different class of cushioning.
I bought the SFX in the same size as my T22s and they are def way more roomier everywhere but esp the toebox. I got along w/ them fine but I can see how others rec to get them 1/2 a size smaller.
I typically wear size 13 in the last 2 Asic GR3s I bought. I ordered the SFX in 12.5 and 13 due to reading review to go 1/2 size down. I found the 12.5 just a little tight mainly in length, I possible could have broken them in some over a few matches to get them more comfortable. I went with the 13 and they have been comfortable from the start. I'm 225 lbs. and I don't think a couple extra ounces of shoe is a priority. For that matter I have been playing some of my best tennis and my shoes are 6-0 since I started wearing them..:grin:Thanks, man. No, low ride speed shoes are not a priority. I ordered the SFX last night from TW, in my regular size, so it will be interesting to see how they fit. I can always exchange for a half size smaller if I need to. I'll know tomorrow.
I used to get new balance EE
I have wide and flat feet and for the last 4 years have been in heaven with the asics revolution line
