Ankle soreness after switching to lighter, low to the ground Wilson Rush Pro?

[Raul_SJ]

Was using the Babolat Propulse III for years and just switched to the Wilson Rush Pro.

The Rush Pro is lighter and has lower to the ground feel. Played with the new Wilsons on Saturday and Sunday and it felt comfortable on the court.

Only thing is that I experience some minor low ankle soreness after playing with the new shoes. Never had this ankle soreness before.
And it's on both ankles, so i attribute it to the change in shoes.

Could the soreness be due to the adjustment to the new lighter, low to the ground Wilson's?

In a lot of new shoes, emphasis is on heel retention, so the distance from the heel sole to the top of the heel support is increased to hold your heel down.
Pull out your insert, see how thin it is. Adding a thicker one, or adding a arch to heel cup under the existing insert lifts the back of your foot up slightly, to clear the narrowness and height of the heel cup.
I do this on most of my shoes already, and it's really noticeable on my K-SwissBShot11's and AsicsGelSolSpeeds.

These shoes have a lower drop (heel-toe height differential) than your traditional tennis shoe. Perhaps your ankle soreness is due to that.

For me, sometimes the top lace loosens a bit as i play.

I would suggest this as well.

When I switched to a bare-foot style running shoe and ran with it, my feet were in agony after the first run or 2.
