Hey mate
I've owned a pair for 2 weeks now and I play almost every day
for 2-3 hours. I must say they feel great on my feet. The
uppers are soft yes but are comfy and do not affect you on
court but it does give you a little more room than most shoes
(they are very breathable compared to other shoes and are a
huge improvement over the Propulse 2's). The insoles feel
great and very cushioned, they really mould to your feet. I
don't no much about the latest Gel-Resoltution 3 but I can say I
don't know how the insole could get any better. The arch
support is adequate (I have a medium to high arch foot) and
the only time my arch starts to ache is when I've been wearing
them for at least 8 hours, i.e playing tennis and then wearing
them for the rest of the day or vice-versa.
I thought I'd write a mini-review if you need it: I genuinely
feel I'm getting to the ball faster than I used to because of the
exact pro-pulser and the traction is superb along with the
durability. The cushioning in the heel is goodish with the new
kompressor technology, the only time my heel starts to aches
is when you stand around in doubles for a long time. Also, the
cushioning in the forefoot in't up to par although you don't
notice it until you land heavily (compared to Nike Coutballistec
2.3's). The straps on the shoe are very good but sometimes (I
don't know if it is the back-strap or just the shoe) your achilles
heel can feel quite painful and weak when worn for a couple of
hours, however, this only lasted for a week. The laces are far
too long and you have to tie them into a double or triple knot
to keep them from dangling on the ground but you still have to
be careful (I've already been careful but one time the laces
have snapped in half literally so the lace is about 15cm short
on one side because I trod on it). One last thing is that when
buying them go up a whole size because mine were
outrageously small when I ordered a 9.5 (UK Size, America =
UK +1) and I had to order a 10.5 which was perfect.
Hope it helps
