Hi all! I'm looking for a new pair of clay tennis shoes. I've been a long-time user of the Vapor 9.5/10s, and for a brief time when I couldn't find either I used the Head Sprint Pro 3.0. But none of those shoes are currently available in clay versions, so I'm not sure where to turn.
I have low-volume feet and skinny heels, so my biggest problem with shoes is usually my heels slipping out the back. I've slipped right out of shoes like Gel Resolutions, Solution Speeds, and Ubersonic 3s. Old vapors had tremendous lockdown and could keep me cinched in perfectly, and the Sprint Pros 3.0s were similar. I also love the low-to-the-ground feel on all of them. I see Sprint Pro 3.5 clay shoes out there, but the Tennis Warehouse review is pretty negative on their stability, so I'm not sure how to feel about them. I've also considered the Ubersonic 4.1s.
Any advice? Honestly, I'd love to find anything that feels like a Vapor 9.5/10 and has a clay sole on it. Failing that, I'll take any clay shoe with great heel lockdown.
