My experiences...
Comfort...tight / narrow
Durability: Not suitable for hard court...won't last. It's a solid clay court shoe.

Fit is pretty much medium to narrow, being narrow in the forefoot. If you don't have wide feet these should fit fine and they are true to size in length. I have an average type foot and actually double sock in these and it doesn't fee overly tight. Looks are love it/hate it, I happen to like rocking shoes with aggressive cosmetics all the time so these are on my short list of tennis shoes I love. Durability wise these are hella better then the Gel Res 3s, Vapors, 2K11s, and get this, the toe cap on the Feathers is holding up a little better then my Brricade 6s! The outsole, however, is another story when put up against the B6... Feathers are holding up very well but it's considerably more worn down then the B6s. Comfort is nice, they have a low riding feel a bit like a Vapor but with a better arch and more cushioning. Breakin isn't as bad as like the B6 and nowhere near the CB3.3, double socking actually got rid of any rubbing or pinching I felt and now I can wear a single pair of socks but prefer doubling up. Traction is crazy, the sole is borderline sticky OTB, these already feel fast at home on carpet and grass but drop em on the court and they make push offs and quick cuts feel GREAT! The way I move in these and the quick feel are why I went and got multiple pairs. The only thing I can knock these shoes on so far is stability, they are a little better then the Vapors but that's not saying much lol! Haven't rolled or sprained anything yet but my foot isn't locked in like it is in the CB or Barricade. Also (personal gripe) I can't seem to get a good slide in these :???: Getting better with time but it hasn't reached B6 status let alone Bigshot godplayer status!

I bought 7 pairsThey are that good for me. Narrow fit is just perfect. I don't care about durability so cannot comment on that.
All I wanted was a pair of shoes that took me more then 3 weeks to tear a hole in the front, I dont like looking at my toes before I serve lol!

Hahaha, fair enough!
In my case they just become too soft before they develop holes and I just replace them with a new pair I wear them, and I love them. I have narrow feet, and the width is perfect for me. I was looking for a performance shoe, and I think the Feathers were primarily designed for light weight, stability, and support.
They are stiffer than most shoes, but I'm willing to sacrifice a little comfort for performance. I use the Sof Sol Fit orthotic insoles. They fit the Feathers perfectly and seem to address some of the discomfort problems associated with this shoe.
The only thing I don't like is the lacing system. It makes it tough to tighten the front part of the shoe, so thank goodness these shoes are already tight up front!
I play on har-tru and I'm not a toe dragger, so I can't really comment too much on the durability. They seem to be about average durability, which is more than enough for my needs.
