Oh no....Unboxed mine a few minutes ago. Photo
As far as fit goes, I wore Cage 4’s until I rolled my ankle and decided they were cursed so I chucked them. Replaced them with Fila Axilus 2 and I wear an ASO brace with them. All that to say my feet aren’t narrow but I do move around some in the Fila’s so use a second sock. So not narrow and not wide. The On‘s feel a little narrow to me and the part that touches the widest part of my left foot has a little pressure. I’d also say the arch is a little low, nothing that can’t be fixed with an insert. Not a wide ranging review but a couple points to get us started.

It will say out for delivery on the day they will arrive and you can actually see where they are on their journey to you with clicking view details and then clicking shipping progressSo..it was 10:30pm ET on July 9 and I still haven't received my pair yet. The UPS website still says "On The Way" which isn't an indication that they've even landed in my state yet. We'll see if they show up tomorrow.
Best of the bunch for sure. I really adored the Bicompax 001 and HMS 001 lines. They originally made me fall in love with Baltic. I just didn’t have the funds. And by the time I did, I was a few weeks late and they were discontinued. Still for me they’re one of the best looking watches I’ve seen.Green & Blue Bezel Aquascaphe?
Worst news one could have said.… same problem here…i hated vapor x due to the “inward tilt”. Loved asics speed ff 2 and court ff2 because had more cushioning and no inward tilt…My feet have some pronation and it was more noticable with the Vapor X’s - same thing with these. They feel like a Vapor X with a little more cushion. My uneducated opinion.
pretty sure rafa does the yacht thing. fed does more in africaI'm so glad Rog the great benefactor is allowing us mere mortals to play with his shoes for approximately the cost of 2 other fully functional pairs of tennis shoes (3 pairs if you get them on sale). I'm sure the proceeds will go to something worthwhile, like a yacht or something.

The pink "pork barrel" model is iut soon, along with a green "cash cow" modelLove On running shoes, but these need better color patterns......
Is that much of a surprise though considering that’s the shoe fed switched over from?Also, the fact that it's being described as being like the Vapor X is not a positive for me. That shoe did not work for me at all.
does it have some kind of magic plush cushioning ? that swiss magic tech ??Also, the fact that it's being described as being like the Vapor X is not a positive for me. That shoe did not work for me at all.

Looking at the reviews so far I don’t think it’s anywhere near as extreme as the tilt on the Vapor x, if any. From the pictures it doesn’t seem like it has any but of course it’s quite difficult to tell for sure before we personally get our hands on it.Yes. Because Fed's shoes are always custom so he was never wearing the retail Vapor X. I had no issue wearing the Vapor 9 and 9.5s and Federer was wearing those before the X (but of course he wasn't wearing retail 9 and 9.5s). A shoe that forces my ankles to roll inward to the same degree that the Xs did is not a good option for me.
Is it normal for shoes to have pronation like that? Seems extreme.

Disagree. then why is all the pros switched to Vapor proThe new Nike line of tennis shoes suck
I played about two hours in them today and loved them on my feet. They feel like a more comfortable Vapor 9/9.5 to me. Lately, I experienced foot pain after playing in Vapor Xs and switched over to the Vapor React NXTs which helped greatly. Very comfortable shoe. But the Rogers take that up a notch higher in my opinion. Even after the two hour session, my feet feel great with hardly any fatigue.
One observation, the tread pattern on the soles took some getting used to. They don't squeak on hard courts. It's more like a "swoosh" sound - no disrespect to Nike (haha). The grip was vague initially, too. Not that I ever felt like I was going to slide but I think the tread pattern needed a little break-in before I felt fully assured of my footing while running all around the court.
Bottom line: these are very good performance tennis shoes. And if you missed the Vapor 9s, then the Rogers are for you.
If I were you, I'd ask StaMford for money back!Disagree. then why is all the pros switched to Vapor pro
Shoe review from Zach the Foot Doc:
I will get another pair in September when they launch it. Will keep one that will never get played in like yours, and maybe another to play in. Feels weird to not get it on court at least once, you know?He and I seem to mostly agree. At least on the things I mentioned. Mine will probably never see a tennis court.

Assuming his knee will be okay, would like to think they’ll have a different colorway for the summer hard court swing? I could see white for Cincinnati again since that tournament is always hot as hell, but do something different for the US Open.Agreed but I'm going to need the price point to come down before I pick up another pair to actually play in..LOL! Also, they're going to have to come up with something other than a majority white upper. I think Fed has only played three different colorways and they've all been WHITE.

Come to think of it, he’s worn mostly white shoes the entire time since the 2019 ATP Finals. His AO 2020 Nike Vapor X’s were white, and even most of 2019 were mostly white. Switch it up, Fed!
Gotta think some sort of blue, black, or red is coming soon.
Will they even last for 10% time of the already non durable vapors?I played about two hours in them today and loved them on my feet. They feel like a more comfortable Vapor 9/9.5 to me.

I don't know how many since there's barely any volume out unless the September launch is huge.I would definitely appreciate these more and consider buying at least one more pair at the current price if another color were available immediately. They would still be walking around shoes though...Ha!
On a side note, I wonder how spectators will have these on at pro events this year. I'm a sneakerhead by nature so having these is more about my love shoes rather than being a pure Fedophile.
These fit pretty wide!!!I would love to try on a pair; do I even want to dream about these since my size is 11 4E in NB? I don't even have a shot in sizing, do I.
Are they comparable to NB? I gotta find these in a store to try on. No way can I risk it with my paddle boat feet.These fit pretty wide!!!
My experience was that they don’t. Use the Ff2s currently.Are they comparable to NB? I gotta find these in a store to try on. No way can I risk it with my paddle boat feet.

Unfortunately I can't help since I have not tried NB tennis shoes. What I can say is they feel wider than vapor X to me.Are they comparable to NB? I gotta find these in a store to try on. No way can I risk it with my paddle boat feet.
I was specifically thinking about the spectators who would have jumped on this early release event like some of us here on TTW did. I'm sure someone will be wearing a pair. I'm planning to be at the US Open this year so I'll keep my eyes open..LOL!
