Help me find a new pair of women’s wide-ish shoes

[Bustergee]

Hi all! I have feet with that are on the wide side of normal, but with skinny heels/ankles. I have been very happily wearing Babolat SFX-3 shoes for the last few years. They have unfortunately been discontinued and replaced with the SFX-4. The SFX-4 doesn’t fit right - it goes too high up the side of my ankle and digs in.

I next tried the K-Swiss Hypercourt Express 2 in wide. They’re ok - wide enough but I have heel slip even with lacing in a heel lock pattern, and they’re not super comfy for playing for long periods of time (I sometimes play for 4+ hours at a time).

Has anyone moved on from their SFX-3 to something else successfully? Any other recommendations?

Thanks!

New balance 1006/1007 could be what youre looking for. Not the most aesthetic shoes but definitely comfortable for wide feet. I think the coco shoes may come in 2E wide as well.

My wife has wide-ish feet. She used the Babolat Jet Mach III and now uses the Wilson Rush Pro 4.5. The RPs are now discontinued so now she's on the lookout again.

If she liked the Rush Pro, I just tried on the Wilson Intrigue Pro and it fits similarly to my old SFX-3. I really like the feel of them (at least just walking around my house). The only thing I’m unsure of is potential heel slip - they don’t have lace holes that will accommodate heel lock lacing.

Wilson Rush Pro 4.5

This is surprising as I found the men's version to be quite narrow fitting, even in wide. Same with the 996v6 wide.

Wilson Rush Pro Ace? I think that model is supposed to be a wider version of the Rush Pro x.x models.

Diadora Blushield speed Fly 4.

In case someone finds this thread later and is looking for the same thing, I ended up with the Wilson Intrigue Lite. Wide enough, lightweight but supportive. They feel a lot like the SFX-3.
