Hi all,
I'm getting back to tennis after a long injuries (herniated disk) and i need to find a nice shock absorbent yet stable shoes so i can limit the stress on my back.
Thank you and happy Easter!!!
agreed..... got my first pair of Barricade Boost last fall...and it's the best cushioned shoe I've ever tried on... my Vapor X got pushed to the bottom of the pile..Adaidas Barricade Boost, with gel inserts, is the most cushioning that I have found...
Wilson Rush Pro 3.0. Cushioning is really, really good. For me, this is the best shoe ever.Hi all,

these do not absorb shock ... or very little, at leastnike air zoom vapor x
If you are looking for cushioning avoid any shoe that uses speed in the name or the marketing. It basically means it’s lighter. There’s really only one place to reduce weight on a tennis shoe. Wanna guess where?Thanks n8dawg6 and Bluefan75!!!!
I saw on TW some Asics solution speed FF on sale. Is this the shoes you guys are talking about being very good cushioned? I'm confused, there are too many models!![]()
I tried the blue shields. Didn’t find them comfortable at all. IMO stiff and not as cushy as the Head Pro Revolt.Thanks Westboro and n8dawg6. I'm now getting curious about the Diadora Blueshield Fly. I have time before to pull the trigger and decide since here in WI weather really sucks!
However, it would be great to keep this tread going so other users could find some feed back regarding general shock absorbent/ cushioned shoes. What do you guys think?
Barricade boost has very good cushioning. They just tend to feel bulky.Thanks guys for your help!!
OK, I checked the sales that are going on now on TW and here is what I found:
wilson rush 2.5
some adidas barricade boost
nike air zoom vapor x
any good shoes here for me?
Thanks!!!!
6 months out of the SFX? That’s awesome. I only got a little more than 2 months out of them.I will echo WestboroChe on Head Pro Revolt. I went from Prince T22 (for me, they feel like bricks, no cushioning and unfor I've gone thru several
pairs of T22s), to Babolat SFX (several pairs of those). On WBC's recommendation, I'm on my first pair of Revolts and they are way way better than the
SFX for me. SFX barely lasted 6 months (average 1x a week), cushioning degrades as well as outsoles completely worn down. Still on my 1st pair of Revolt
for over 12 months, cushioning was amazing first few months, they're still good just not as good as new, but the outsoles are barely showing
signs of significant wear. Amazing shoes!!!

I've had the same injury, multiple times. I wore the Nike Vapor 9.5 the first time and the Asics Gel Court FF. Also recently had meniscus surgery. The Court FF's are fantastic shoes, light, cushioned, stable. I've heard good things about the Boost, Diadora and Wilson but haven't tried yet.Hi all,

this one and the zoom zero are sorta in their own league in terms of cushioningNB Fresh Foam Lav. Plush cushioning from heel to toe
24 play sessions from SFX3's? Wow that's not so hot. Mostly play hard courts?SFX barely lasted 6 months (average 1x a week), cushioning degrades as well as outsoles completely worn down. Still on my 1st pair of Revolt
I would also rec the Nike Zoom Zero, though I'm not sure on their durability. I have played in the following shoes recently:Thanks guys for your help!!

shoe fit is probably the most important feature. you can add an off the shelf insole like superfeet or sofsole for additional comfortHi all,
