Tried all the new Nike shoes at the shop today (NXT, Cage, and Vapor Pro) and they all feel like they were made for narrow feet. The Vapor X was perfect. Without that, what are some good recommendations to try on when I visit the shop again tomorrow? I don't know much about my feet other than they are wide and felt like the Vapor X was perfect.
I used Nike Vapor X because it fit my WIDE feet. Where to next?

Same here. Tough to replace.
I found the Adidas Solecourt Boost .5 size down was a good fit for me.

Seriously, try the Babolat SFX3. Or if you can get your hands on a pair, the ON Roger Pro. Quite a spread I know but I've tried them both (actually own the Roger Pros) and they have a real familiar Vapor X "feel" to them. My current court shoe is the Vapor React NXT - best fit for my wider feet and well cushioned.
Guy at the shop recommended Babolat SFX3 too, so those are definitely on my list to try. Nothing against the ON shoes (though I've heard they're not truly built for competitive tennis - could be wrong), but just impossible to find. And the Vapor React NXT ain't it. Tried it today.
The page I'm looking at for the Kswiss Hypercourt Supreme says the Hypercourt Express version is wider. Any opinion there?

I tried Babolat SFX3 but felt it was too easy to roll my ankle in them. Similarly KSwiss hyper court express. Hypercourt Supreme not quite as wide but more stable. I play in a pair of those at the moment. Deadora blueshield 5 are about the same width as HC supreme but not as stable. Adidas Solematch bounce not quite as comfortable as HC supreme. I just ordered a pair of Head Revolt Evo 2 to try. One can but hope. Others might not have the same stability issues as me. My feet/ankles tend to supinate.
I just find the Supreme a better feeling shoe and the width difference felt negligible or wasn't needed.

I am currently using Nike Vapor X Wide for hard courts and Nike Zoom Oscillates (one whole size up) for clay. I have wide, flat feet and use custom orthotics.
I am wearing Diadora Blushield Torneos for casual. They are well broken in and I have used them on clay and hard courts. I also have a pair of Babolat SFX3 that I use for the gym because they're pretty lightweight and have a lot of cushioning. My Torneos are next since my Vapor X Wides are on their last leg. My plan is to grab a pair for clay as well. I am willing to try the SFX3 in a half size smaller if I find them on clearance again.
Wanted to let everyone know I went up to the shop and tried on all the shoes recommended here. All were decent fits, the Diadora Blushield Torneo and the Head Revolt Pro 4s were perhaps too wide, but the Babolat SFX3 were the clear winner. It felt exactly like when I put the Vapor X on for the first time; just fits perfect and very comfortable.
Thanks all!
Thanks all!

I am currently wearing the New Balance 996 2E & man after wearing those vapors for a while, feels much better on my foot. Especially the ankle supports

Pics man pics!! everytime you get new stuff it is rude to not flaunt or show it off here especially after using the advice these other members provided.
Here on tt, it is the opposite of the real world (where showing off is shunned).
