In the winter months, I play on fast indoor carpet courts like these.

For the past two indoor seasons, I've played with specific carpet sole Nike Air Zoom Vapor 10's. These were fine but not great and are not going to last another full indoor season. I already knew there's hardly any carpet shoes choices left nowadays but when I was searching the internet this evening, I was pretty shocked at the lack of choices. Most online retailers have none or hardly any indoor carpet shoes. If they do, they're old models which are not in my size, or they're insanely ugly, or they're a very cheap model which I would destroy in no-time.

Luckily, I found a few options at one online retailers' website. These are the options I have:
1. Nike Air Zoom Vapor 10 (again but different colorway)
2. Asics Solution Speed FF
3. K-Swiss Express Light 2
4. Head Sprint Pro 2.5

I have no experience with option 2, 3 and 4. My feet are on the narrow side. For reference, the Vapor 10's fit me very well. It's a good thing I have the option to buy those again but if I could improve on them a bit, I'd like to. I'd especially like a bit more comfort.

Would any of the latter three options give me that or am I better off staying with the Vapor 10's?

Why you can't play with hard court sole tennis shoes in that court?
It's not impossible but hard court shoes outsoles have too much grip. Can get dangerous. The ideal outsole for these courts is a non-marking, completely smooth one. My club also requires us to wear those.

I have been wearing Asics Solution Speeds for years and I can really recommend you these ones.
At the moment I have the first version of the SS FF (clay version that I wear on artificial grass) that is a little more roomier than the FF v2 so I guess these ones 'll fit your feet well.
In fact, today I'll receive my new SS FF (allcourt version as I prefer these ones on clay. I am just not able to slide well enough with the clay version).
Probably you'll see them next Saturday in person.

I'll look into it. We'll discuss further this Saturday ;).
