I'm reviewing 3 pairs that I currently have in rotation.
I have somewhat narrow-medium feet and lowish arch. I'm very light (under 100pounds) and play competitive single 5-6times/week, so I'm looking for light, breathability, and durability.
For socks, I only wear one pair which is made of coolmax and have padded heels and soles. They're not as thick as Thorlo (which I don't like) but thicker than your normal dress socks. They're light hiking/walking socks.
My previous all time favorite shoes were Babolat Lady's Team 3, which were extremely light, low to the ground, narrowish w/ adequate toebox, and somewhat durable. I bought 4 of those and wore them to the ground.

Asics Gel Resolution 3: My favorite out of the 3l. I like these for the nice design and color and roomy toebox, but still fit narrow feet. They look very streamlined on my feet which I love. Cushion, stability and durability are the best out of these 3. The only dislike I have is that they don't feel as low to the ground (due to a lot of cushion). After the first half hour of play, the gel sinks down a bit and mold to your feet so they don't feel as "high" anymore. However, initially, they do feel slightly "tall". I have the black/hot pink color. I wear these the most, but they have the least amount of wear, hence I conjecture that they'll be the most durable of the 3. You couldn't even tell I've worn them after 2.5 weeks. I wear size 7.
Babolat Propulse 3: I love these b/c they're like gloves once strapped down. Very secured. Your feet/toes won't hit the top of the shoes when you have to chase down balls. I also like the "low to ground" feel. Overall, they're very stable, durable and have medium cushion. However, I don't like the design and "bulky" look on my petite frame (5'3") and skinny legs. I wear size 7.
Barricade 6: RUNS LARGE. I like the fit overall and the low to the ground feel. Very similar to Babolat Propulse 3, but doesn't "mold" evenly on one of my arches and they don't feel very secured? I wear size 6.5. I have the London color.
