I'm suffering from plantar fasciitis and I need the most padded hard court shoe out there. I currently use Prince T22s however they seem to have lost their cushion after about a year. I'd love some feed back...
Thanks,

Yonex are rather famous for cushioning, so I'd suggest checking out their shoes.

On the other hand, I'm going off topic here, I don't believe that padding is really the solution to PF. You can check the health forum for arguments about how to deal with PF there.

Thanks... it's both the shoe and resting my foot. I'm in need of new kicks anyway, so I'd rather give myself the best chance of avoiding further foot pain going into a match.

Just tried the new T22 lites... they seem to have little to no padding with our without an insole. They seem hard as a rock, however they fit my foot comfortably minus the bottom cushioning.
 
They lost their cushion after a year....hmm, hope you didn't expect to play in them for another year, lol. I don't play tennis every day, but no shoe would ever last
me a full year if I play at least 5 hours a week.

Anyhow, T22 Lites have very thin insoles compared to the standard T22's. If you like the shoe otherwise, having after market insole would make things much better
or just go the standard T22's route.
 
1 year LOL. I am happy if my premium shoes with insoles last 4 months. Unless you are playing twice a month shoes are not going to last that long. Losing tread and settling of the cushioning= harsh on your joints and tendons.

Thanks for all the input. Just to be clear, I'm not expecting a year out of any shoe, however I'm looking for continued plush feeling for at least 6 months. I only play several times a month. You can't ask for more than that.

Yonex Pro Cushion are the softest I have tried, Lotto Raptor and Asics Gel resolution 4,5 and 6 are also very stable and comfortable.

Nike Lunars Ballistec 1.5 with Dr Scholl's active insoles (or similar).

My PF went away with stretching last year, but at the time I couldn't play, nor walk in anything else but in the previous Nike Air CourtBallistecs 4.3 with the same insoles.

I would seriously consider the new New Balance RevLite shoes they are super plush and cushiony and lighter. Good luck hope this info helps.

And it's perfectly normal. Even if you don't dig a hole in your shoes, you still have to change them regularly. Anyway, Yonex.

Have you gone to a Podiatrist? I went through every insole available till I finally got fitted with orthotics..it made a world of difference.

Any shoes out there with a seemless "booty" on the inside? Just tried the Asics Gel Res 6s and the seems were killing my outer toes and had terrible rubbing on top of my foot.

I can't wear any asics, because the thread from the asics logo always rubs against my bunion and bunionette.

I wear adidas barricade boost.

Try theYonex Power Cushion Pro. There is a separate thread discussing that. But that series has some really good cushioning.
