Loudest shoe in terms of squeaking on court?

[LiamMiguel]

Just a light-hearted post, wanted to see what was the loudest shoe. I'd say in my experience, anything New Balance or Asics Court FF 2 and GR8 have been the loudest I've worn. The Ultrashot 2 was a close second.

Ultrashot 2 is pretty noisy, I agree.

 

[Orion]

Asics GR8 has my vote for loudest ever!

 

[lim]

Another vote for GR8 but the outsoles are easily some of the best performing out there

 

[struggle]

Whatever Azarenka is wearing, of course.

My 4 pairs of gr8 have zero squeaking

my hypercourt supremes are pretty loud despite having several hours on them. i think most of the TW playtesters expressed preference for quieter shoes, but tbh i like loud shoes, they give me feedback on how my feet are moving. diadora 4 AG were also pretty loud, but got quieter as they wore down

I thought that it is just new soles that are grippy that make shoes squeak more. Are there some other design features that might impact squeaking?

I mean that is true but shoes like GR8 are like screeching on court while a shoe like Ubersonic 3 doesn’t make a noise.

Mizuno Exceed Wave 4s are very loud and squeaky.

 

[Donuts & Deadlifts]

Court FF2's are some of the loudest shoes I've worn

 

[NastyWinners]

Literally any ASICS shoe I have had were as squeaky as a basketball shoe.

 

[tlsmikey]

Asics Speed FF's are pretty loud as well.

 

[ArliHawk]

New barricades are pretty squeaky.

Oh, goody, since I just bought a pair this week & plan to play in them this weekend.

(I'm always explaining to new players "if you're not squeaking you're not doing footwork ...")

New barricades are pretty squeaky.

That’s an understatement.

 

[ArliHawk]

That’s an understatement.

Have to say I like the new Barricades though and I’m a big Nike guy.

 

[Margomael]

Although discontinued… Nike Air Zoom Prestige. One of my hitting partners has them and they squeak since day one quite loudly

 

[GreenClay]

Ubersonic 4

 

[Shaolin]

Anything Nishikori wears.

 

[AceyMan]

Well,

I just wore my new pair of ASICS Solution Speed FF2 on court for the first time tonight and they were more vocal than a Siamese cat, so add those to the list.

[Arak]

Asics GR8 definitely

 

[n8dawg6]

my blue wilson rush pro 3.0s were the loudest i ever used. almost embarrassing. “pardon. sorry.”

 

[innoVAShaun]

My Diadora Blushield Torneos are very squeaky. Sounds like I'm at an NBA game.

 

[jmacdaununder2]

Nike ZVC4s don't squeak at all - I play on grass and clay.

 

[LiamMiguel]

Update: Got Barricades and they are crazy loud like what???

 

[ey039524]

Mizuno Exceed Wave 5s are my loudest I've ever played so far.
