Need help- looking for most padded shoe for hardcourts

[donnayblack99]

I suffer from plantar fasciatis. I'm looking for the most padded hard court shoe on the market... would love some suggestions.

I'll qualify this by saying I'm not a podiatrist, but I would suggest shoes that also have good support to reduce the chance for plantar fasciitis. For shoes that offer good cushioning and support, I would check out the Asics Gel Resolutions, adidas Barricade BOOST or the Diadora Speed Star K VII. You might also want to check out the adidas Barricade Classic Bounce.

Thanks,
Tiffani, TW

Thanks! I recently tried the Prince T22 lites and they fit great but they didn't offer much of a comfy soft padding. I'm interested in what Chris or Andy has to say, as I too, am an ex-collegiate player who is very hard on their shoes and still plays tournaments.
Thanks Tiffani.

You're not? . Well, let's say you were a podiatrist, would you still be working at Tennis Warehouse? : )​

I double checked my credentials, and I'm still not board certified.

^haha......& to paraphrase Cole Porter:

I get no 'kicks' from foot pain,
Poor shoe sidewalls kill me beyond the pall.
So sell me some Vapors in blue,
'Cause I buy my 'kicks' from you too.

I get no kick from champagne.
Mere alcohol doesnt thrill me at all.
So tell me why should it be true
That I get a kick out of you?​

I got the Diadoras from you a few months ago and just this week the GR6. Both are very comfortable, well cushioned and stable, though I think the Asics are overall a better shoe.

My first pair of the Diadoras developed a creaking noise in one of the heels, but TW was great with providing a new pair (thanks!). There is no issue with the replacement shoes, so probably an isolated issue.

You cant go wrong with either.

Thanks Tiffani.

I'd have to reiterate the suggestions that Tiff provided, as those are all of our most cushioned shoes.

Thanks Andy. Just ordered a pair of Gel Res 6. Let's see if my feet agree with guys!

I wear the Asics Gel Resolutions and they're very comfy. I play on hard court and have had foot issues for years. Best shoes I've tried so far. I always put orthotics in my shoes but the stock insoles in the Resolutions work great.
