Nike Vapor X
I wear usually Size 10's in the Vapor 9.5's. I got Size 10's again in the Vapor X & they are a bit tighter than the 9.5's. Have to wear thin performance socks & they are OK. Can't wear the thick, cushioned socks. If you are close to size, I would probably order 1/2 size up & get a bit more space & width.
I have wide feet... I wore size 11 in the 9.5s and fit perfectly. In the X, the same size was uncomfortably tight. I half-sized up, it was snug but fit much better. After about 30 minutes of court time, the shoe felt fine and I wear the Nike dri-fit cushioned socks which are not super thick but well-cushioned for playing 2+ hours on court.
Just got my Xs. Coming straight from the 9.5s I can first say that these leases are extremely short. Like, what the hell was Nike thinking?9.5’s laces were kind of long and got shaved up after a while but I definitely prefer those over the X’s. I’m really struggling to cinch down the tongue at all, something seems stuck. Does anyone have a solution?
I was wearing Vapors 9/9.5 in size 11 and the sizing was perfect, in every sense. Also, before that, all previous Vapors 8/7/6/5 were of the same size. Now, I got recently Vapors X (both BRED and Air Max models) in the same size. They both fit like a glove, but I cannot escape the feeling that 1/2 size up would be a perfect deal...
So, I completely agree with the Ace.

Probably between 20 - 30 hours singles on the X's now. Looking at the sole today - I just can't believe how much they have held up. Full tread pattern looking good. Wear zones look less plastic-y - like a softer rubber, but I'm amazed at how well they have held up thus far. They are not comfortable like previous iterations (no plushness here) but they are very solid for active play. Lock down on top probably best feature as far as playing goes. I hated these by the looks of them, but I'm glad to be wrong about this product.
@mpournaras, and again for emphasis, my KNEES are killing me! they were perfectly fine before the X's.
And this has to do with Vapor X's how exactly?

It was a joke on the original "probate" typo from Rabbit.
It wont be as light or stylish but the Asics Gel Resolutions seem to handle knee pain and pronation exceptionally well. It was an easy sale in my shop for most if not all customers who had it. The one issue was if your feet are super wide. But then we brought in the Gel Resolution "wide" and lapped them up too.

French Open Clay Vapor X
So after sending back my Cage 3s due to a crack on the sole, decided to try the Vapor X, went true to size, and they fit, feel, play like a dream.

@luke_1983uk.. Can I know the cause of crack of your Cage 3 ?
I read the other topic post , probably the factory flaw.. So far I decided to stay with my Vapor 9.5 Tour that I thought the best fit for my foot.

genuine no idea, but both shoes had it, and it was a thick crack, almost glass like, thought the cages were incredible until trying these on, personal preference but these top the 9.5's easily, in cages i went up a size i had too! these i dropped down to my normal size the same size as the 9.5's.
comfort wise these are untouchable! found myself wearing them more and more off court too!

Has anyone else had issues with overpronation with the Vapor X? I ordered a pair but ended up returning them because it felt like the sole was tilted toward the inner heel, causing my foot to roll inwards. It seems like a bizarre design from Nike...just wondering if this is something others have noticed, or if it's maybe just a fluke with the pair I received.
I think this is common in other tennis shoes, too.
