Plz help me find huge tennis shoes

[bigfoot]

I need some help finding huge tennis shoes that work for me. I usually wear a size 15 shoe and no tennis stores around me stock them -- and I'm tired of having to return online orders or wear shoes that don't fit. I wore Lotto Raptors for a while and really loved them but the largest size I could find online was 14 and eventually my feet couldn't handle the banging anymore. I most recently bought a pair of Asics FF3s because I found them at TW in a 15. But they feel way too narrow for my feet and now I'm pretty sure that I have a hairline fracture at the base of my pinky toe from the constant pressure and contact from changing direction and sliding.

I'm a tall (6'4''), aggressive, all-court player and need something that can handle my style without constantly punishing my pinky toes. My exact measurements are 32.5cm (12.8in) long and 12.5cm (4.9in) at the widest part of my foot, where my big toe and pinky toe bases line up.

Does anyone have any recommendations for high-performance tennis shoes that can accommodate that sort of sizing? Thank you!

Have you tried playing in basketball shoes? Serious suggestion here. The sizing is bigger and Leylah Fernandez wears Puma Stewies.

Hmm...I haven't tried that! But it makes sense. I'll look into the options there a bit. Thanks.

New Balance has a number of models in size 15 and widths of 2E and 4E, and while you may not have a good tennis store near you might have a Dick's where you could try some of their other athletic shoes to see if they fit, then order from TW.

Google is your friend. ‘very large tennis shoes’ came up with at least four online tennis shoe places that go from 14-20 in a variety of widths. They’re standard tennis shoe brands. Having TW order them could be a problem if you need to return. I would order from those other places that carry them.

I am a thrift shop shopper in a college town. I am always finding really large shoes
(13-16 basketball shoes) that I wish would fit me. Tennis shoes, not so much.
If you live in or near a college town, you might take a look. For $12.00 or
so you might find something nice.

Fellow big man here. 6'5" and, depending on the brand/shoe, I can be a 15, 15 2E, or a 16.

My go-to is always New Balance. They're the only company that consistently has size 15+ and wide (2E or even 4E) sizes available. I'm not usually too picky on the specific model, I just don't go for the cheapest ones because I don't trust they're as good.

That said, I just bought a pair of Fila Speedserves a few weeks ago and they're surprisingly wide, even without coming in a wide size. The 15s were barely long enough though, probably would have been better off with a 16 even though I don't think they come in a 16, haha.

That's helpful, thanks. How would you compare the Fila Speedserves to your last pair of NBs?

Width of the Fila Speedserves is similar to a 2E New Balance. Filas are lighter. New balance had better cushioning.
