I didn't use the shoe you mentioned, but I have had good luck with Mizuno Wave Exceed Tour 4 and Kswiss Hypercourt Supreme.

I think the Barricade courts that were released around that time fit very similarly with a little wider toebox. I have a brand new unused pair in size 9 if you are interested

I'm a 10.5, thank you though

Looking at the Mizuno and Kswiss's mentioned -- the medium arch worries me, I think I need a low arch

I tried the adidas SoleMatch Bounce which fit pretty well but unless the arch breaks in (?), I can't play in them

Also tried the gel resolution 8 ascics -- these are useable but not as comfortable as my one true love lol

Lets see how well I translate...are you saying you have flat feet and need a stability shoe with a slightly wider box than average?

lol funnily enough from doing research prior to creating this thread, I bought a pair of those and they arrive Monday

i feel they may be *too* wide but we'll see ~

Thanks

I played in the gels this morning for maybe the 4th or 5th time -- slightly too narrow and too rigid but more importantly i feel like a 1/2 step or 1/2+ step slow (& i'm a counterpunch/defensive ~4.0) and the heel slips more than i would like; they are usable tho, it was a good match... maybe my feet are on the wide side, tho that has never been my fit in non-tennis shoes

The slowness could be the lack of confidence as you are changing shoes...I found all of the newer shoes at one point seemed to go insanely narrow then are slowly switching back to reasonable. Nike has always been a bit narrow so I always assumed people were trying to copy Nike. Sometimes you can fix the width by going up a half size...
