Can someone recommend some softer sole shoes for me? I got some from prince but their too hard on my feet. I need some shoes with soles kind of like running shoes so it's easier on my feet and a little wide cause i have wide feet.

kswiss is just an all around comfot shoe..

Preferably outsole like running shoes.

The problem with using soft outsoles on tennis shoes is that they'll wear out in no time especially if you play on hard courts. That's why most tennis shoes have tough and harder outsoles so that they'll last longer, especially the ones with the 6-month outsole warranties (or else the companies will be sending everyone free shoes).

You may want to try a clay court shoe as those are more likely to be made with a softer outsole since playing on clay doesn't wear out the outsoles nearly as quickly. Try taking a look at these, but I would avoid the ones with the outsole warranties since they have to make those soles harder to be able to offer the warranty.

Are you saying that the clay court shoes will be fine on hardcourt surface?

No, they will wear out faster. I'm saying the soles are probably softer, as that's what you're looing for, right? You can't have softer soles AND more durability. Such a magic compound does not exist. You have to choose one or the other.

I dont think you are looking for softer sole shoes but more cushioned shoes, because you said the prince are too hard on your feet.

One of the best cushioning and best value right now is the Reebok Match Day Pump, high end shoes for $49, can't beat that.
