Too Much Traction? (Wilson Kaos Content)

[Pickleman]

I just got a new pair of Wilson Kaos 2.0 and from what I'm finding out the new Rush Pro 2.5, 3.0 has the same bottom. My problem is they don't slide enough for me, have to be playing super hard to get them to squeak. Will they break in and loosen up or will I snap off at the ankles. Can you recommend a sneak with less traction for hard court, I like to slide. Thanks

In my experience with the Rush Pro 3, the soles are soft and grippy. They will not help you slide. I’d suggest a hard soled shoes like the ASICS Gel Resolution.

Agree with @mhkeuns .The Rush Pros have some sticky outsoles, and they stay sticky. I'm not a big slider, but made it a point to for the most part refrain from it in the Rush Pros. It comes much more naturally in the Asics Gel Resolutions.

Thanks for responding. I've been looking at the Asics and I'm seeing allot of bad reviews and I've tried different models of Asics and they just don't fit the shape of my foot.

@Pickleman lots of bad reviews of the Asics Resolutions? Where? It's like one of the most well received shoes on the market.

Maybe not "lots" but enough to steer me away. Mosly about the narrow width and arch support in the wrong place. plus my stubby shape foot. They don't work for me. Wish I was more main stream average foot guy.

 

[mhkeuns]

Not sure where those bad reviews are coming from for the ASICS Gel Resolution. I have wide feet, and to me it’s the best and most durable shoes for hardcourt play if you don’t mind a little weight.

Good to know but not helpin' me.
