7 Best Tennis Shoes for Wide Feet
Reviews for Men & Women

Now, we all know that Adidas tennis shoes are fantastic, right? Well, we should do, at least. We would recommend them for their quality alone. However, we are choosing the Adizero Ubersonic 3 as the best shoe for style. This is because the world of tennis is sorely lacking in shoes that are available in a variety of colors. It is normally the white and black colors only. We love that Adidas has shaken things up a little bit and given us a number of them to choose from. Anway, we digress.

Designed Specifically for The Tennis Court

The Adizero Ubersonic 3 is only a tennis shoe. They will perform terribly as running shoes. However, if you stick these on the feet of a tennis player, you will be darting around the court like a modern-day Tim Henman. Well, OK. It won’t turn you into a pro, but your game will improve drastically. This is all due to the awesome cushioning in the shoe, coupled with the fantastic support on either side of your foot. Versatility is a leading reason this pair tops our best tennis shoe list.

Low Profile & Durable

The only real downside to this pair of tennis shoes is that some people find that they are a little bit ‘hard’ on their feet. Not in terms of putting pressure, but some people are not used to a foam quite like this. It probably wouldn’t be too difficult to get used to them, but you may not be playing your best for the first couple of games that you wear them.

Specifications

For tennis players that are quick on their feet, play games with explosive reactions and dash around the court – excellent traction is paramount. The New Balance FuelCell 996V4 is going to be just the ticket. It is a perfect pair of shoes for that, actually.

Absolutely Killer Traction

The whole reason why this tennis shoe is so good when it comes to traction is due to the Ndurance (not a typo, we swear!) outer sole which has a sublime grip. This covers the full length of the shoe so, no matter where you land on your feet, you will have a ton of grip while you are on the tennis court.

The tennis shoe helps you to reach those longer shots in other ways too. This is all due to the cushioned foam in the sole of the shoe. This will help to propel you forward which, of course, will allow you to reach those tennis balls that may otherwise be too far for you to bother reaching. We told you, a proper pair of tennis shoes is always going to help any player raise their game.

Eslasticity & Support

These New Balance wide tennis shoes feel great on a wide foot too. There is still a little bit of ‘give’ on the shoe. So the feet of a tennis player will not feel as they are being squeezed in the wrong size shoe. It will actually feel like your feet are able to breathe easily.

If that wasn’t enough, New Balance is a fantastic budget shoe. Whenever we write up these lists, we often include New Balance as the best budget shoe. Today, something is a little bit better than this in that category (i.e. more bang for your buck), but the New Balance FuelCell is still going to be perfect for those that want to save a bit of money but still end up with an awesome pair.

Specifications

We were debating whether to actually include the K-Swiss Hypercourt Supreme 2 on this list. This is because our articles are, of course, focused on wide tennis shoes. However, there have been a couple of complaints that these do not sit right on some with wider feet. However, after doing a bit of research into things, we found that many of the people complaining hadn’t actually selected shoes that were a good size for them. They just grabbed whatever they could and stuck them on their feet. Well, they guessed at the size. Don’t do this.

Importance of Correct Shoe Sizing

The K-Swiss Hypercourt Supreme 2 does have somewhat of a narrow toe box, so do bear that in mind. The rest of the tennis shoe is wide, but the toe box can be a touch narrow. We suppose this actually contributed to the problems that some people may have had with the shoe.

The thing that we love about the K-Swiss Hypercourt Supreme 2 is that despite them being an incredibly lightweight shoe, they offer a huge amount of support and comfort. Normally, when you have a lighter-weight shoe, they tend to skimp on the supportive foam. However, that doesn’t seem to be the case here.

Lightweight yet Extremely Durable

Durability is fantastic here. The shoes have been known to put up with hours upon hours of play on even the hardest of tennsi courts. So, if you are one of those players that really likes to go in hard on the jumping, bouncing, and whatever you kids are doing on the tennis court nowadays, then these shoes are going to be great for you.

So, why have we included these as the best in comfort? As we said at the start, there have been some complaints about the comfort levels of the shoe. However, these all seem to come from people that chose incorrectly when it came to the size. However, when we did further research (and tested these shoes out ourselves), we found that if you did choose the right size, these were among the most comfortable of wide tennis shoes on the market. Wide footed tennis players rejoice!

Specifications

The problem that we have often found is that as tennis shoe tech improves, many of the shoes start to become overwhelmed with foam and support. Not that this is a bad thing. It certainly does help you to improve your game on the court. Our issue is that once you start to overload the shoes with extra gear, you stop feeling ‘one’ with the court. You don’t have to worry about that with the ASICS Gel-Resolution 8. These shoes are responsive to the max (do people still say that?). You really feel the court beneath you, and some people love that.

Perfect Midsole Density

Now, don’t get us wrong, being able to feel the court beneath you and feeling how responsive the tennis shoe is isn’t actually a bad thing. There is still padding there, and there is still cushioning. It is just that ASICS goes about it in a slightly different way. This is due to their DYNAWALL technology. This basically makes the midsole a little bit more supportive while keeping that responsiveness in place.

Locked-in Support

The heel also has a decent amount of support too. When you are playing some of the tighter plays on the court, the tennis shoe really helps to lock your foot into place. This ensures that you are not slipping and sliding over the place. This could cause a tennis player to miss their shot or, worse, cause you an injury.

That is only just scratching the surface of what these shoes can bring to the table too. Trust us, when we say that these shoes are going to feel fantastic when you are playing tennis. They certainly do not look too bad either.

Specifications

Next up is a tennis shoe by adidas. As you can probably guess, these shoes have been built from the ground-upwith court performance in mind. adidas never really fails there, spending literally hundreds of thousands of dollars each year on developing some of the best tennis shoes on the market.

One thing we must point out about these shoes is that they have only been designed for use on hard tennis courts. We doubt they would perform the same on a grass court for example.

Improved Sole Durability

A unique feature of many adidas tennis shoes is the use of  proprietary abrasion-resistant rubber in the outsole. This, of course, lends to their overall durability and longevity on the court. 

Form Fitting

While wearing these shoes, your feet are not going to drag when you are on the tennis court. If your feet are not dragging, then there is less of a chance of there being pressure placed on the side of the shoe which leads to bunion irritation. 

Of course, apart from bunions, it will only help with swifter movements while on the tennis court.

As you may expect from Adidas shoes, the cushioning and support on these athletic shoes is second to none.

Specifications

You may not have heard of Prince tennis shoes, but they have been kicking around for a while. They come in at a fairly budget price for what you get with these shoes too.

Excellent All-Court Choice

We have selected these as the best all-court shoe. This is because they can function on just about any court that you use them on. You will still get the grip and support that you need. For a budget shoe, they are going to be incredibly supportive too, which is always a huge plus.

This is another tennis shoe that has the herringbone sole, so it may be a grip that you are used to. If you aren’t, then you will be pleased to know that the herringbone pattern is able to provide proper grip in all directions of play. This means that no matter how you enjoy playing, you can be sure that this tennis shoe will only help.

Great Feedback

Now, as we said, this tennis shoe has been around for a good while now. It sells incredibly well. The model that we are reviewing here is the latest model from Prince, and it is probably the best that they have ever produced. They took customer feedback into account, and the tennis shoe now rocks a far more breathable mesh top. It has a bit of flexibility while, at the same time, making sure that each foot is properly supported while they are in the shoe.

Specifications

Yes. You read that right. A pair of Adidas shoes is going at the top of the best budget shoes. This is because they genuinely are. In fact, bar some extreme sales, this is probably the cheapest pair on this list. However, this is Adidas, so they haven’t skimped on the quality of the tennis shoe despite the low price.

Exceptional Value

These shoes are very wide. In fact, they are so wide that even if you have wide feet, we suggest that you order half a size down from what you would normally get. This helps to ensure that your foot is a bit more comfortable inside the Adidas Gamecourt.

All The Bells & Whistles, Without The High Price

These shoes have been designed purely for tennis, which is rare for shoes at this budget. You normally expect them to be a bit more versatile. But nope, these shoes are for the court. They have been designed to absorb the jumps, twists, and turns on the tennis court. Each foot will be supported every single step of the way. This is fantastic if you normally suffer from foot issues.

These shoes are durable for the price too. Now, obviously, you can’t expect them to last the same length of time as a pair of shoes that is 3-4x the price. However, if you play the sport to an amateur level a couple of times per month for several hours, then these shoes will easily last you a year plus. It is a great investment!
