Many of the top tennis brands have released new shoes for 2025, and here at Tennis Warehouse we're busy testing them on court. For our reviews, we like to wear shoes on court for a month. We rely on those experiences to help up pick the best tennis shoes. With the year just getting started, there are several shoe models we haven't yet tried but think they'll be strong contenders for our Best of 2025 shoes. We're hoping for good things from the KSwiss Ultrashot 4, Nike Vapor 12 and Wilson Intrigues, along with many others, and we are also curious to see how Skechers' top line tennis-specific shoe, the Baseline Bully, handles on court. With that said, keep on reading to see what we picked for the best all-around, most durable and stable, lightest, most comfortable and best-value shoes. Remember to check back throughout the year as we continue to test new tennis shoes, and the lists may change!

Wonder how we choose best gear recommendations? We gather from our playtesters' firsthand experiences reviewing and playing with all the tennis gear. We form our lists based on their reviews and feedback. You can find all of our product reviews here.

LEARN MORE: How to Choose the Best Tennis Shoes for You

What we love: When you're designing shoes for Novak Djokovic, arguably one of the most aggressive movers on the pro tour, the tennis shoes need to offer not only support and stability, but also agility. Asics delivers on all fronts with this latest Court FF model. The Court FF 3 blends stability and a speedy feel, which won't hold you back on court. Read more in-depth thoughts from our playtesters in the full review.

What we love: Our playtesters have loved these shoes since they debuted more than five years ago under a different name. Then called the adidas Stella Barricade Boost, the shoes won us over for their all-around performance and top-notch comfort for a variety of foot types. The model was discontinued for a bit, but now it's back and called the adidas Stella Court. And judging by our customer reviews, we're not the only ones elated to see these shoes back in the adidas lineup.

What we love: Asics overhauled the Gel Resolution for this 10th iteration. Without even looking at the internals of the Gel Resolution X, players can notice some big differences. Most notably is the higher ankle collar on the medial side. Asics also upgraded the Dynawall for even more stability, and FlyteFoam Blast+ and ECO Foam ensure plenty of cushioned comfort. The fit has also been updated to be a bit roomer, and depending on the player, could affect the performance on court. Our men's TW playtesters found the fit to be slightly long, and recommend going down a half size if you find yourself between sizes. Our women's playtest team discovered a rather lengthy break-in but found these shoes to run true to size. Aside from all these updates, there's no denying the Asics Gel Resolution X is one of the most durable shoes on the market. Those who are ultra tough on their outsoles can count on the Tennis Warehouse six-month durability guarantee, which provides a one-time replacement pair for shoes worn through the outsole within six months of purchase.

What we love: The New Balance CT Rally was new to the market in late 2023. As an update to the Lav, the CT Rally is built with stability, comfort and durability in mind. We love that New Balance offers these shoes in standard and wide widths for both men and women. They are also backed with a six-month durability guarantee. Both the men and women's playtest teams praised the overall performance of these shoes, with one of the few downsides being breathability. You can read more in our men's and women's reviews.

Because these shoes can be hard to find, the Vapor Cage 4s are listed as an honorable mention, but that's not to take away from their actual on-court performance. These Nike Zoom Vapor Cage 4s are the most durable in the Nike tennis shoe lineup. The outsole is integrated into the upper to help provide protection for hard court sliders. The shoes are also stable for aggressive movers. There is no longer a women's version, and with few colors available each season, the shoes can be hard to get. Check out our full review for more information.

What we love: There are few, if any, tennis shoes with a more storied history than the adidas Barricade. Building upon the 2021 update, the Barricade 13 is designed to be lighter and faster than Barricades of yesteryear, yet still offers the stability and durability that made this franchise a player favorite. New for 2024 are geo-fit heel pods and improved soft, stretchable tongue. The upper material has also been updated. Tennis Warehouse does offer a six-month durability guarantee as well for these shoes.

What we love: Designed for the aggressive movements of pros like Daniil Medvedev (some of the men's version sport his name and signature logo), the AG-LT Ultras quickly won over the TW playtesters when they reviewed these shoes in 2023. The shoes blend support, stability and comfort, and we thought they looked great as well, making them an all-around option for the court. The men's review awarded these shoes an 8.8/10 for stabililty, while the women's team awarded a 9.1/10 in their review.

What we love: Light, fast and with a durability guarantee? It's not a common combination, but you get that plus some nice underfoot cushioning with the Mizuno Wave Exceed Tour 6. We loved the blend of features in the previous version and found a lot of our favorite aspects were still present in the Wave Exceed Tour 6. Check out our full women's and men's reviews.

What we love: Yonex brings its tech know-how to shoes. The Ad Accel is one of the few tennis shoe models that features a carbon plate, which provides more rebound as you react and move to your next shot. The Power Cushion+ midsole is present in these shoes, too, and delivers the comfortable ride we've come to expect from Yonex shoes. One caveat from our playtest team was that the traction on these shoes was on the sticky side, so players who like to slide might find that tougher to do in the Ad Accel.

What we love: The Solution Speed series is the lightest and fastest in the Asics tennis shoe lineup. We love that these shoes are just as quick feeling as previous versions while offering better flexing and more comfortable uppers. Good ventilation and a low-to-the-ground yet cushioned ride rounds of this speedy Asics offering. Get a more in-depth look in our men's and women's reviews.

What we love: The Hypercourt Express was built to be comfortable on the court, and with this second version, it feels lighter and faster. These shoes feel flexible without any break-in time and provide a cushioned ride on court. These shoes are also offered in a wide version for both men and women. Read the full review for the men's version and women's model.

What we love: Players seeking the most cushioned ride in the Nike line will love the GP Challenge 1 shoes. Durable outsoles complement the comfort and make this shoe an excellent choice for anyone who logs lots of court time. Our testers found confidence inspiring traction which allowed them to sprint around the court worry free. One thing to note is this shoe does fit a bit short. Read more in the full men's review and women's review.

What we love: The first version of the Wave Enforce Tour was a hit with its impressive blend of a lightweight feel along with plenty of cushioning and stability. We're in the early stages of our testing of the Wave Enforce Tour 2s, but early indications are that the update picks up right where the first one left off in terms of comfort. The cushioning gets updated to the ENERZ NXT foam for a responsive feel, and the uppers feel light and pliable. Our women's playtest team found these shoes to run a bit short, and some of them opted to wear a half size larger than usual.

What we love: When longtime tennis players think of Prince shoes, the T22 is likely to come to mind. Released in 2023, the Prince Venom offers a lighter, speedier feel with a modern look. Both of our men's and women's playtesters founds these shoes to be quite comfortable and all-around performers at nice price point.

What we love: Released in 2024, the Defiant Speed 2 captured our playtesters' attention for its mix of lightweight on-court performance and off-court style. This shoe also gets pro player approval and is worn on tour by Alexander Zverev. With its speedy feel, comfort and price under $100, the Defiant Speed 2 is an excellent all-court option..
