Having tried the Supreme and Express 2, I can confirm that they aren’t the same fit as the Supreme is narrower. Just something to keep in mind if you are considering switching from one to the other.
I wear the hypercourt express 2 for my carpentry work when i don’t have to wear steel toe boots. Things last forever being on my knees and dragging them over many types of surfaces. The supreme is a little too stiff for my liking but still a nice shoe. Express is super comfy too.
@FootDoctorZach, great that you got round to reviewing these. Here are my thoughts. For me it’s taken a couple of hours to break them in. As I’m using an orthotic insole(Pedag Viva Sport), they raise my foot very slightly, so need to cinch down a little more using the last eyelet. The ankle cushion really helps get a good lockdown. They seem less flexible and nimble than my Mizuno Wave Enforce Tours, which are just about perfect except for the outsole, which have worn almost smooth after 8 months continuous use(no outsole warranty in the UK), approx 4 times a week, for an hour. I hope the outsoles on these last longer. Toe box room is narrower than the Hyper Court Express and Wave Enforce Tour, but my toes don’t feel cramped even with the orthotic. Cushioning is on the firm side, but that’s subjective as I’m comparing them to the WET. I did find they fit quite warm one day last week when the temperature peaked at 15 degrees Celsius(UK), so thinner sock may solve this problem. The design of these shoes are just great, and Kswiss appear to have put some thought into it, and not just slapping ‘K-Swiss’ on the back like they do with their lower-end shoes. Time will tell how they stand up to the rigours of continual use and whether they begin to feel uncomfortable in any way.
Yeah the enforce are a bit more flexible but I felt these were a bit more rugged and tactile with the lighter foam in the forefoot. I was pleasantly surprised with the width because the 1’s I thought were actually a tighter medium than was talked about - they’re not perfect shoes by any means but for sure a massive step up which is what I’m excited about
Yeah I honestly have a dimmer view of the moment we’re in as tennis players - I may do a video on it actually just as more of a therapy session than anything haha
i love Kswiss shoes but as I play in a very warm climate they are just too hot. I've heard that the TEAM version is more breathable but the Hypercourt and Ultrashot are just way too hot for me.
Hi! Am someone that needs support and stability when I play since I usually sprain my ankle. Been used to the FF3s but looking for another shoe to play in. Wondering how this compares to the Gel Resolution 9s?
Doc, you should review the Yonex Eclipsion 5 next.. i have been playtesting it for about 6 hours now and its by far the BEST eclipsion to date. Yonex really hit the mark on this version
@footdoctorzach One issue that I'm having that I don't know if you encountered was when you do put orthotics in these shoes it raises the level of the heel enough so that the small bumper of padding that the shoe has to sit right above your heel now sits right in the back of your heel and is quite irritating. Lots of heel slippage with orthotics in. Did you try these shoes with orthotics and what was your experience?
@foodDoctorZach. Great review! I been watching your channel for a while and test some shoes that you have review. I have so cald problem feet and where pode insole, often have achilles pain and calf strain and sometime hip or back pain and have medium wide foot. I play Padel and are coach, so a lot of time on the court. I tryed a lot of shoes (aesic resolution 9, kswiss hypercourt, kswiss supreme 1, babolat jet prem, nox at10, mizuno enforce wave tour). Padel you have a sand pitch and pitch that has more momo court with liltle sand. You have a lot of side to side and back to forward movement buth also pivot actions in wall turn etc. So your sole is very important. After your review on the mizuno wave tour i try them. They Are heaven espcially with the hybrid sole, they are stable and heel suport and cushion. I was wondering, how can i compare the mizuno wave with the K swiss Supreme 2 with the K swiss Speed track and the new Mizuno wave exceed tour hybrid sole and perhaps the new on the roger clubhouse pro. Because the mizuno wave tour are great but not the lighest ones and one a field with a momo court with lilte sand they have perhaps to much friction. I defently order the new mizuno exceed to give it a try. But i doubt about the k swiss supreme 2 or speedtrack padel (same sole as tennis) or perhaps the new on clubhouse pro, because i love the on cloudrunner for daily based shoe.
Tried the supreme 2s but the toe box was too narrow for me even going a half size up. I have the supreme 1 and they work for me but ultimately prefer the the hypercourt express 2 can wear true to size and plenty of room in the toe box.
Hi Zach! Could you review the new ON roger Clubhouse pro tennis shoe? It's supposed to be a on court and an off court shoe, I'm not sure how that will work out in terms of durability.
I know a lot of shoes today are using synthetics in the uppers but when i hear polyurethane, all I can think of is plastic shoes....i have gotten many shoes with this but when you first try them on, it is a little weird
Great review! The HC Express 2 fit is great for me (good room in toebox). The HC Supreme was way too narrow for me. Can you please comment how the HC Supreme 2 compare to the aforementioned??? I would love to buy a pair of these shoes. Thanks.
Hello Doc. I'll leave here a suggestion and a request for help. For when a video about the best shoes for Tennis for those who have had knee injuries or other types of injuries! I had a meniscus injury and had surgery, I hope to be back playing next month! But now my concern is which shoes should I buy? Any suggestions? I thought of the Yonex Eclipsion.
Love your videos! One issue I have is I have to wear wide shoes or else the toe box is too cramped. Tennis, running, lifestyle shoes are all wide. I need a pair of clay (hartru) shoes but none come in a wide width. What should I look for in regular all-court surface shoes for a shoe that can work on clay? Or just stick with my Jet Mach IIIs?
I think the Mizuno wave enforce tour is a superior shoe in terms of comfort and performance. That said the stack of the mid soul is just a tad higher on the Mizuno‘s and makes them a little bit squishy laterally. On the other hand, the supreme 2 feel very hard and a little clunky in comparison. If I had to choose one shoe to go to battle with, it would be the Mizuno between these two.
My wife has heel spurs and is having trouble finding a pickleball/tennis shoe that will not hurt her heel. She is currently playing with a Hoka Arahi which feels good on her heel, but not ideal for pickleball. Do you have any suggestions on what would be a good shoe to try? Thanks!
Based on Zach’s 2024 Shoe Guide, if you cross references list for flat feet and heavy players, these are the shoes that pop up on both lists: Lacoste AG LT-23* Mizuno Wave Enforce Tour* Asics Gel Res 9 Babolat Jet Mach 3 Diadora Blushield Torneo 2* NB Court Rally Lotto Raptor Hyperpulse 100 Lotto Mirage 100 Some of these shoes are more stable than others. Some of them are quicker than others. Some are more comfortable than others, but they all check those boxes. Personally, I am in the same boat and have tried them all, and the Lacoste and Mizuno are hard to beat. They can also be hard to find.

They’re supposedly in the mail
Is it for narrow or wide foot?
Always nice to see K-Swiss. I didn't know they were _this_ popular!
Surprised me too
Doc, you should review The Roger Clubhouse Pro On
Im supposed to get them in the mail but haven't gotten them yet

We’ll see if it shows up in the mail- I asked for one but haven’t heard back
The blue foam is actually shock spring
Could you review the Lacoste AG23 lite?
I actually have already just haven’t posted it yet

Yeah it’s a different experience for sure
Was that a one handed backhand that I saw? 😊. Love Kswiss shoes. They are super comfortable.
That’s what you call the old man one hander
Please do precision 7
Great review! The HC Express 2 fit is great for me (good room in toebox). The HC Supreme was way too narrow for me. Can you please comment how the HC Supreme 2 compare to the aforementioned??? I would love to buy a pair of these shoes. Thanks.
They seemed pretty on par w the original express in terms of raw space but materials on the supreme are a bit stiffer

It’s in this video:

any suggestions for a shoe that is good for agility workouts/daily runs (3 miles)/speed?
Could you please do a video or address zero drop tennis (better yet Pickelball) shoes with a wide toe box.
Watch the Harden Vol 8 video- it applies to tennis and pickle
Converse 70s hi review
Can you do the new Wade flash Fuego ?
Love your videos! One issue I have is I have to wear wide shoes or else the toe box is too cramped. Tennis, running, lifestyle shoes are all wide. I need a pair of clay (hartru) shoes but none come in a wide width. What should I look for in regular all-court surface shoes for a shoe that can work on clay? Or just stick with my Jet Mach IIIs?
Either deep sharp herringbone or other tread that’s a clay surface first pattern
Anyone with experience using this vs Mizuno Wave Enforce.
I think the Mizuno wave enforce tour is a superior shoe in terms of comfort and performance. That said the stack of the mid soul is just a tad higher on the Mizuno‘s and makes them a little bit squishy laterally. On the other hand, the supreme 2 feel very hard and a little clunky in comparison. If I had to choose one shoe to go to battle with, it would be the Mizuno between these two.

ruclips.net/video/C5s5mmVFUh8/видео.html
37/40 sounds like a shoe of the year contender
I need 2E are they for me?
Would these be considered as stable as the Ultrashots? How about Gel Res?
Same ballpark - I like these a lot more than the ultrashots tbh
@@FootDoctorZach Thank you for the response!
Is the width number measured at the widest point? As in the from the pinky toe (tip) to the ball of the feet?
Across the metatarsal parabola from 1st to 5th
@@FootDoctorZach thank you using the actual medical professional term! I got my answer AND learned something too! ♥️
Is the toe box wider than gel resolutions 9?
Oh yeah
I've heard you say it in many other reviews but... what is a "snakebitten foot?" 😅
Doc, for an overweight and flatfooted guy like me, which shoes are best/recommended atm for tennis?

K-swiss is owned by xtep, btw
It looks like a modern bball shoe imo
Yeah it’s got that look
