I've had these shoes for a season now. Overall I'm happy with them. My only gripe is that the tongue wants to slide to the outside of my foot even though it's laced correctly in the shoe. I did not have this problem with the previous Wave Lightning 7s. But the cushion and support are otherwise very good. I can play day tournaments and not be too sore. Other shoes used to leave my feet pretty trashed at the end of long play. At some point the wimpy insoles will wear out. If the uppers are still in good shape, I'll swap them out with the Orange Superfeet insoles to extend their life a bit. The only downside to that is the factory insoles have tiny pinholes in them to vent through the bottom of the shoe and you won't be able to take advantage of that with aftermarket insoles. These are not as durable as Miznuno's all leather upper shoe (Tornado), but the venting provided by the mesh construction and the light weight are just too good to pass up.
