text: I love the look of these tennis shoes so I'm disappointed that they didn't fit well.  I play singles during the summer USTA season so I need something light and stiff, but with enough support that I don't get hurt.  I was so excited when I opened the box and saw how nice these sneakers look.  But once I put them on, I realized that I needed to return them.  They are way too big around the ankle/heel area.  The shoes fit every where else, so it's not the case of getting a smaller size.  When I walked, my heel came right out of the shoe.  I would get killed on the court if I tried to play with them.  My other tennis sneakers, have an additional lace hole further up the ankle area so that you can tighten them.  These do not have that, they just end on the front so there was no way to tighten the shoe enough to keep my heel from slipping out.
