text: Bought the all white, because I'm cheap and they were less than the blue striped shoes. These are your standard - issue, old school tennis shoes, which is what I wanted. They are well-made of fairly heavy leather. Outsoles have good grip, and make that satisfying squeal when you stop or cut hard. Scares your opponents,  when you come hard into the net and stop!<br />On the negative side, your feet will sweat in these a bit. But I'm in Phoenix and they are fine. They are also a little narrow. They are fine for my C width, may not work for those used to wearing standard D width shoes. Lastly, these babies could be endorsed by Nurse Ratched until they are scuffed in a bit!
