Superior Product Alert: The New Balance Men's Fresh Foam X Ct-Rally V2 Tennis Shoe
Just played my first match in these new shoes, received two compliments, and they felt great on the court. High stability, great cushioning, easier on the joints than a lot of other shoes.

Good wide width shoe
This version 2 of the CT Rally shoe is great for pickleball, but it's not quite as wide as the version 1.

Two steps forward, three steps back
I really want to like the V2s. I’ve owned 6 pairs of the original, so I was excited to see my size is available in a colorway I liked. But, alas, I will probably return these.Pros: I really like added protection around the top/sides of the shoes. It will really up the durability overall. I was really looking forward to that upgrade when I saw the photos.Cons:1. Wide does not feel as wide as original (either more padding it smaller shoe, idk)2. Lacing the shoes is difficult as they’ve made some aesthetic-over-function decisions that I do not care for3. Feels stiffer overallI’ve been sitting on my couch wearing these for about 30 minutes, and my feet hurt. I’m not even using them for sports and I want to take them. I would try sizing up, but there aren’t any that size available currently.
