Great shoe but definitely runs small
I just got and started using them, but they seem very well built. I'd been using Asics Gel Rocket 7's, but before the rest of that shoe really started showing any signs of wear, the mesh uppers kept getting holes in them making them quite unsightly. So this time I was looking for a reasonably priced shoe with full leather uppers.As one other commenter noted, there's definitely something wrong with the sizing. I first ordered size 11, which is the size I've used for every other shoe I've worn in the past 35 years, but way too small. I sent them back and ordered size 12 and they fit perfectly. When I measured them up to my size 11 Asics, the exterior bottom of the two shoes are identical in length. But aside from what's ultimately a minor issue, the shoe seems great, so five stars.A couple other commenters seem to not have had any problems with the sizing (they ordered sizes 8 & 9), so maybe the issue is only with the larger sizes.

Good shoe but runs very small
The shoe is very stable and has very good traction on indoor wood surfaces. However,I normally wear a men's size 10.5, and ordered this shoe in size 11 as suggested by the website. My feet are still crammed and I will have to try a size 11.5.

Order 1/2 size bigger as they run small. Great court shoe.
Deffinately want to get a larger size as they run small. I learned the hard way but once I had the correct size they really last and are a great court shoe for racquetball and other indoor court use.

Cheaply made for the price
These fit well and had good grip, but after a fairly short number of uses (probably around 20 times of putting them on) one of the shoestring eyelets sheared clean through. Can no longer wear them tight after this. Hoping this was a one-off flaw in the shoe I got, I ordered another pair and the same thing happened even sooner.Tried to contact Python to get some help. They have no contact phone number, only a web form which I filled out requesting help. No response at all after two weeks. It’s a shame because these are one of the few gummy-souled shoes that come in a wide size.

Very sharp. Strange fit.
Like the appearance of these, but they are bizarre. First thing I noted was the large tongue and how it has a horizontal seam separating the top black PU part from the bottom white textile part, precisely where the laces cross - I anticipate that it's a only a matter of time before something wears out there, but so-far, so-good. They are indeed light-weight, and have good grip.Fit-wise, as previous reviewers have noted, they run small. The vendor says to go a half-size up, but based upon prior reviews I went a full size up (10.5 to 11.5) and am glad that I did. They are still very tight across the top, yet the toe box is large. If you're picky like I am, I'd say that they run three-quarters of a size small, and since they're synthetic, there's really no "break-in" to speak of. If you wear two pairs of socks and use a full-length insole, I'd say you're good going a full size up. If you like a tighter fit and/or just wear one pair of socks and don't use an insole, I'd say you're safe going a half-size up. I've worn them six or seven times so far for paddleball/racquetball, and a couple of times for power-walking. They feel kind of flat and lack arch support without an added insole.

4.9 stars out of 5, in regards to quality especially the indoor sports.
They're always uncertainty ordering shoes of any kind online. The variation of how different fit, makes it a task for me to be sure if I am m really a 10, 9.5, or 9. Some cases, 8 have had to go with size 7.5 fob tods, and size 10.t from Nike. I got the 9.5 which was an educated guess, and the shoes fit as if they were custom designed for me.-classic look to it, it's not the type of pair to draw many random compliements from strangers.I think, for sports such Pickleball, Table Tennis m, squash, indoor racquet ball, clay court tennis, abs indoor basketball on hardwood, this brand and model which I had begged heard of, and I'm saying this having worn it a total of 3 times, is the best feeling if comfort abs safety I've felt playing sports post my acl surgery m. Such great grip, its just that extra but of trust in the shoes that allows me to play freely, with confidence executing any play in any of the aforementioned games.-just to be clear I'm not implying they're no good for outdoor sports m, I just havent tried them on line a concrete bball surface yet.

Solid shoe. Great value.
With the quality of athletic shoes having gone steadily down over the last several years, and the cost of nice performance sneakers way up, this comparatively low priced shoe is a find. Not the most supple or sleek, but comfortable out of the box, with good support and shock absorption to keep you from getting banged up on the squash court. After three tough matches, the shoes provide excellent traction and appear to be wearing well. Show me a better shoe for less than $140. made in china.
