No. 10 - Wilson Rush Pro

Weight: 15 ounces

Wilson’s most advanced tennis shoe to date, the Rush Pro has been on our watch list since it made its debut earlier in the year—and the wait was certainly well worth it. The shoe offers ultimate performance with a low-to-the-ground feel for max efficiency. It features a dynamic fit system that improves agility across all surfaces, including clay.

No. 9 - adidas adiZero CC Feather 2.0

Weight: 13.1 ounces

The choice shoe of Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, the adiZero Feather 2.0 doesn’t quite get the same hype as the adidas Barricade, but on the clay, the lightweight shoe is just as impressive as its counterpart. Designed to help players move around the court swiftly, the Feather 2.0 features a low-profile adiWear outsole that helps maintain balance and footing. A single-layer Sprintskin upper with Climacool offers all-around cooling—perfect for a place like Roland Garros.

No. 8 - Yonex Power Cushion 308

Weight: 13.9 ounces

Yonex has been around the game for a long time. Naturally, the brand knows what it’s doing when it comes to tennis sneakers. The latest Yonex creation, the Power Cushion 308 comes in a rugged profile designed to take a beating. Taking the requirements of a clay court shoe into account, the Power Cushion 308 is reinforced in all the right places, including the toe box and heel. Along with a TPU heel strap, the shoe uses a 3D Graphite Sheet beneath the overlays to keep the foot in place.

No. 7 - Asics Gel Resolution 5

Weight: 15.5 ouces

The Asics Gel Resolution 5 is all about support. Featuring an improved Flexion Fit upper, the updated GEL-Resolution 5 provides a one-of-a-kind fit for maximum comfort on the tennis court. The shoe also has a re-designed PGuard in the upper for greater flexibility. For the first time, Asics has introduced its Trusstic System technology to the GEL-Resolution series, which reduces the weight of the shoe while still managing to retain its structural integrity.
