I love these shoes. They are very comfortable and very stable on the court. The outsole is slightly flared at the outer edges to provide additional stability against twisting. It works great but took a slip or two to get used to. I almost tripped over them when I first put them on, but now I really appreciate their design. Another great feature is that a language isn't really a language. It's not a separate part, so it can't slip. Instead, the shoe's upper is a one-piece piece that stretches slightly. Then you tighten the laces so they fit snugly around your foot. (I recommend using a shoehorn) Shoes run half a size too big. Pumps should be long so you don't pinch your toes when you stop. The optional built-in half size is perfect for this, so just order your normal size. If you want the ends to be closer to your toes, cut the size in half.
