Best Durable Tennis Shoes

When you are logging lots of hours playing on hard courts, finding shoes that will last is likely a priority. Plenty of shoes are built to be durable on hard court surfaces. We test wear a lot of different shoes mostly on hard courts, and we've found that these shoes hold up well to the grind of hard court tennis.

Our Picks for Most Durable Tennis Shoes

Asics Gel Resolution X

What we love: Asics overhauled the Gel Resolution for this 10th iteration. Without even looking at the internals of the Gel Resolution X, players can notice some big differences. Most notably is the higher ankle collar on the medial side. Asics also upgraded the Dynawall for even more stability, and FlyteFoam Blast+ and ECO Foam ensure plenty of cushioned comfort. The fit has also been updated to be a bit roomier, and depending on the player, that could affect the performance on court. Our men's TW playtesters found the fit to be slightly long and recommend going down a half size if you find yourself between sizes. Our women's playtest team discovered a rather lengthy break-in but found these shoes to run true to size. Aside from all these updates, there's no denying the Asics Gel Resolution X is one of the most durable shoes on the market.

KSwiss Ultrashot 4

What we love: The KSwiss Ultrashots are a team favorite for durability and stability. The shoes play a bit lighter than previous versions, but our team felt secure in their movements around the court. These Ultrashot 4 are a great option for everyday tennis shoes.

adidas Barricade 13

What we love: When thinking of durable tennis shoes, it wouldn't be surprising if Barricade was the first model to pop into mind. With some minor tweaks to the outgoing model, the Barricade 13 is lighter feeling, but it hasn't lost any ground when it comes to durability. To get into more details read our full women's review and men's review.

Babolat Propulse Fury 3

What we love: Since its inception, the Propulse line has been known for its support and stability. With the Fury 3 edition, we found a more cushioned and plush ride — a definite plus for hard-court players. This Propulse Fury 3 model is available only in men's sizing. Don't miss all the details in our full review.

HEAD Revolt Pro 4.5

What we love: The HEAD Revolt Pro 4.5 tennis shoes are engineered for players - especially baseline grinders - looking for the perfect mix of durability, stability, and comfort. Both the men and women's playtest teams praised the overall performance of these shoes.
