Wilson Rush Pro Ace Review

Are you a fan of Wilson tennis shoes? Or do you love their products? If you answered ‘yes’ to any of these questions then you want to check out the latest tennis shoes released by Wilson.

It’s called the Wilson Rush Pro Ace and it’s designed to provide you with comfort, support and breathability. Let’s dive deep to find out more starting with the design and colour scheme.

Design

Right out of the box, the shoe looks clean, simple, and sleek to wear both on the court. Also, due to the nature of the shoe being comfortable and having a nice cushioning, it makes it fun to wear outside of the court to places like the gym or for a walk.

Upper

The upper is built with a lot of sensifeel minimal layers. The purpose of this is to provide you with the best comfort and support when playing in them.

The material used is also going to provide you with good ventilation to play in them.

This is awesome because your feet are going to stay fresh mostly throughout the match.

This is because moisture is going to leave the shoe quickly while allowing fresh air to enter the shoe.

Also, it helps your feet to stay fresh and cool throughout the match.

And lastly, the use of a medial rubber drag pad is going to give you drag protection, especially for those who slide into shots.

Toe Cap, Heel Area and Shank

The toe area may be tricky and make your toes feel uncomfortable when you wear it because the tip is narrow.

The heel area comes with DF2 heel to toe drop which does really well to provide you with the perfect balance and comfort when playing in them.

The shank is also nicely done by Wilson to give you the best possible responsive feel when playing in them.

Insole and Midsole

Next up are the insole and midsole. The insole comes with a removable layer which you can replace anytime with your prefered choice. Also, when you wash the shoe, you can take the insole out for it to dry quickly.

The midsole on the other hand comes with R-DST+ which is going to provide you with nice plush cushioning. This makes it fun and easy to play in them.

In addition, the use of the R-DST+ does really well to provide you with an easy rebound for explosive movements.

This allows you to generate enough power and hit the ball the way you want.

And lastly, the midsole is going to help you with your movement on the court and maintain your balance.

Weight

The Rush Pro Ace comes with a size 10.5 and a weight of 12.3. I wouldn’t say it’s the lightest shoe on the market and it’s not the heaviest either. It’s good to play in them without putting too much weight on your foot.

If you are looking for a lightweight tennis shoe then you want to check out Adidas Avacourt. This is one of the lightest shoes on the market for this year.

Lacing System and Tongue

Now let’s take a closer look at both the lacing system and tongue. The tongue comes with a well-padded material to provide you with the best comfort and cushioning when playing in them.

This allows you to play comfortably and smoothly without putting too much pressure on your forefoot.

The lacing system is done in a simplistic format. The eyelets are made of the exact materials of the upper which make them durable.

The lacing holes are big enough to lace through quickly without putting too much stress.

There is a hole attached to the tongue which gives you the opportunity to lace through them if you need to.

Fit

The fit of the shoe is a little tricky. I would say the shoe is geared towards players who have narrow to medium feet. However, the tip of the shoe is narrow which can feel uncomfortable to wear.

Therefore, make sure to try different sizes to see which one suits you the most before making a purchase. Also, this shoe may require some break-in period for your feet to get used to the shoe. So I encourage you to be a little patient with yourself when you put on this shoe for the first time.

Outsole

Another area that’s worth looking at is the outsole. It comes with the traditional herringbone pattern which is going to provide you with an excellent grip on different surfaces.

This is important and essential to have such features in your shoe because it allows you to maintain good stability when moving and sliding on the court.

Moreover, it’s good for those who go back and forth between hard and clay courts. This saves you money from having to buy different shoes for different surfaces.

The outsole also comes with duralast rubber compound to provide you with superb durability. This is great because it’s going to last you very long if you take good care of it.

Colour Options

Wilson did a good job to provide you with different colour options to choose from. This is great because it allows you to select which colour you want to wear with your tennis outfit.

Price

Unlike the Adidas CourtFlash which is more affordable, this shoe is a bit more expensive. The price range is more than $100. This may sound expensive however, it comes with many features such as good support, comfort and breathability to allow you to perform well on the court.

Conclusion

As this post comes to its conclusion, we can see that the Wilson Rush Pro Ace does really well at providing you with excellent comfort, cushioning and breathability.

However, it may take some time to break in and the fit of the shoe can be tricky to find your size. All in all, there are a lot of positive qualities to like about this shoe and it’s worth checking it out.
