Easily the most comfortable tennis shoe I have tried. I don't even have to break them in--instant clouds on my feet. My first pair only last about 5 months but these shoes come with a 6 month sole warranty which is awesome.

A Phenomenal Tennis Shoe...

Innovation and incredible design make this a superior tennis shoe with amazing cosmetics as well.. Love the new lacing system which helps this shoe fit like a glove. Lots of cushion along with a snug fit around the foot make it great for a hard court surface. Plenty of room in the toe area and a secure feeing in the heel with lots of support. I think this shoe will be around for a while.A terrific new product from Nike..

Great Shoe but needs a better lacing system

I bought this shoe a few weeks ago and really like the comfort. I normally wear a 10.5 but needed to go to a 10.0 for correct sizing. I have narrow feet and the lacing of the shoe makes it hard to tighten. I would get another pair in the future.

Most Durable Tennis Shoe in the Lineup

-Comfortable and superbly cushioned-Abrasion protection is adequate and in the right spots-Integrated tongue conforms to the foot due to well placed elastic complement-Rear outsole design attenuates landing-Sacrifices weight for padding-This is a tennis specific shoe, do not expect comfort for walking or any other activity-Good lateral stability-Resist abrasion better than any of the other tennis specific shoes-Rec play durability: 6+ months. Highly skilled play durability: 4+ weeks

My favorite tennis shoes (and not only among Nikes)

What initially attracted me to Zoom Cage shoes was the 6-month outsole guarantee. I used to wear out some other shoes in a month or so, and I'm not that rich :-) Zoom Cage gives me about 4 month of play. And I weigh around 190lbs and play pretty much every day. So I assume a lighter person who plays a two-three times a week will get a lot more out of them.No other shoes I tried (adidas Barricade being the latest attempt) last as long. Barricades lasted about a month less. They also mention 6-month guarantee on their site, but they backed out of it when I submitted a claim (simply said this guarantee doesn't exist, although their website says otherwise!). Had no problems with Nike. Got my fresh pair of shoes a couple of times when I managed to wear them out in six ... MoreWhat initially attracted me to Zoom Cage shoes was the 6-month outsole guarantee.

I still rank them among the most comfortable shoes I tried.I had a couple of pairs of Zoom Cage 3, now went through 4 or 5 pairs of Zoom Cage 4. And I plan to come back for more.

Rigid & inflexible, but durable tennis shoe

I find the Nike Zoom Vapor Cage 4 in the Black Volt color very appealing. However, during the first sessions the shoe felt extremely rigid, heavy and inflexible, in fact, it made me think that I was wearing a pair of trekking boots. After a couple of sessions it has changed though, but I do not feel the same type of break-in as I do with running shoes. The sock like design is ok, but its thick and makes the shoe extremely warm. The foot was locked in, although I have to tighten the lacers firmly to avoid any heel-slip. The vapor cage 4 runs rather big. I have a neutral foot and would normally opt for a size US 11 in Nike running shoes, however, I got this in size US 10 1/2 and still it feels a little big, I can actually wear insoles in these shoes with no issues. ... MoreI find the Nike Zoom Vapor Cage 4 in the Black Volt color very appealing.

This is why I would recommend sizing down 1/2 size if you have a neutral or narrow foot. Although the shoe looks small on the outside, it actually feels big, but yet again a bit narrow. I did feel that my foot was "sliding" inside once in a while on the court, but not an issue. This shoe is being praised for cushioning, however, I do not not feel that the show is that comfortable and I find the use of materials and thickness rather exaggerated. When it comes to durability these shoes are certainly going to last, but still I find that the shoe could be stripped from materials while maintaining the same durability while making it lighter and more flexible. During a tournament with several matches, or between training, I would only use the shoes while on the court. The shoe is extremely warm, in particularly in warmer climates, +25 C., I would actually recommend wearing slippers when not playing on the court. Overall the shoe looks appealing and for sure it finds great popularity, but personally I prefer something lighter, with a more forgiving and flexible fit that can speed me up and make me jump a little higher on the court. I might opt for a Nike vapor pro next time or as a replacement.

Should have bought a long time ago.

I talked myself down from buying a proper tennis shoe for a long time. I reasoned that I have plenty of "athletic" shoes and am not a "competitive" player. I wish I hadn't. These feel so much better on the court and will be much more durable. I wear a size 12 in most shoes, but I feel like I could have gotten away with an 11.5 in these. If you like a "snugger" fit, that is something to consider.

Solid, durable, support

Have used these for Pickleball and Platform Tennis. They feel stable, have good cushion and provide support of my ankles.

Very disappointed in durability of this shoe

Shoe didn't even last a single season of moderate tennis play. I am a recreational tennis player and on average I probably play 5 hours of tennis per week on composite courts. Shoe already showing signs of distressed. Reached junk status very quickly.

Very good, durable tennis shoe

Durable and comfortable tennis shoe, with a 6 month outsole guarantee. Provides good support and traction, a little heavier than their other models but they last longer.
