FIRST TAKE:
If you tried last year’s Prince QT FastCourt and found it too roomy in the forefoot, you’ll get a better fit with this heavy-duty shoe. Prince designed it for players, particularly juniors, with relatively narrow feet.

HOW IT TESTED:
First off, playtesters said the Prince T10 was too heavy for their liking; this was especially true for the men’s model. But the weight is put to good use. Prince beefs up the shoe with support around the heel and under the arch. You also lace the shoe through two wraps on each side of the upper for a snug fit that will keep your feet from slipping. And the cushioning was superior, playtesters said. As for the weight, we recommend that you wear the durable T10 for day-to-day practice and a lighter model for matches.

BOTTOM LINE:
It’s a heavyweight shoe that’s ideal for the practice court.
