Best Tennis Shoes for Wide Feet: Court Fit Without Compromise
September 8th, 2025 by Carlota

Finding the right court shoes can seem like an endless and hopeless task, whether you're looking for extra width, arch support, or light weight. For tennis players with wide feet, finding the right shoe can be even more challenging since there are significantly fewer options, but once you find the one, it is a game-changer. Beyond comfort, the correct fit enhances stability, power transfer, and injury prevention. This handpicked lineup—available at Do It Tennis—strikes that sweet spot between generous fit and high performance.
1. K‑Swiss Hypercourt Express 2 Wide – Nimble, Roomy, Built to Move
The K‑Swiss Hypercourt Express 2 Wide brings a rare blend of featherlight agility (thanks to Surgelite cushioning) and a spacious 2E last. With support in all the right places—from drag-guard toe protection to flex-ready mesh—the shoe feels like a comfortable second skin on the court.
Court-tested and player-endorsed: “If you’re looking for a truly wide court shoe… this shoe solves that issue” (Reddit). Even with minor wear-related traction notes, its overall fit and performance still make it a fan favorite.
2. Babolat SFX 4 / SFX Evo – Cushioned, Roomy, Ready from Day One
When it comes to immediate comfort, the Babolat SFX 4 and SFX Evo stand out, although the SFX4 is said to be a bit wider than the Evo. Renowned for plush cushioning and a notably generous forefoot, these models break in quickly, making it ideal for players who hate waiting for that perfect fit. Although they don't include “wide” in the title, community sentiment highlights their natural toe-box friendliness and responsiveness.
3. New Balance Men's 806 Extra Wide (4E) – Rock-Solid Stability, Timeless Build
Steeped in heritage, the New Balance 806 Extra Wide (4E) delivers unmatched support with ABZORB and C‑CAP cushioning plus ROLLBAR stability tech. Crafted in sturdy full-grain leather with a herringbone outsole, it’s built for long-haul durability with the width to keep players with very wide feet comfortable.
Players rave: “These are the only shoes out there that fit my wide feet.” and “My third pair.”
4. Yonex Sonicage Plus / Wide – Lightweight and Stable with Footroom to Spare
If you value quick court movement paired with a forgiving width, the Sonicage Plus / Wide delivers. Its streamlined design doesn’t skimp on lateral support, and the fit carries a reputation for a comfortable toe box. Currently sold out on Do It Tennis but check back soon.
5. Asics Gel‑Resolution X Wide – Structured, Secure, Built for Baseline Battles
For those seeking anchor-like stability, the Gel‑Resolution X Wide incorporates technologies like DYNAWALL™ and DYNALACING™ to ensure your foot stays locked in through aggressive lateral movement. It’s a performance-focused, wide fit option that caters to discipline on the baseline. While sizing may feel a bit long or stiff initially for some, minor fit adjustments usually resolve fit nuances over time.
