I definitely have to say these shoes are a joy to wear and play in. So far, I have worn them 3 times on the court and after my entire session I have to say I don't feel beat up. The cushion is cushioning majorly! I did put in other insoles however, that is just personal preference. They did take a few days to loosen up and get soft enough for me to put my foot in along with my ankle braces, but that is water under the bridge now. They fit one to one, but if you feel the need to go up half a size go for it, but for me, once the break in happened, it was on the races. Dust isn't an issue neither, wipe if you need to and get after it. You definitely can feel the court under you as well, and they shoes don't tip over on quick moves. They sit just right. I might end up buying a second pair for casual wear, as I don't like wearing my hardwood shoes on the street, although I do sometimes. These deserve to be bought twice. Definitely recommend these.
