- Is the CT-Rally good for clay courts?
- It is listed for clay, but the tread is a general rubber pattern rather than a herringbone clay-specific sole. It works on clay, though a dedicated clay outsole will slide and grip better.
- Does it run true to size?
- Most players find it true to length, and the wide width helps those with broader feet. Try your usual tennis size first.
- Is it stable enough for competitive play?
- It is stable enough for recreational and club matches, but aggressive movers may want a firmer, lower shoe for hard lateral cuts.
- How does it compare with the Fresh Foam X Lav?
- The Lav is New Balance's more speed-oriented tennis shoe with a lower, firmer feel. The CT-Rally leans toward cushioning and a roomier fit.
- What is the upper made of?
- A synthetic upper with a rubber outsole and foam midsole. It is easy to clean but less breathable than mesh uppers.
- Who is it not for?
- Players who want a light, fast, low-to-the-ground shoe or who play daily on hard courts and need maximum outsole durability.
- Where is the New Balance Fresh Foam X CT-Rally Tennis Shoes cheapest?
- At New Balance, for $149.99, as of our latest check.
