Is the Roger Pro 2 Clay only for clay courts?

It is designed for clay. The open herringbone outsole grips loose surface and wears quickly on hard courts, so keep it for clay.

How does it fit compared with other On tennis shoes?

It runs snug and narrow, especially through the forefoot. Players with wide feet should size up or try it on first.

Does it have a carbon plate?

Yes. A full-length carbon fiber Speedboard runs through the midsole and returns energy on each step.

How much cushioning does it have?

Less than support-oriented shoes like the Asics Court FF. The ride is low and firm for court feel and speed.

Competitive players who want a fast, low ride on clay. Casual players wanting comfort should look at cushioned all-court shoes.

Is it the same as the original Roger Pro?

No. The Pro 2 adds a clay-specific open herringbone outsole, a rubberized toe cap, lateral TPU clips and reinforced overlays for durability.

What reviewers say

4.5 / 5105 ratings

Owners rate it highly as a fast, stable clay shoe with a lively carbon plate and secure fit. The main complaints are the firm underfoot feel and the snug, narrow fit, plus the tread's short life if used off clay.

What people mention

Outsole gripPraisedOwners say the open herringbone pattern bites and releases well when sliding on clay.
CushioningCriticisedReviewers find the ride firm and thin, with little comfort for long matches or practice.
FitMixedThe lockdown is secure, but many say it runs narrow and tight for wider feet.
SpeedboardPraisedPlayers like the springy, propulsive feel the carbon plate gives on push-offs.
DurabilityMixedThe toe cap and overlays hold up to drags, but the clay tread wears fast on hard courts.
Break-inCriticisedSome owners say the shoe feels stiff out of the box and takes time to soften.

About the On The Roger Pro 2 Clay Men's Tennis Shoes

The On The Roger Pro 2 Clay is a men's tennis shoe built for clay courts. It was co-created with Roger Federer and is worn by players including Iga Swiatek and Ben Shelton. The open herringbone outsole combines grip and give for traction and agility on clay.

The upper is an ultra-light, abrasion-resistant mesh that is breathable. A perforated tongue adds ventilation. Reinforced upper overlays, a rubberized toe cap and a lateral TPU clip add durability and protect against toe drags and slides. The TPU clips also add structure and support.

An internal half-bootie construction locks down the forefoot, and a molded heel counter adds security. The high-performance foam midsole absorbs shock. A 100% carbon fiber Speedboard returns energy to drive you forward.
