Customer Reviews Nike Zoom Cage 3 HC

Another reviewer who, like me, had used this style's predecessor for years, wrote that the upgrade didn't feel right. I think he said that the new style was downright uncomfortable and he returned them after an hour's use. I didn't get that far. Just putting them on felt weird. The tongue is incorporated into a one-piece liner that makes the shoe difficult to put on. Even walking around the house led to uncomfortable rubbing under both ankle bones. Returned promptly!

Love the shoes. I bought a size 15. I wear a size 14 in other brand shoes. Nike runs a little small. So, I always order a size bigger than I actually measure. It works out. Maybe they ought to resize their shoes. Maybe the oriental people making the shoes dont know what they are doing?? Something is wrong. Aside from the price, which is ridiculous, I love the shoes. Nike just can not make enough to satisfy them selves. Greed is a wonderful motivator.

Shoes are light, comfortable and perform well. Well constructed shoes that are holding up well.

Fantastic on the pickleball court, I liked the first pair so much I bought a second pair to have when these wear out.

awesome on the court

Awesome fit from these shoes. It’s like wearing a heavy-duty sock. Perfect for tennis. Great style too!

My son wears these shoes for tennis. He has gone through several pairs and keeps playing with these because he likes them so much. They seem to wear down with several hours of play per weeks but Nike has a warranty so that should help. Right out of the box he hits the court with them. We recommend a little break in time before a match. I think the only thing is that the back can be a little stiff and they might be warmer than the previous versions. Overall a nice product.

I’ve worn the women’s version for awhile, playing tennis 4-5 times a week but the narrow toe of the last version cost me several toenails. I switched to the men’s version and had a much better experience. But this year’s model runs a half size larger and I have to get creative in lacing to make them work. Nike sizing is so inconsistent, I definitely recommend ordering several pairs and finding the the right ones that fit. I tried my previous pair the other day (same size) and they fit perfectly so the new version is definitely running large.

The tongue is sewn into both sides of the lace-up area (not freely moveable). So not easy to slide the foot into the shoe. Liked the color & style but sadly had to return.

My son plays tennis with these shoes and he says they are perfect! He loves everything about them. The comfort, style and how light they feel.

Good fit

This is a tennis shoe that I bought for fencing. I have some foot pain problems and find straight up fencing shoes don't have enough cushion or support. This shoe has a little more support and the liner wraps your foot with no tongue so it feels like it is a part of my foot. It is low to the floor yet provides as much cushion as many other volleyball shoes I have tried in the past. The most comfortable and "connected" shoe I have ever worn.

I love the style and color of the sneaker,love nike sneakers

I liked em.

I am a female but wanted these anyway. I am a true 8 in women’s and ordered a 7. Perfect fit. Not the easiest to put on but felt great playing in.

Beware that the black and white shoes have a floral looking design. My son would not wear them!

good support and comfortable but too narrow

strange tongue that is attached to shoe so that putting them on is a real squeeze. otherwise, seemed to fit well.

I am a woman. I chose this shoe because it didn't look like a man's shoe. Nike blew it by making the tongue all one piece with the shoe. You can't pull it up to get your foot in the shoe! It's very difficult to squeeze your foot inside. What were they thinking! If not for that, I think it might be a nice shoe. I don't know though because I couldn't get my foot in it!

shoe is narrow and hard to put on. feel smaller then indicated size.

Shoes looked great, but fit terribly Felt much smaller than 14. My toes touched the end and the balls of my feet spilled over the sole. I'm normally a 14 regular

They are narrow and the tongue is part of the shoe so it’s a bit difficult to get your foot in. Also the plastic net design is basically ugly. I will return the shoe.

I bought these less than 1 year ago and the soles are already wearing out in the front. These shoes are too expensive for such low quality.

Horrible fit. Very uncomfortable shoe.

I play competitive tennis on hard court 2 or 3 times per week. I have been wearing the Nike Zoom Cage 2's for a few years and they were, by far, best shoes I have ever used. They had nice cushioning, super stability, and great ankle support. I was sad to see they were discontinued, but I decided to try the newer ZC-3 model. Worst hour and 15 minutes of my tennis life. No cushioning, no stability, and less ankle support. They were a new adventure in pain and poor movement on the court. It is a joke that Nike calls these tennis shoes and sells for $130. They are barely sufficient for a leisurely walk in the park. If you were a fan of the Zoom Cage 2 (I know many people who are) STAY AWAY FROM THESE!!! Thanks to Zappo's great service for agreeing to a return after I tried them on the tennis court!
