Customer Reviews Nike Air Zoom Vapor X

This shoe was one of the best that I found when considering all of my criteria. I needed a shoe that held my foot snug because of the side to side movements in tennis and this shoe delivered. I felt grounded and stable. I tried other shoes that had a “sock” like fit that were comforatble, but my foot was sliding around too much. The Nike Air Zoom Vapor X could use a little more arch support, but gets raving reviews for low profile, comfort, holding my foot snug and great looking too! I also didn’t want a “white” shoe, but I also didn’t want a “bright” shoe... this color and style was perfect. I wear an 8 in most shoes, but with this brand I almost always wear an 8.5.

I love these shoes. I’m not sure if it’s because these are for tennis or what - but I normally am a size 8 shoe because I have Barney Rubble wide feet but ALWAYS get Nike tennis shoes a half size smaller and they are PERFECT. I use these for tennis only, and find the support to be great and love this color combo. I have broken an ankle in the past - so I love how supportive and stable these are.

Just received the shoes. Although they look good, the plastic in the arch of the shoe scratches the foot and is uncomfortable. Have to return.

Very happy! I finally found a court shoe that doesn’t irritate the bunion in my big toe.

A few warnings: these run at least a half size small. I wear 8.5 in my older Nike tennis sneakers, and needed a 9 in these. The other problem is the laces. They are so short it's difficult to tie the shoe, and they are difficult to adjust. That said, once I got the fit dialed in and the laces adjusted (after several minutes of struggling per shoe), they are the most comfortable tennis sneaker I have ever owned. I didn't think my feet could be anything but angry with me when I play tennis, but with these sneakers, Superfeet Carbon insoles and NikeCourt Essentials No Show socks, my feet are actually happy. It's such a strange feeling to play without pain, and without blisters.

Love the peach/black combo. Purchased a matching Nike hat to match. The shoes are super comfy-- the first few times, they are pretty stiff. If you can stick it out through the first 2-3 wears, they become a lot more flexible and provide great ankle and arch support.

I bought these shoes as a treat to myself. I just use these for outdoor walking. They’re heavy and stiff. I actually ripped my cuticle trying to shove my foot in. I feel weird walking in them, like my posture is off. I have a high arch and this shoes doesn’t support it very well. They’re not very flexible at all.

Well I have a wide foot and Nike shoes have always run narrow for me. I tried a Nike running shoe at a local store and going up a half size fit. So I thought this court shoe would also fit if I ordered a half size up. But they are pretty stiff, difficult to loosen and get your foot in, and ran narrow. Disappointed to have to return these.

I used my own insole because the existing insole scratched my foot. In addition i got a blister in the inner edge of my arch because there seemed to be some metal on the inner edge of the shoe. I had to place moleskin on the upper edge of the shoe because it scratched the ankle bone. I purchased this at a store and wore it on court so it could not be replaced. I plan to keep using the shoe to see if these problems go away after extended use. Despite these problems I seem to move well on the pickle ball court with these shoes.

These were very wide and very long. Maybe a full 2 sizes too long. I have fit NIke well for a long time. For tennis, very long toe box can trip up the player during serve and stop and start. The Wilson shoes were more true to size this time.

My tennis pals are SO jealous that I got this shoes ! I have been showered with compliments... and my game is really up ! It’s so comfortable, just a perfect fit, steady grab of the ground so I could move faster and well balanced. A great support for my movements, and yes it looks so cute ??????

Worth the extra $. Comfy fit, especially around front of foot and at the ankle where the laces tie.

This Nike shoe is true to fit. My problem with the shoe is the lace enforcement pieces have with gaps in areas and also come up to high to the ankle area cutting in. I play mostly clay courts and I believe those gaps would just fill with clay.

Loved the overall fit of shoe however the outside edge rubs on ankle bone so needed to return.

Sometimes I feel Nike runs a little short but these feel true to size. I bought them for outdoor pickleball. They're comfortable and flexible - not stiff like many outdoor court shoes.

I wore these from the box to the courts with no problems: no hot spots, blisters, pinching, etc. Good support, very comfortable. Ordering another pair.

Love how sturdy these shoes are. Worked great for my orange theory workout today. Fit just fine. I am a size 6 and I go up half a size since I have wider feet to give them room when they swell a little when I go workout.

Zappos is the best

These definitely run large, even in comparison to other Nike shoes. And listen to the other reviews that say the laces are extremely short. I can't double knot these at all. But otherwise very comfortable and I love the way they look

Very cute shoes but very uncomfortable.

I loved the look and feel of these shoes right out of the box. Great cushioning and support. Usually I find Nike runs a half size small, so I ordered a 6.5 instead of my usual 6.0. Fit was great for me. Toebox had the room I need. Sadly these are going back because the laces are way too short. You can barely tie them. I don't want to pay this much for a shoe and then have to replace the laces with ones that don't match.

I've worn a few pairs of the Vapor 9.5s to play tennis. I purchased these Vapor X thinking they would fit the same. I wore them one time on the court and I kept hitting the side of my big toe while playing. That obviously isn't going to work. I've read from other reviews also that they toe box was narrowed. So I've paid a pretty price for shoes that I've worn once and now I need to go find new tennis sneakers since the 9.5s were my favorites for years. I wish Nike didn't change the design of the toe box. Buyer beware if you loved the 9.5s.

Color literally made me nauseous. Not a blush but a sickly pinky orange.

As usual, I order a half size larger for Nike shoes. They fit well and are comfortable and prefect for tennis

Great in all aspects except shoe laces too short. Purchased 54” separately.
