Perfect Pair of Women’s Tennis Shoes

Yulia Putintseva endorses one of my personal favorites, the K-Swiss Hypercourt Express 2 Womens Tennis Shoes. This K-Swiss model is durable, has a generous toe box, and comes in a rainbow of colorways. K-Swiss has also partnered with Lucky In Love to create exclusive products, like their newest "Sunset Spin" Collection, which is sure to be a best-seller!

Marta Kostyuk is a right handed, 22 year old who has been a Wilson Ambassador since 2023. She is one of the first WTA athletes to sign a head-to-toe deal with Wilson, which includes tennis rackets, apparel, and footwear. Her favorite is the Wilson Rush Pro Lite Womens Tennis Shoes. They fit true to size, have a slightly lower arch, and little to no break in period. Although this shoe is considered a high-performance court shoe, it’s priced under $90.

Jumping up the leaderboard to No. 9 in the world, we find America’s sweetheart, Emma Navarro. Emma wears Fila’s shoes and is partial to the Fila Axilus 3 Energized Womens Tennis Shoes. With her classic tennis strokes and petite physique, she harnesses Fila’s heel stabilizer and TMS abrasion guard to optimize her movements on the court. Emma’s game is super strategic and all about her multi-directional footwork. The Axilus’ have helped to line her up for better shot selections and contributed to her elevated ranking. Besides, they’re the least expensive shoes on this list.

Elena Rybakina is one of the tallest players on the WTA. At 6'0" she endorses Yonex, and wears the Yonex AD-ACCEL Womens Tennis Shoes. Engineered for speed and agility, these shoes were made for quick attacks on the court. They’re ideal for intermediate to advanced players looking to outperform the competition, which might explain how Elena has not only maintained, but improved her ranking since joining the Yonex family in mid 2023.

Another American pro, Jess Pegula, backs Adidas. The 30 year old wears the adidas Barricade 13 Womens Tennis Shoes, which is one of the most popular brands on tour. Identified as a lightweight, breathable shoe, the Barricades offer responsive cushioning, unwavering stability, and superior traction. Plus, they’re incredibly durable, come in some lovely colorways, and are crafted using at least 20% recycled materials.

One of the shortest players on the tour is Jasmine Paolini. At 5’4” Jasmine experienced a breakout year in 2024 wearing the Asics Gel Resolution 9 Womens Tennis Shoe. While they run more narrow than most, the Gel Resolutions offer an advanced stability and cushioning system for players who like to control the game from the baseline. ATP pros like Novak Djokovic and Chris Eubanks also endorse Asics.

Another extraordinary American athlete, Coco Guaff, wears her signature New Balance Coco CG2 Womens Tennis Shoe. Collaborating with New Balance, the soon to be 21 year old used her family's love of basketball to perfect a shoe that blends performance and style. Casually referred to as a high top tennis shoe for tennis, this second gen has a new, low-poly design to offer athletes more precise movements than ever before. The CG2’s have a robust toe guard, top-tier underfoot technology, and an outsole guarantee. Competitively priced around $150, they are now available in medium and wide width.

Toggling between the number one and two spots during the past four years, Aryna Sabalenka has been devoted to Nike tennis shoes since the start of her WTA career in 2015. She’s worn various styles including Nike Court Zoom Vapor 11 shoes, designed for her incredible speed. She’s also worn the Nike React Vapor NXT’s and the Nike Zoom GP Challenge 1, which is one of Nike’s heavier tennis shoes for women. Aryna was wearing the Nike Court Zoom NXT shoes when she won the 2025 Australian Open and credits Nike shoes for helping prevent injuries and giving her confidence on the court.
