Detailed Review
The design of the adidas Women's Avacourt Sneaker is one of its standout features. The lightweight mesh ensures breathability while providing enough support for all-day wear on the tennis court.
When it comes to cushioning and support, the BOUNCE PRO midsole strikes an ideal balance between softness and responsiveness. You can expect a comfortable ride that helps absorb impact during intense games, making those lengthy matches less daunting.
In terms of durability, the ADTUFF toe protection is a significant advantage. It effectively shields your feet from abrasions that may occur during aggressive movements like serving and volleying.
Another important aspect to consider is the environmental impact. With at least 50% of the upper made from recycled materials, the Avacourt sneaker represents adidas's commitment to sustainability, allowing you to make an eco-conscious choice without compromising quality.
However, one must note that these sneakers are not water-resistant, which could be a disadvantage if you often play in wet conditions. Additionally, some users report needing a short break-in period for the best fit.

User Reviews
I love the way Adidas tennis shoes fit my feet, and these Avacourt shoes are no exception. They provide good support and cushioning for all the ways my feet move on the tennis court. The styling is a bit odd -- they look like that are covered with clear plastic in places -- but I quickly got used to that.I wear between an 8.5 and a 9, depending on the brand and type of socks I'm wearing. Because I tend to wear thicker, Thorlo socks for tennis, the 9 fits well. (I tend to wear a 9 in Adidas tennis shoes, although sometimes I encounter a model that's too big.) The first time I wore these, I forgot that I was wearing new shoes. They did not stick to the court or have uncomfortable pressure points.-- Debbie Lee Wesselmann
Best Tennis shoe I have owned hands down. Has the best grip on hard court surfaces!! However a bit snug for the first time use. Just needs to be broken in. Really no major complaints about this shoe.
They run a bit wide but are comfortable from first use. The shoe tongue is a bit long & high and irritates the ankle so higher socks are recommended.
My daughter plays tennis and these have been great court shoes for her. They look great too. Very glad we found them here so we didn’t have to try multiple shoe stores!
I love the color and always purchase adidas. These were very disappointing. The laces begin too high on the toe box and too far from the tip of the shoe making it impossible to tighten the shoe around the ball of foot and toes. I am a solid size 10 woman’s, but the 10 was too short and the 10.5 was the perfect length but way too roomy in width. They also look and feel large and clunky. I bought them for hard court tennis because I’ve had great success with adidas and this style for years in the past.
I love these shoes.I have a narrow heel but a large big toe and my toenail points upward and high instep and arch. I don't necessarily need a "wide" toe box but I needed one that "high enough" to accommodate my toe/toe nail.I tried Yonex, Asics, Wilson, and Babolat shoes over the course of 6-12 months. With all these, my big toe would go numb, or my ankles would move around, or they did not provide the torsional stiffness I needed to move side to side confidently.These Avacourts worked beautifully! I am getting my 2nd pair and I may just stock up in case they stop making them. I was skeptical of the design but the functionality is superb! I have them in the yellow and get lots of compliments.
Good for aggressive court movers. Breathable. Pleased so far. If you expect white mesh to stay clean, give up the dream and enjoy your clay. Let's be reasonable with expectation! True to size. Some reviewers had trouble with the tongue rubbing but it did not bother my foot or ankle after hours playing.
Wanted to like these but didn't wear them around the house first before playing. They are comfy and help a lot with stability but the tongue is so long it rubs on my ankle and created a raw spot after only 3 games of Pickleball. The tongue is also not padded and the edge of it is rough adding to the problem! I will have to try higher socks but this is a real disappointment. I cannot return them since I wore them already. Weird they would make this obvious design flaw.
