Customer Review: Great shoe for bad ankles
Having tried myriad different tennis shoes over the years, I’ve struggled to find any that I could feel confident would protect my ankle. Most shoes salespeople I talked to wanted to put me in high tops, wides with extra cushion, “support shoes” etc etc. What I found was that my ankle still rolled under duress when playing. It got so bad that I gave up tennis for past 10 years. the last time I tried to play (about 4 years ago) I rolled my ankle (again)and experienced “peroneal subluxation” which became chronic.
Getting the bug to play again, I decided to read up on foot physiology. What I finally figured out is that cushion, padding, high tops all contributed to my problem by allowing too much freedom for my foot to move under stress within the shoes.
The CT1003 is not a super cushioning shoe but what it does is lock down my foot very comfortably, provide very good support under stress and almost eliminates the snap that comes with “peroneal subluxation”. So good in fact, that I’m wearing them when I’m not playing tennis and throwing out all my other shoes to find everyday shoes that fit like they do. The NLock is awesome, it truly provides great support without binding and cutting off circulation. New Balance deserves a Nobel for this, why it hadn’t been invented before I don’t know but it works for me. I was faced with surgery, now I realize the right shoes really can make a difference.
Don’t let salespeople put you in shoes just so they’re comfortable when you leave. The CT1003 took a few days of wearing around town before they broke in, I was worried they were too narrow but once they wore in a bit they are perfect.
Get a good fit and definitely try on these shoes if you have ankle problems.
Thank you New Balance.
