Yonex Eclipsion 4
What we love: The Power Cushion Eclipsion 4 is designed to withstand the most aggressive movements on the court, while maintaining the comfort needed for the long grinding matches. These shoes are going to be an excellent choice for players who will put their shoes to the test. The Endurance Rubber compound will provide excellent durability with the addition of high-density rubber in key wear areas, while the PU protective cage provides solid stability on lateral pivots.

adidas Barricade
What we love: When thinking of durable tennis shoes, it wouldn't be surprising if Barricade was the first model to pop into mind. After being absent for a few seasons, the Barricade is back, and according to our playtesters, it hasn't lost any ground when it comes to durability. Although lighter than previous models, the Barricade held up to hours of grinding on the hard courts.
