While the 2020 Pro Staff Classic re-release may be a lovely looking shoe, that, I am afraid, is where all the praise ends. Firstly, the Duralast version of this sole is far to soft, and will wear through in a very short time, except perhaps on clay, but Wilson advertises it as an all-court shoe. Secondly, the mid-sole material is ridiculously soft for any sort of performance shoe. I've rarely ever had a pair of running shoes that felt so soft, nor would I want them too. A mid-sole this soft could well be a cause for possible injury during the quick start and stop nature of racquet sports in general. Thirdly, the plain, almost entirely flat, cushion insole is really a bit of a joke, when it comes to what one would expect in anything remotely approaching a performance shoe, and Wilson even had the nerve to attach an advertising hangar to the shoe mentioning it. It adds even more cushioning, which is not remotely required, and offers no arch support whatsoever. Fourthly, those who have complained about the short tongue are absolutely correct. It just barely reached above my top laces (after lots of pulling on it), and I have a relatively low volume foot. I had thought about saving them only for occasional tournament matches, but after seeing just how soft both the out-sole and mid-sole are I am not sure even that would be a safe option. The only reason I will likely keep them is to occasionally wear them as a casual fashion shoe. These should have only been distributed through companies like Foot-Locker, who have up selling serious sports footwear a long time ago, and now only sell fashionable look-a-likes, with no performance value what-so-ever, at outrageous prices. Wilson really sold out when they re-released this version of the Pro Staff Classic.
