Bought these shoes late spring based on your recommendation and I agree with everything in this video. Played yesterday and I thought to myself that it’s amazing they still feel springy and quick. Really love these shoes and I would never have even considered them if it weren’t for you doc. So thank you! My only hope for the next iteration is a bit more ventilation maybe but really I have no complaints
I got a pair of the GP turbo. As a sufferer of foot pain, and playing outdoors in the cold, I’m trying yet another shoe. My Gel Res 8 were not cutting it in the cold. Just want to thank Zach for all the great reviews! I have a relatively wide foot and toe box and in some shoes I can fit a size 10. I got the GP turbo in a 10.5 and swapped out the new thick insoles for thinner ones while the shoe is new. This has to be the most comfortable shoe I’ve played in at this phase of play. If they break in at all in the forefoot it will be a bonus. The heel is big so I may have to lace them specially to keep the heel in the shoe.
@@devinedude3690 Yeah I didn't believe until my old Zoom Vapors broke at 22 months the end of last year. No issue refund. I did buy them direct so it might help.
I am not sure that this is always the case. I did ask this question directly and got the answer that “burning a hole” is a normal wear and the shoes cannot be returned for the refund even during the first 6 month. And unlike in the USA, there is no such thing like “six months outsole warranty” at all for any shoes sold in Europe. But I managed to return Mizuno WET 4AG after burning the outsole in 5 months, but it was popular non tennis online retailer.
@@villiam7941 in the first 6 months in EU you can return any item that experiences a defect, they cannot refuse. The first 6 months it is up to the manufacturer (via retailer) to prove its an extra ordinary reason, after 6 months through 24 you need to prove the defect and it's dealt directly by manufacturer - using shoes and then wearing through in normal use in 6 months is not exceptional. Know you rights (UK you can push this to 5 years but gets to be a pain).
Hi Zach, really appreciate this follow-up review on the GP Turbo. I experienced the midsole bottoming out after about 6 months. Stopped using it as it felt unstable. Luckily I was able to find a new pair in my size.
Bought me a pair a couple of weeks thanks to your video on them a while back and they've been great. Definitely way better for tennis than the worn out vans I've been using haha
Nike has replaced the GP Turbo with the new NikeCourt Zoom Nxt. I am very interested to see a review on this shoe to see if it is comparable to the GP Turbo but perhaps a bit more stable. When can we expect a review Zach?
Hi Zach, I’m looking to order a pair of the Nike GP turbos and Yonex eclipsion 3’s, however I mainly play synthetic grass with a bit of sand and occasionally on indoor carpet. Should I go for the all court/HC versions or the clay court versions? Look forward to your feedback, many thanks.
I own a pair of these and have broken them in. When new the toe box felt quite tight (like my toes couldn't move too much), however this soften up and it was fine. The tongue padding didn't last long, at first it was really comfortable but it's not so cushiony anymore, although it still feels ok. My biggest issue is I am starting to get heel pain after playing tennis with this shoe. The back of the shoe is too soft, I feel that it needs some reinforcement at the back of the shoes so that it holds its shape a bit more. I'm also getting a bit of heel slippage so I tried wearing two pairs of socks but this didn't really fix the problem. Making the lace tighter also didn't solve this problem.
Could also be your foot type just doesn’t mesh well with the lacing system/ heel counter which is interesting because these have the highest counter out there right now
@@FootDoctorZach yeah it's interesting, when I switch back to my other shoes (I've got 6 pairs that I rotate through) e.g. Vapor X, Vapor 9.5, 2016 Adidas Barricade and don't have the same problem
After seeing your initial review video I purchased those 1,5 month ago, as my first true tennis shoe (until then I was playing wearing running shoes) and I can verify is one of the best investments I have ever made. I feel "faster" in the court and like my reactions have improved a lot. Also easier to change directions and having a more alive feeling when playing or training wearing those. Thank you for the excellent reviews you are doing, keep it up!!!!
I just bought a pair of these, hopefully they get delivered soon. I was also interested in the new balance x ct rally. I have knee pain when playing tennis and sprained my ankle 6 months ago and it still bothers me. Do you recommend that I need a plush and stable shoe to combat these issues? Thanks in advance.
I used these shoes for 2 years after seeing this review, it was really comfortable and played for 2 years without any problem. But considering Nike disconnected this model, please suggest a better with similar cushioning and confirmable shoes for around 2 to 5 hours of play per day. Thank you in advance.
yeah i want to get all the flagships in this series, just tough on timing because how long it takes to actually get someone i know to play in them then produce the content
As a doctor who tests out prototype shoes, could you possibly do a video on the old Wilson glides, and thought they were a interesting show, I doubt you could find a pair but a review or a short might be interesting
I am going to get my GP Turbo this weekend thanks to your suggestion earlier. Whenever I buy tennis shoes, I wonder how long they will last and I try to buy a second pair just in case. This video answers that question for me. Thanks
Wow you talking about these shoes after 4 months makes me feel bad for what I might have done to my body wearing the same pair of sneakers every day for 2+ years 😭 ps. Love your videos!
Goooood question - I thought it was the same shoes so I wasn’t going to but there’s one that I’ve tried recently who’s video is coming up that would break into that list so I may have to
Can you makr a video on the best shoe in longevity cushion/performance. I find that outsoles last longer but cushion and midsoles bottom out faster on my tennis shoes
That’s what this series is aiming to do, won’t have complete data until I do a bunch but it takes time for a long haul wear test on a midsole so hopefully I can get these out at a decent clip to make a good top 5
Thanks so much for the informative reviews, Dr. Zach! Do you know if there any basketball shoes similar to the Zoom GP Turbo's? I bought the Lav v2's and Blushield Torneo's and they are no where near as cushioned as the GP Turbo...
Thank you for helping me find my favorite shoes. Any recommendations to help washing/cleaning the shoes? I been using the shoes for 2 months and they are developing a pretty bad stink.
hey Doc, i was curious seeing this video - maybe you explained this somewhere else and i didn't see it yet - what are the repercussions of playing with an old tennis shoe? For ex. i have these really old Zoom Cage 3s - bought them in 2018, played them on hard courts, clay courts etc for many many hours; outsole is worn out quite a bit but still wearable. I'm not a hefty guy, weighting about 63 kilos. The question is: do i risk damaging my joints by playing with these shoes? They are my go-to tournament shoes; sometimes i feel some discomfort on the knees after playing over 3-4h in them. Compared to other newer shoes i have (Vapor Cage 4) i don't have the same level of discomfort after 3+ hours on the court.
Yeah I talk about it a bit in my when to throw away your shoes video but wearing older shoes increases the shock because the midsole hardens and loses its shock absorption so it’s better to stay relatively current with performance sneakers
Coming from basketball, starting tennis a year and a half ago, bought these shoes hoping for cushioning. After months of trying everything all I got is pain with these. Too narrow. Heel bruise. I even tried orthopedic insoles. How is everyone so enchanted with this model ??
@@FootDoctorZach what do you actually recommend for a heavy hitter that wants cushioning and a widish platform and is accustomed to nike lebron air max sneakers ?
It was really a great outdoor basketball shoe for me, but at this point after 8 months mine are balled and the zoom is bottoming out and yes they make a lot of noise when I run…time for a new pair😁
I have these and I don't like them. They are bulky and I feel very slow in them. Also the ones that are white look dirty after not long. I prefer the Asics gel resolution.
Doc, I got a question. I bought the solution speed ff2 for outdoor basketball. Love everything about it but, that's almost no cushion and my knees are not thanking me playing on concrete with these shoes. What other tennis shoes would have the absolute most amount of cushion I could use for outdoor basketball?
Hi! I was very disappointed with these tennis shoes...I never felt really comfortable on my feet. Even after several hours they always feel tight ahead. But the worst part was that thanks to them I had a small plantar fasciitis and I had to stop using them. OOf course, this could all be the fault of the foot type. The only good thing I think they have is the Achilles tendon support. Thanks for the video!
@@FootDoctorZach Hi! Please, I need your advice. As I told you the Turbos caused me an injury. My physiotherapist tells me it's not plantar fasciitis but a inflammation on the outside of the foot. Given the pain zone, he hypothesized that since the Turbos squeeze me a little over my fingers was what facilitated the injury. The advice I need is to show me a tennis shoe that reduced the pressure on the outside of the foot. I am currently using Babolat Jet Mach3. Thank you!
The widest shoes out there are the SoleCourt boosts snd the wide versions of the NB but I honestly can’t give you specific advice on medical issues without examining and seeing your foot shape but I have a video that can help steer you in the right direction th-cam.com/video/sqn8k3tVl6c/w-d-xo.html
Dr. Z - love your vids - thanks for all that you do. I tell all my tennis friends to check out your vids. I have been using the Nike Air Zoom Vapor Cage 4's and they are hurting my right foot outside of the pinky toe (side) - I feel it's being squeezed a bit even though it feels fine when I put them on. After 40 minutes I need to take that shoe off and put in back on as it hurts too much. Needless to say, I have to buy another pair of tennis shoes and have narrowed it down to Nike GP Turbo's and Diadora Blushield Torneo's based on your vids. I only need a bit more room in the toe box than the Vapor Cage's. I think the Solecourt Boost had maybe a bit too much room. Which of the two has more room in the toe box? My feet aren't wide or narrow - pretty standard. Thanks in advance! Steve
@@FootDoctorZach I was cramping in the Vapor Cage 4s on my upper right foot (outside). I watched your vid on that shoe - seems it is possible the tongue that is attached could be causing this? I would have to remove my shoe and then put it back on and I'd be fine for another 20 minutes - weird.
Based on this review, it appears that the medial support broke down the most in the shoe over time, making them an even worse choice for over-pronators? Is that a fair statement?
All tennis shoes do this after wear- it’s the first place to see failure- only ones I’ve seen remotely not do this is the SoleCourt boost but I still like the GP turbo for overpronation just not a heavily used pair
Hey Zach! Are you good? Nice work as always, I’m a fan! Have been rocking with you for a while! Thanks for the great content! I play basketball and have bought the Zoom GP Turbo after your review and videos of best shoes for outdoor basketball! I would like to ask if you think I can play without the insole to feel the zoom more, or you think is better and less risky to play with it?
Hi Doc. I'm a beginner/reactional player with a naturally flat wide foot and am torn between the 1) Nike Vapor Pro 2) Nike React Vapor Nxt, 3) Nike GP Turbo. What would you recommend for me? How would these nike shoes compare w/ Asics Gel Resolution 8? Thank you.
None are made wide but GP turbo is best for flat- I’d check this video out if you want a more detailed breakdown th-cam.com/video/Y0FitApDvEA/w-d-xo.html
Does anyone know if there is a Nike running shoe that has the same double zoom unit? I love the feel of gp turbos but found the outsole wore out Hella fast and didn't have the grip for tennis. Repurposed for running and love the cushion for that purpose
I've been wearing the vapor X's the past year, and have big toe joint pain. It goes away the next day, but after a match my toe is very sore. Is there a nike shoe you would recommend that prevents big toe join pain? I was looking at the Rafa's.
Can't find the gp turbos anywhere. However gp turbos are available for women. Can i use them in larger size? Is there any difference in men vs women gp turbos?
Hey Doc,would Superfeet Flex insoles fit inside ubersonic 4's,would I have to remove the original insole? Or should I buy the Superfeet Flexslim,would those fit with the original insole still in? Is there possibly another insole you would suggest,looking to add comfort to the ubersonic 4 forefoot,medium width/normal arch foot.
I always take the insole out unless it’s a half length orthotic which I never recommend to my patients - I like superfeet, also powerstep, just comes down to what feels best on your foot
@@FootDoctorZach I looked up powerstep, I think I'm gonna try out the breeze..which ones have you tried? I see u hitting off a wall on concrete,does it wear out the undersole playing on floor like that other than a tennis court? I'm asking cause I have no tennis wall around me to practice in hours no one's available and I don't wanna destroy my tennis shoes.
Unpainted will wear them out faster but I’ve not had an issue on blacktop- I’d say just a bit more wear than a tennis court surface - I use the powerstep pinnacle max
Great video, as always. What's your favorite shoe with an outsole guarantee? As expensive as shoes are getting, it's hard to keep spending for soles that don't last long.
I honestly don’t know who all offers them ATM- probably the court ff2 if they’re still offering the guarantee- I know it’s gotten a bit screwed up with the rona and labor shortage so some of the guarantees aren’t being fulfilled so I’m told
Hey doc! Currently playing with asics court ff 2, but I have some darn flat feet and have been thinking about changing to something with better arch support. Do you believe this shoes would be a better fit for me? Or would you recommend something else? Thankss
Hey Doc! Love the videos man. I just wanted to inquire about a problem I’ve had over the years. So I always have worn Nikes (Cage 2, Cage 3 which were the best) and am now using the Vapor NXT. I’ve had then for maybe 6-8 months now and they play great, it’s just that the comfort has never been tip-top. This was the same when trying out a pair of Vapor X Knit which were sent back very quickly after not being able to walk post-matches. It is also worth noting that I wear a size 9 in casual shoes but wear a 9.5 in tennis shoes. I guess my question would be: am I purchasing the wrong shoe? Is this the type of shoe I need? Thanks a whole bunch- Ian
These are the most cushioned and comfortable Nike shoe I can recall, and I have worn a few over the last 40 years. For me, if cushioning is what you seek, this is the best shoe on the market.
Thank you, I’m not surprised the knits bother you- IMO the vapor NXT isn’t the most reliable shoe but yeah as Mark said these are second to none when it comes to comfort and cushion - they’re my #1 Nike for sure even more than cage 3 which is a classic
@@FootDoctorZach thanks so much for your guidance! I now can say that I am the proud owner of a pair of GP Turbos and WOW, I couldn’t be more impressed. I played this morning for the first time for over two hours and with any other shoe I’ve had in the past, I would barely be able to walk after that initial session. The arches of my feet would be screaming. However, after wearing the Turbos I felt INCREDIBLE! The old-school tongue, the support, the cushion, and most of all, the Zoom unit, make these a true “step-in comfort” shoe. For anyone reading this comment who is looking for a tennis shoe that is ACTUALLY comfortable, look no further and go buy this shoe! Thanks again- Ian
I hope you wore condoms on your feet re-wearing those lol. Great shoe but ventilation is so bad. Just played 3 hours in them and the weight was up 40% from wetness 😂
How I modified the Vapor NXT using GP Turbo Parts: th-cam.com/video/vHD-CAtG3nM/w-d-xo.html
"squeak... a _lot._ " Can confirm.
Age is not kind to these shoes. But they are still very bouncy, very propulsive.
Bought these shoes late spring based on your recommendation and I agree with everything in this video. Played yesterday and I thought to myself that it’s amazing they still feel springy and quick. Really love these shoes and I would never have even considered them if it weren’t for you doc. So thank you!

Awesome! Glad you’re getting good use out of them- yeah some air channels in the forefoot would be a huge upgrade

I just got a new pair of these and weighed my decision heavily on your reviews/comparisons. Really great to see this follow-up video!
Hope they work out for you! I’ve had a blast in them

I play in clay soles with any carpet or artificial grass
What size? I just got an 8.5 that’s too small for me

It’s more risky and it’ll also build up some static and stink the shoe up/ some people so though and like it- definitely not for me though
Hi Doc. I'm a beginner/reactional player with a naturally flat wide foot and am torn between the 1) Nike Vapor Pro 2) Nike React Vapor Nxt, 3) Nike GP Turbo. What would you recommend for me? How would these nike shoes compare w/ Asics Gel Resolution 8? Thank you.
None are made wide but GP turbo is best for flat- I’d check this video out if you want a more detailed breakdown th-cam.com/video/Y0FitApDvEA/w-d-xo.html
Thank you! I noticed that Gel Resolution 8 is also on the list for flat feet. Would you recommend the Gel Resolution 8/GP Turbo?
Does anyone know if there is a Nike running shoe that has the same double zoom unit? I love the feel of gp turbos but found the outsole wore out Hella fast and didn't have the grip for tennis. Repurposed for running and love the cushion for that purpose
I've been wearing the vapor X's the past year, and have big toe joint pain. It goes away the next day, but after a match my toe is very sore. Is there a nike shoe you would recommend that prevents big toe join pain? I was looking at the Rafa's.
I’d consult a local doc before looking into different shoes could be something internal vs the shoe
Can't find the gp turbos anywhere. However gp turbos are available for women. Can i use them in larger size? Is there any difference in men vs women gp turbos?

I am currently suffering from Plantar Fasciitis. I am using Asics Gel Resolution 8 . Will these shoes help to reduce plantar fasciitis pain?
Depends on your foot type -You can check out this video th-cam.com/video/Y0FitApDvEA/w-d-xo.html
Hey Doc,would Superfeet Flex insoles fit inside ubersonic 4's,would I have to remove the original insole? Or should I buy the Superfeet Flexslim,would those fit with the original insole still in?
Is there possibly another insole you would suggest,looking to add comfort to the ubersonic 4 forefoot,medium width/normal arch foot.
I always take the insole out unless it’s a half length orthotic which I never recommend to my patients - I like superfeet, also powerstep, just comes down to what feels best on your foot
@@FootDoctorZach I looked up powerstep, I think I'm gonna try out the breeze..which ones have you tried?
I see u hitting off a wall on concrete,does it wear out the undersole playing on floor like that other than a tennis court?
I'm asking cause I have no tennis wall around me to practice in hours no one's available and I don't wanna destroy my tennis shoes.
Unpainted will wear them out faster but I’ve not had an issue on blacktop- I’d say just a bit more wear than a tennis court surface - I use the powerstep pinnacle max
Great video, as always. What's your favorite shoe with an outsole guarantee? As expensive as shoes are getting, it's hard to keep spending for soles that don't last long.
I honestly don’t know who all offers them ATM- probably the court ff2 if they’re still offering the guarantee- I know it’s gotten a bit screwed up with the rona and labor shortage so some of the guarantees aren’t being fulfilled so I’m told
@@FootDoctorZach Ah bummer. I guess I'll stick to the Eclipsions then. No sole guarantee, but they hold up pretty well! Thanks for the reply.
Wow! So good! :)
Glad you got something out of it!
@@FootDoctorZach yes, I ordered those shoes! Looking forward to test them during a tournament coming up 🆙💪🤩🆙🚀🔜🎯
👍👍👍
So i guess a person that plays and avg. 3 times a week could get a good 6 to 7 month from them. Greta video Doc.
Depends on weight and foot type but yeah the less you play the longer theyll go
@@FootDoctorZach i think this series of videos could be the most important of them all. Thanks Doc. Your giving us a priceless service!!!
Thank you- hopefully I’ll get some more coming in quicker - takes a ton of time to do this series
what other tennis shoes have a similar responsiveness and bounciness as these?
Responsiveness - lotto mirage , bounce - none
Foot Doctor Zach thanks doc!
Hey doc! Currently playing with asics court ff 2, but I have some darn flat feet and have been thinking about changing to something with better arch support. Do you believe this shoes would be a better fit for me? Or would you recommend something else? Thankss
These have good support as do the lottos and the adidas solecourt boost but it’s all what feels best for your individual foot
Zoom in tennis shoe is the way to go.
Yup
Why did they stop making them do you know?
I wish i did so i could go back in time and stop them from discontinuing the line
@@FootDoctorZach same! I have one pair on ice but just switched to the cg1 all because of your review! Thanks for the vids 🤙🙌🎾
Adidas Solecourt Boost 4 Months Of Use?!
I’d love to but I think the SCB is going to be discontinued if I’m reading the tea leafs correctly - hopefully I’m wrong
Can you slide with it?
Yep just watch the uppers
My feet hurt so much because of these shoes I donated them to charity lol
Lol- hopefully someone got some good use outa them
Hey Doc! Love the videos man. I just wanted to inquire about a problem I’ve had over the years. So I always have worn Nikes (Cage 2, Cage 3 which were the best) and am now using the Vapor NXT. I’ve had then for maybe 6-8 months now and they play great, it’s just that the comfort has never been tip-top. This was the same when trying out a pair of Vapor X Knit which were sent back very quickly after not being able to walk post-matches. It is also worth noting that I wear a size 9 in casual shoes but wear a 9.5 in tennis shoes. I guess my question would be: am I purchasing the wrong shoe? Is this the type of shoe I need? Thanks a whole bunch- Ian
These are the most cushioned and comfortable Nike shoe I can recall, and I have worn a few over the last 40 years. For me, if cushioning is what you seek, this is the best shoe on the market.
Thank you, I’m not surprised the knits bother you- IMO the vapor NXT isn’t the most reliable shoe but yeah as Mark said these are second to none when it comes to comfort and cushion - they’re my #1 Nike for sure even more than cage 3 which is a classic
@@FootDoctorZach thanks so much for your guidance! I now can say that I am the proud owner of a pair of GP Turbos and WOW, I couldn’t be more impressed. I played this morning for the first time for over two hours and with any other shoe I’ve had in the past, I would barely be able to walk after that initial session. The arches of my feet would be screaming. However, after wearing the Turbos I felt INCREDIBLE! The old-school tongue, the support, the cushion, and most of all, the Zoom unit, make these a true “step-in comfort” shoe. For anyone reading this comment who is looking for a tennis shoe that is ACTUALLY comfortable, look no further and go buy this shoe! Thanks again- Ian
That’s awesome, Ian- glad you’re playing pain free- hope they work well for you going forward
The heel counter IS soft.
I bought this couple month ago, great feel, really nice grip and comfy. But somehow the air bubble pop and I'm not sure wut to do.
Eh- defective pair not much you can do but send them back potentially
I hope you wore condoms on your feet re-wearing those lol. Great shoe but ventilation is so bad. Just played 3 hours in them and the weight was up 40% from wetness 😂
Hahaha- Bills not gonna like this comment
