Comments: This pair is worse than the T14. The toe sides of both the left and right shoe has a hole or cut like
damage after 5 months. The T14 wore out the same parts, but the whole palm is a piece, so the T14 wore out at the same time
without cut or hole. Whereas, the T22 seems like there are two layers on the palm. The out lay wore out and leaves a cut or hole
between the inner layer.

Comments: I've been wearing Prince NFS shoes for 20 years, and was very disappointed when they ran out of the
Vipers, which was an excellent shoe if you had a wide forefoot. I agree with some of the other reviewers -- the plastic support will
cause a blister if you have a wide foot. This may be a good shoe for a narrow foot, but would not recommend it for a wide
forefoot. Prince needs to bring back the Viper for all the loyal customers!
From: Lance, 7/14
Comments: These shoes felt great in the store but the plastic straps on the outside of the shoe are killing me (the
outer bone on the side of the foot). I removed the laces from the shoe, then I took a very sharp exacto knife and cut the stitching
on the outside of the plastic strap (the strap on the outside of the shoe and closest to the front of the shoe only! The other strap is
not an issue) and carefully separated it from the mesh. When I got close to the sole, I placed a credit card between the mesh and
the plastic strap, and cut away the strap about 1/16 of an inch above the sole. (The credit card prevents you from cutting into the
mesh.) That solved the problem completely. This will not hurt the shoe or void the warranty either. Love these shoes!
From: Scott, 7/14
Comments: They are comfortable. However, I burnt a hole in the toe in just two weeks! Unacceptable. If you play on
hard courts and move at all, these shoes are not for you
From: Bob, 7/14
Comments: The shoes are good for wide feet, but the latest production seems to be a bit loose in the heel. Also
because the shoes are so wide, it's like running with elephant feet.
From: Clare, 5/14
Comments: I used these for a few years and did send them back at least once for a free replacement because they
wore out before the 6 month guarantee time. I typically replacde them every 6 months or so, playing 2-3 times per week. They
have very good grip and stability, but are a bit clunky. The plastic straps do dig in, so I typically laced them loose down low and
tighter towards the top. This led to a bit of a loose fit though, and I found myself constantly re-tightening my shoes during
matches. The toe box is plenty wide and there isn't much arch support, so I used my own orthotic inserts instead of the ones
provided to help with this. I ended up switching to the Nike Vapor 9s for increased comfort. Overall, a solid, durable shoe.
From: Warren, 2/14
Comments: The T22 model is OK for wider feet like mine, and I think they are reasonably well padded compared to
other brands on the market. They are a little 'soft' in construction, and don't support fast hard movement all that well -- but this
is now a common problem in today's 'fashion' tennis shoes. I believe the plastic straps close to the toe box are poorly designed,
since they have very sharp edges that you can feel through the surrounding mesh material. The two materials do not go well
together when laced up tight, and feet are pushing sideways against them -- i.e. in typical tennis play. Did anyone in the design
team actually try this properly? Thick socks help a bit, but really, thin sharp plastic and mesh! I am 185 lbs, 6'0" and still a fast-
moving 52 year old, about 5.0, very experienced all-courter.
From: Anon, 1/14
Comments: The plastic strips on the sides will hurt your feet. I returned mine and until Prince decides to remove
the plastic, I will buy other brands.
From: Anon, 1/14
Comments: $90 down the drain -- the plastic strips on the side of the shoes are killing my feet. These shoes look
great and felt great in the store, but after playing in them for 2 weeks, I'm done. Going back to Nike.
From: Britt, 1/14
Comments: Leaves marks all over the court. I am a teaching professional and was embarrassed to wear these shoes
on the court. Called to let Tennis Warehouse know and said I could try another shoe. I have worn through them in two months on
the bottom. Very comfy, but wore through them way too fast, with marks all over the court.
From: Ryan, 12/13
Comments: I've been trying to find a comfortable wide-toe shoe to replace the Prince Viper series. Unfortunately,
the T22 feels stiff with almost no cushion for my already fragile feet. If anyone has a suggestion on what model to try, I'm all
ears. To the Prince reps, please bring the Viper wide toe series back and I'll buy a dozen at a time.
From: Doug, 12/13
Comments: I am on my 4th pair of T22s in the last 2.5years. I love these shoes as they are very spacious for semi-
wide feet with low arch. Prior to trying these out, I tried adidas Barricades and had shinsplints like crazy within 15mins of playing.
These shoes last for a while, 7-8 months playing doubles 3 times a week. They might last less if playing singles the same amount.
The shoes are clunky and heavy as others have commented. A nice pair of the cheap New Balance are good (tried them also) but
these shoes just move with the right amount of grip. The New Balance shoes were too grippy and I had minor knee problems from
them. These T22s just offer the right amount of grip when turning on the ball of your foot while swinging. I may look at another
brand just to see what's out there, but I always keep a pair of T22s as a trusty backup.
From: Russ, 12/13
Comments: Despite some of the feedback, I took a chance and bought the T22. It worked out for me as it's a great
shoe. A little clunky and beefy on the tread, but my game is not built around exceptional speed. No issues with the plastic straps
near the toebox. I used the fitting guide to help me. My foot size is 11 1/3," width is 4.1," I did not subtract by 1/5" and went
with a size 12.
From: John, 10/13
Comments: These shoes are in the top 5 that I have ever worn. The only problem is that I kind of 'pronate out' on
my heels a little and after a few months of wear, they begin to 'lean out' on my heels. I have 5 pairs sitting in the garage that are in
almost perfect condition except the 'pronated out' heel sections of the shoes. They are not worn out, but just a little wear on the
heels, just for some construction reason they kinda crush-out after a few minutes of play (my average weekly play = 12+ hrs).
Meaning, I cannot wear them because they will cause other joint-foot-knee problems if worn to long in that state. But, if you do
not have that pronating-out heel problem, I highly suggest these shoes! Also, I cannot wear Nike type shoes with pointed tips --
these T22s are squarish tips which are very comfortable to me.
From: Jon, 10/13
Comments: So far, these are the best shoes out there. Great for not causing knee or achilles problems. The side of
the foot is a problem (but only a small problem), I only had a little discomfort on the side of my right foot after 2 hours of play
(played 2 sets), however, I have to say the other benefits and comforts out weigh this minor issue. In my case, other shoes I had
worn over the years caused knee pain, shin pain, achilles tendon pain, bottom of feet pain and roll overs, but these shoes are very
stable and comfortable.
From: Mike, 9/13
Comments: Excellent shoe that really helped cure my achilles tendonitis and other feet ailments. Thank you Prince
and Tennis Warehouse!
From: Bob, 7/13
Comments: Be very careful with this shoe. Having worn Prince for 20+ year, it seems as if their manufacturing has
changed. Recently having owned about 7 pair of T9 Roadsters I tried these. These are far from the forefoot that one is used to
with Prince. The plastic on the sides that is locked into the lacing system pinch you foot terribly if you are used to a wider than
normal Toe Box from Prince. If anyone knows of a good T9 replacement please post.
From: Chris, 7/13
Comments: My first pair of these were the best tennis shoes I have ever worn! They were always extremely
comfortable and roomy around the toes. I recently re-ordered the same shoe and size but this time the fit was tight and
uncomfortable around the toes. I've been playing in them for 2 months now trying different socks to help in any way. The
discomfort tends to disappear temporarily while playing. My feet start hurting again after I stop playing and I can't wait to take
them off! Unfortunately, they still feel terrible every time I put them on! What happened to the fit of this great shoe?
From: Phil, 7/13
Comments: Great shoe! It took about 2 weeks to break in and now they are cushiony and comfortable.
From: Bob, 6/13
Comments: Not comfortable for me with the worst part being the side plastic part of the shoe that pinches my foot.
From: Damian, 5/13
Comments: This is a terrific shoe! I have tried the Scream 3, T14, and T22 Mid; the Scream's lacing pattern did not
have enough lace holes to feel secure on my feet, the T14 just didn't fit at all, and the T22 Mid hurt my feet. The T22 was my last
try, and it worked! Extremely comfortable, great support, and a great look! Recommended.
From: John, 3/13
Comments: It is rather confounding that so many consider the T22 to be a cushioning shoes. Granted the uppers
are super comfy with a roomy toebox and superb ventilation, but the cushioning is sorely lacking.
From: Anon, 3/13
Comments: This is a great shoe. I got my second pair recently. They changed the fit slightly. They're a little closer
fitting at the ball of the foot. They're very well ventilated and have good traction and durability. And they are well built up lateraly
so I can really load up on my forehand. My favorite feature is the heel cup. The shoe really wraps well around my narrow heel. I've
had a bad fit in the heel with 2 pairs of Asics that I had. The T22 is a very well built shoe.
From: Kevin, 12/12
Comments: I found these shoes very comfortable. I've had mine for almost 2 years. I play sporadically, but when I
play, I'm usually playing 6-7 hours over 2 days, so they show pretty good wear. The shoes have a good shelf life, and are very
durable. I have flatter feet so I think these shoes are better for people with wider and flatter feet than those with narrower feet
with high arches.
From: Gene, 12/12
Comments: My coach bought these for my team last season and I did not
like them at all. They seemed to not have enough cushioning and they
felt really clunky while moving around on the court.
From: Tristan, 11/12
Comments: I bought a pair of these in Navy Blue in the middle of September because I won a major discount
coupon from a local reseller at a tennis workshop. This is a very comfortable pair of shoes. Good cushioning and good ankle
support. However, it does not last very long. Mine is about 3 months from having a hole on the bottom of each shoe. Good thing it
comes with a 6 month warranty program. I totally recommend this.
From: Brian, 11/12
Comments: Danger, danger Will Robinson! Do not buy this shoe! I loved the T22 Mid. But as usual, when Prince
has a good thing they get rid of it. No wonder they are in bankruptcy. The T22 has no stability. I sprained my ankle three times
in two days. Plus, the shoe laces come untied every two games. I threw them in trash. I'm a 4.5 competitive player and coach
college tennis.
From: John, 9/12
Comments: These are pretty decent shoes. The sole lasts for a long time. I have had mine for a year and am just
starting to have the tread on the bottom come off and I play 5 days a week for 2.5 hours. Only problem is that they dont have very
good traction. They also hurt my feet!
From: Ben, 7/12
Comments: These T-22's were a big disappointment for me. I've worn Prince shoes
for my last 5+ pairs of shoes and they've all been great for their
longevity and for they way they fit my wide feet. I'm used to Scream
3's which are heavier and I was looking forward to the lighter weight
of the T-22. The T-22 is the first Prince shoe I've worn that pinch my
foot at the width and refuses to break in even after 6 months. Also
the toe has worn through and I've discovered this 10 days after the
six month outsole warranty has expired. Hopefully Prince will still
honor the warranty & give me a new pair & hopefully a new pair will
fit better. But this the first Prince shoe that I've been disappointed
From: Tom, 7/12
Comments: The problem with the T22 versus the T9 and T10 is the mesh used in the
forefoot toe area that is too stretchy on the T22, causing it to feel very unstable. The T9 and T10 used more vinyl in the forefoot
keeping the foot more stable.
From: Squirrel, 6/12
Comments: These are the worst shoes - ever. I have worn Prince shoes for many years and made the mistake of
buying two pairs of the T22. I have a wide forefoot and the shoes pinched the front of my foot badly. I tried to re-lace them and
bypass the plastic straps but that didn't help either. After a couple of hours on the court I hurt all over. I finally gave them away.
From: Mike, 5/12
Comments: Shoe feels comfortable, a good fit for my wide feet with little to no arch. Shoe feels good playing,
although on a few extreme situations, I did not feel comfortable with the stability of the shoe - your heel sits a little higher than
usual, and during major momentum shifts where other shoes slide for me. I almost felt like these were buckling on me. Scary
feeling, and this was during one of my first few sessions with them.
From: Anon, 4/12
Comments: I have very flat feet due to extreme over pronation so I
expected to have a difficult time finding tennis shoes that didn't
cause me discomfort. I tried the Nike Lunar Vapor 8 and the Adidas
Barricade first. Both were so horribly painful I couldn't even keep
them on my feet for five minutes. I called Tennis Warehouse on the
phone and explained my problem to them. They were extremely helpful
and directed me toward a couple of options. For some reason, despite
the fact that I think they are super ugly, I decided to try the Prince
T22s. I am SOOOO glad that I did. Foot pain gone instantly. The
comfort level was not quite 100% perfect but very close (say 90%
perfect). And honestly, with feet as flat as mine 90% perfect comfort
is about as good as I ever hope to experience. After wearing them a
couple of times, I decided to try an aftermarket insert (SofSole
Air), and that made them an absolute dream to play in. I'm now on my
second pair and I can't imagine ever trying another shoe. They do
feel a bit heavy on the feet at first, but the upside of that is that
they are incredibly stable. I also thought the sole was amazingly
durable. I am a recreational player and play three to four times a
week on hard courts, averaging one to four hours each session. After
six months, there were almost no signs of wear on the outsoles of my
first pair. I got a new pair mainly due to the inside being worn to
the point that I started to think, "Yeah, I should probably replace
these." But if I was thrifty or on a restrictive budget, I believe I
could have gotten another three or four months worth of wear out of
From: Dan, 4/12
Comments: A good shoes but it needs just a little more cushioning.
That would make it a great shoes.
From: K, 3/12
Comments: I am a 6'2" 250 Lb. bodybuilder, who happens to play 2-3 x's per week, 2
hrs + per session. I am quick for my size, and move around the court
well. I am a size 11 D, but I wear a size 12 in these shoes, maybe
because I like wearing two pairs of heavy socks for extra padding. I
like these shoes because I have wide toes( not foot). My toes don't
pinch in these shoes. I've tried a few other brands and they all pinch
my toes. I don't have foot or ankle problems,and I don't have flat feet.
I can afford any shoes I want. Price is not a factor. I found these
shoes work well for me, so I'm sticking with them. I don't see the point
in spending more money on shoes - just to keep trying different brands.
From: Anon, 3/12
Comments: My son plays Champ level USTA level tennis about 20-25 hours a week. I have just ordered his 7th pair
of these shoes. We have tried a number of different shoes, New Balance and Adidas Barricade come to mind, but we always come
back to the Prince T22. He has a rather wide, flat foot (not a lot of arch going on) and these have a roomier toebox than some.
We have tried switching a few times, but I always hear complaining, so I've stopped. We keep two pair on hand, and rotate them,
and he always wears these out late in month 4 or early in month 5 and Prince always honors the 6th month outsole warranty and
provides us with a free pair. I don't look at the wear-through as a negative, I look at it as a positive: every other pair is free. For
as much as he plays, I would not really expect the shoe to last longer, and I am pleased that they stand by their shoe and provide
this guarantee. I see they have come out with T24's. I hope they don't discontinue the T22's. They are a great shoe.
From: Texas Tennis Mom, 1/12
Comments: So I was wearing through my Nike Court Ballistec 2.3's and I needed a new
shoe. I have a very flat arch and it's usually hard to find a shoe
that fits right. I'm a pretty big Nike fan, so I've been wearing the
last few Cage and Court Ballistec series shoes as these tend to have a relatively flat arch. However, a few players I know
recommended the Prince T22. I was a bit hesitant at first, but then I tried them on. Been playing in these for the last few weeks
and I have to say I've been impressed. Very cushy and comfortable, I'm getting better support out of these than the 2.3's (for my
foot type), and they seem to provide a bit more support and are very stable. Sure, they aren't as flashy or good looking as the Nike
shoe (I love the look of the Court Ballistec 3.3's), but the great fit is what sold me on them.So if you have a wide-flat foot, need
some cushion and support, I'd recommend giving these shoes a shot. I've been very impressed.
From: James, 11/11
Comments: I absolutely love this shoe! I switched from the Babolat Propulse 3's to these, and they were great. I got
these shoes before my sectional match and they didn't take long to break-in. The shoe itself felt really well on my feet. There
wasn't much of a difference on the weight side but I loved the durability. I recommend this shoe to any player.
From: Nathan, 10/11
Comments: I have always loved the fit of Prince NFS shoes on my feet and have had several pairs of the old
Aerotype 1.2's and about 6 or 7 pairs of Vipers. I am pretty particular about what fits my foot, so I was a little apprehensive about
switching away from what has worked. I grind on shoes really hard on the court. I do lots of sliding on hard courts and foot drag
on the back foot often enough to tear through the tops on almost every shoe I have ever had. From the moment I first put on the
T22's I liked them. The grip is excellent, I almost prefer less as sliding on a hard court in these shoes is a lot harder than it is
wearing Vipers. However, they
have great flexibility and have been pretty darn tough on top where I have obviously tried my best to wear through them with foot
drag. They seem to be holding up quite well with support and cushion and they breath really well. These shoes get a big thumbs
up from me. The step up from the Viper to these is worth it and I am certain I will buy several more pairs
now that I know my feet love the shape of the shoe. I have notice a lot less wear and tear on my calf muscles and feet. I totally
love them.
From: Mike, 9/11
Comments: These shoes are fantastic. I switched over from the Barricade II's because it seemed to me that the
quality had started to drop off on the last couple of pairs I owned. I tried on about a dozen different shoes before deciding on
these. I had to get them 1/2 size larger than most shoes. I didn't need any break in time, they seemed to play well from the
moment I stepped on the court. The sole seems a bit wider than the Barricade II's, but I don't notice a difference in my movement.
I play about 4 to 6 hours a week at a 3.5 level and the wear seems very reasonable.
From: Jason, 9/11
Comments: This is a great shoe. This is the first shoe that I have been able to wear all 8 months. Most of the
competitor's shoes wore out at 3 months.
From: John, 8/11
Comments:I tried on lots of tennis shoes and these were by far the most comfortable ones. I found most adidas
shoes to be too narrow for my feet, and many other brands to be too rigid. The T22's are very bouncy, and have a nice wide feel
around the ball of the foot. Good support all the way around, I'm very happy with them.
From: Devin, 8/11
Comments: This is a really awesome shoe. After a long 4 years, I switched from Adidas Prevails to these and boy
did they feel great. They're a little bit on the heavier side, but I think it works better for me. Good lateral movement support, good
arch support and the toe box is a great fit for a size 10 guy.
From: MkR. 07/11
Comments: Like all other shoes, this T22 isn't for everyone. If you have a wide and flat foot like me, you have to try
it. For me, it felt like it was designed for my foot as it fits right in and feels comfortable. No blisters, no tight spots. I have to say
the look is a bit goofy as it's not my style but I go to the courts to enjoy my time and play well not to look great.
From: J. 6/11
Comments: Phenomenal shoe. Great comfort out of the box. Reasonable durability. Lasted me about 5 months but I
play a lot. Very stable.
From: Dean, Portland, Oregon. 5/11
Comments: As a high school student I have a lot of energy to move around the court. My team got these shoes as
team shoes last year. I already went through a pair in 5 months and 6 month warranty I got another. With the second pair I used
them over the summer in half the time. This shoe is not worth buying. If you like to hit running forehands and move around the
court a lot, this shoe is not recommended for you.
From: Bob, 03/11
Comments: This shoe is amazing. I play 6 times a week and I need a shoe that is comfortable, yet durable and this
is the best shoe I have ever had. I am on my 2nd pair now and the first pair lasted about 7-8 months. They are super
comfortable. I love these shoes!
From: Mike, IN, USA, 03/11
Comments: Great shoes!! I have worn just about every brand out there and I keep coming back to Prince T series.
Very comfortable durable and STABLE. I am 6'3" 235 and really can pound a shoe. I highly recommend them!

NTRP Rating: 4.0
Comments: These shoes are just awful. They offer no support, grip, comfort, and look extremely goofy. I am never
picky about how a shoe feels but I HATE this shoe. To all those who like it, try another shoe. After I got the Nike 2.3 ballistec and
I threw this pair in my fireplace. I never thought I could get so angry at a shoe.
From: Jacob, FL, USA, 02/11
Comments: Since taking up tennis 2 years ago I've had to road-test, tennis specific, tennis shoes. After trying out
many different brands, many of which hurt my feet I choose the Prince t-22, because it ended up being the best tennis shoe for
me. I am a 3.5 rated player that plays about 10 to 12 hours a week, mainly doubles but some singles. These shoes to my
experience wear very well in all areas, I would highly recommend them to all, especially to players that require a wider toe box.
From: Jim, Surprise, AZ, USA, 02/11
Comments: Overall a fantastic shoe, top-notch durability is a definite bonus. Shoe may weigh more compared to
other shoes, but when worn it feels light due to compact design. Lateral shuffles are decent. The only downside would be the high
break-in time. I play 8 hours a week mixing matches with drills and it took about 2 weeks to break these shoes in. Like previous
comments I would recommend a 1/2 size up.
From: Roger, MD, USA, 02/11
Comments: Shoes seem fairly heavy. Sole is wearing through after about 15 - 20 hours (I weigh 170 #)
Recommend sizing up 1/2 size. I normally wear size 11, but the shoes are too short. Width is good.
From: D.O., TX, USA, 02/11
Comments: Love these shoes. When I first started using them over a year ago I saw a noticeable improvement in
my game. I have lower arches so these were perfect. Stability is very good. Durability is extremely good, better than any shoe
I've ever worn. Overall a great choice for me.
From: Jeff, USA, 02/11
Comments: These shoes are form fitting, very solid, a little chunky, quite firm - not cushy but not uncomfortable.
Think heavy duty. At first I wondered if they would be too 'hard' but they fit perfectly (medium to wide foot, medium to high arch)
with good arch support so I gave them a try. At first I loved them, they felt snug, very supportive, durable and pretty quick for how
chunky they are. After about 2 months however, I developed a bruise on the side of my foot where the hard plastic lateral support
straps are, which hasn't gone away a month or so later. So, maybe they were too hard for me after all, it's too bad because I loved
them for 2 months and they still have a lot of life left in the soles but now I have a foot problem that won't seem to go away.
From: Bernard, Phoenix, AZ, USA, 11/10
Comments: This is a very good tennis shoe. I have tried adidas and Nike in several models. Bottom line, these are
much better. They are soft enough to be kind to my ankle and knees, but hard enough to last quite a while with 6 hours of singles
per week. They fit very comfortable, good traction, excellent breathability, good space for fingers and they wrap around the feet
very well. So far, the best tennis shoes I have tried! Period!
Now I have several models, my wife loves them and my kids prefer them to other brands
From: Adrian, Queretaro, Mexico, 10/10
Comments: I used to wear the Nike Breathe Free shoes - of course, were discontinued like many good products. I
tried the Nike Court Ballistic 2.3 - felt clunky and heavy. They led to blisters on my big toes. Tried the Nike 2K10 - a little lighter
than the Court Ballistics, but had similar blister issues. The soles of the latter shoe began to wear pretty quick. I tried the prince
T22 based on TW reviews. They feel great. The shoe inserts are much thicker and more padded than the Nikes. Shoes were
comfortable with 1st outing. Soles have not worn with about 6-8 hours of singles play. I have bought a second pair and am quite
From: Ken, Coeur D Alene, ID, USA, 10/10
Comments: Excellent shoe. Barricades made my feet cramp and became too narrow for my feet. Asics Gel
Resolutions were very good too; only downsides were slight slippage in the heel and the non-durable sole. The Prince T22s have
been the best shoe I've bought for tennis, ever. I just stocked up on them.
From: CAM, Bethesda, MD, USA, 09/10
Comments: Prince T22 is a really nice tennis shoe. They are well made, great looking, and comfortable. I like that
the outsole of the shoe has a rounded aspect to the forefoot area and a substantial toe-drag bumper. As everyone's feet and
tastes are different, I am not going to say that this is the best tennis shoe ever. But, I did try just about every brand out there for
fit, stability, comfort, and quality of manufacture. I have used New Balance, Adidas Barricade, and Fila tennis shoes in the past. I
will say that after trying many shoes this time around, the Prince T22 rose to the top. They are the best shoe for me right now,
and I have purchased another pair. When I find a tennis shoe that works for me, I stick with it and stockpile several pairs. I will
take advantage of the 6-month outsole warranty as well. I use custom orthotics with the Prince T22 and that works well. The
orthotics are easy to get in and out of the shoe. The shoe has really good stability and the tongue is well padded. There is nothing
cheap, plastic or flimsy about this tennis shoe. Feels lighter than the specs would indicate. I highly recommend the Prince T22.
Give it a try and compare to the other top tennis shoes. You may reach the same conclusion I have.
From: Anon, 09/10
Comments: This is a wonderful shoe. I previously wore the Adidas Barricade 2. The reason I switched to the T22 is
that the toe box of the Barricade 2 wound up being too narrow for my feet. The right shoe rubbed and caused pain to the joint at
the base of my right big toe. In looking for a shoe with a wider toe box, I tried on the T22 and New Balance CT 1004 and went
with the T22. I'm glad I did. The T22 is incredible right out of the box, and it works great with my custom orthotics. In short, this
is the best tennis shoe I've ever owned. I highly recommend the T22.
From: JRo, KC, MO. 8/10
Comments:I also was a Barricade user. No question the t22s are more comfortable and durable. Save some money
and buy em. I bought 2 pairs.. black and white/black/scarlet
From: J, OR, USA, 08/10
Comments: Excellent shoe. Used Barricades before but this feels better. Cushioning, stability, and wear are
excellent. Best tennis shoes that I have ever bought.
From: David, Bethesda, MD, USA, 08/10
Comments: Echoing Dan's comments, the T22 is the best shoe I've ever played in. I've had numerous foot problems
throughout the years, and usually had very sore and blistered feet after playing long matches. These shoes minimize the damage
more than any other shoe I've worn, which motivates me to practice more and play longer. The slightly wider-than-average sole
provides excellent stability, including lateral support--much better than Nike, for example--but not too much restriction (which I
find New Balance and Adidas brands suffer from). So if you want a shoe in between Nike and Adidas in terms of stability, support,
and comfort, this is the one.

Comments: This is by far the best tennis shoe I have ever played in. It is extremely comfortable. The shoe lasted
about 2 months, which is very good for me. The adidas barricade lasts about a month and a half, most Nike shoes about 3 weeks.
I strongly recommend this shoe to anybody who needs durability.
From: Dan, SC. 6/10
Comments: I bought these shoes based on the reviews I read at this site. I have to disagree with those that say
these will fit those with wide feet. I have wide feet, but not so wide that they fit into double EE's (New Balance), which seem to be
the only thing made for wide feet. I did order some "custom" made shoes (barricades) from myadidas.com which fit pretty well.
However, I don't like the boat like feeling of barricades. Anyway, these Prince T22s do not fit wide feet and pinch considerably in
the toe box. If you truly have wide feet you need to look elsewhere. I am still looking.
From: Rory, Richmond, VA, USA. 5/10
Comments: Great shoes that are very comfortable, provide decent arch support, and can be worn right out of the
box. The only problem with them is I was able to put a hole in the bottom of the left shoe, due to a bad toe drag on my forehand,
within 5 weeks.
From: chris, brookfield, ct, USA. 4/10
Comments: I have always been a big fan of Prince tennis shoes. I had a pair of OV-1s about a year and a half ago,
but they were very narrow for my wide feet. After wearing them for about 6 months, I bought a pair of Nike Shox (not tennis
shoes, obviously) for everyday wear. The Shox were very comfortable and I could wear them for most of the day without sore feet,
which I could not say about the OV-1s. I recently ordered a pair of the T22s, which looked a bit wider than the OV-1's. I took them
out of the box, put them on and WOW! This is by far the most comfortable shoe I have ever put on my foot. They are wide enough
for my very wide feet and have lots of cushion right out of the box! Very impressed with this shoe!!
From: Jeff, Fort St. John, BC, Canada. 4/10
Comments: Since I had foot surgery 6 months ago I can no longer wear Nike shoes. A tennis pro suggested I try the
prince T22. They are amazingly comfortable and can be worn right out of the box. If I had to continue wearing Nikes, I would
sadly have to give up the game. I am baffled how so many pros wear Nike. Once you have a serious foot problem you then learn
how important a quality, comfortable and supportive shoe is for your feet..
From: Tim, CA, USA. 4/10
Comments: I just picked up a pair of these after a long struggle with shoes. I played with Oscillates for ever and a
day. When those went away I bounced around to all kinds of shoes. I tried various Nikes, New Balance, etc. I have always been a
Nike guy, but my last pair of Vapors ripped my feat apart. I had to make a change. I got a very strong recommendation to try these
and wow...I really would have never considered a pair of Prince shoes unless something like this happened. I have to be
honest...wow. I was blown away the moment they went on my feet. They are more comfy than the New Balance 1004 (and that is a
great shoe!) and fit snug like the Oscillates. They are amazing feeling. Don't think twice...get 'em.
From: Jeff, Cary, NC, USA. 03/10
Comments: I have used this shoe for about two months. I think I could
have gone smaller by a half/size, they seemed a touch wider then I am
use to, nothing to stop the show mind you, I just don't wear my thinner
socks. No break in for these shoes at all, pillow feeling. I am
having an issue with the sole on the heel of one shoe, as it looks to
be ripping off the shoe. Not too concerned with this as it seems to
have held up fine for a couple weeks like this without any more
tearing. Overall a good shoe, fairly light, comfortable and
breathable. Might not have the support some are looking for. I paid
$69, I consider that a good deal for this shoe with the 6 month sole
warranty, and would not hesitate to buy it again. I am a pretty
aggressive running, athletic player 3.5-4 range.
From: Sean, FLA 12/09
Comments: Very comfortable and easy to break in. But I wore through these in about 2 months.
From: Zack, WA 11/09
Comments: I bought these shoes as I've always worn K-Swiss shoes, but wanted a black pair of shoes. I play a few
times each week. These shoes are good for my wide feet. They are comfortable right out of the box and feel true to size as do
the K-Swiss. They are lightweight and provide decent lateral support and traction. However, the sides and sole of these shoes are
much more flexible in contrast to the K-Swiss Stabilors. While it not an issue for me, the bend point in the soles is more forward
and seems to keep the bend so the toe area of the shoe appears to be curled up.
From: Mike, Phila, PA 10/09
Comments: What a fit! I have a medium-wide foot with a low arch and these shoes secure you nicely without being
tight. I have worn Wilson exclusively for a decade or more but there is now very little selection of wide models in the Canadian
market. There is also a bit of rocker in the the sole so this helps keep you on your toes. The only negative aspect is the outsole is
quite firm/hard so there is a cushioning sacrifice.
From: Craig, Mississauga, ON, Canada 10/09
Comments: These are the very best tennis shoes I've ever owned. They fit perfectly the minute I tried them on. I
have a medium wide foot with low arch. They feel great on the court with good traction without being too heavy. They also have
great ventilation and give me plenty of support. I can play 3 hours in these with no pain in feet and they also have enough
cushion for hard courts. This is a high performance shoe at a very reasonable price.
I had gone from Barricades which were heavy and not very comfortable, the wear on them was ok but they slowed me down
especially on clay. The plastic "claws" on the sides would dig into my feet and caused pain. I had a cheap pair of Wilson shoes
after that but those were just crap, fell apart fast and caused all kinds of pain even though the soul was very soft. I'm happy to
say I've found the best tennis shoe ever with the Prince T-22!!!
From: Lance, New York, NY, USA 09/09
Comments: I had worn Wilson for years and had not really thought of Prince prior. I have a wide foot and low arch
and these are the best tennis shoes that I have ever worn and offer the best support, in terms of wide platform to avoid ankle roll,
that I have ever felt.
From: Jamey, Pelham, NY, USA. 08/09
Comments: These shoes are the best tennis shoes I have ever worn. Since I have wide feet with high arches they are
great, roomy and breath and I use my own arch supports and they fit comfortably! I really trust these shoes and have had nothing
but a positive experience.
From: Tokie, Palm Springs, CA 08/09
Comments: Have played in the T22's for about 6 months and I am pretty impressed. Switched from Prince MV-4's
because this shoe offered more cushioning for hard court play. The difference in cushioning is tremendous. Forefoot stability is
really good and breatheability is nice. The shoes are pretty heavy but the trade off is a super durable sole and improved stability
with the plastic inserts. I have mid-to-narrow feet and these shoes fit pretty snug...I guess they would fit most any foot type.
Great for hard court baseliners who shred soles quickly, but might try something lighter for serve & volleying and playing on other
From: Andrew, Knoxville, TN, USA 08/09
Comments: Thought I would leave a quick opinion on these shoes. Played about 12 sets and
find these to be ultra comfortable. Great ventilation with no break in needed. The only down side is they don't have great stability.
Takes a little bit of time to adapt and "trust" the shoe. Past shoes include Barricades, KSwiss Ultrascendor, New Balance 8 and CT
series and a few others and these fit my slightly wide feet perfectly. Leave my feet feeling better after hitting
or matches then any shoe to date. Hope this review helps.
From: Dana, MA, USA. 7/09
Comments: These were fantastic then they stretched, if you have narrower foot width not a good choice. However
were very comfortable for the first 4 weeks. I may have worn them just a little too long. They really only last a couple of months
at three days a week. I began slipping with the tread wear.
From: Andrew, MO, USA, 07/09
Comments: I felt a little pressure on my little toes first couple of times during use.
Mainly while sliding on the clay, but other than that I love them. I even have a narrow foot but shoes fit well.
From: sam, brandon, fl, usa. 6/09
Comments: I normally love Prince shoes and have had many pairs, but these do not have the cushioning for
someone with knees like mine. I have had knee pain every single time I wore these shoes, even with inserts. The old Prince
Roadsters had much better cushioning.
From: John, Atlanta, GA, USA. 05/09
Comments: Amazing, I normally wear barricade 5s, but decided to buy these for an upcoming tournament after
wearing out the barricades in 2 months. These are more comfortable and durable then barricades.
From: Bob, Knoxville, Tennessee, USA. 04/09
Comments: I have a wide foot, and over the past 3 years have used Barricade II's and IV's, New Balance EE's, ASICs,
Yonex, and KSwiss. These T22's are by far the best combination of fit, durability, and support for me, with the KSwiss in second.
Now I know why there is such a cult following for Prince shoes, particularly those with wide feet. It's rare to find a shoe that is
both comfortable enough for everyday wear and provides the support needed for intense competition. I wanted to like the
Resolution 2's, but they were too narrow. The Yonex SHT-306's were nice, but I had to go 1/2 size larger and the arch support
was too low (which I remedied with insoles). I'm going to give one last try to Adidas since I ordered Barricade V's in Wide from
miadidas.com, but if those don't work out it's good to know I've found my foundation shoe brand in Prince. As a note, the Prince
MC's fit narrower than the T22's.
From: Herschel, Sacramento, CA, USA. 04/09
Comments: These shoes are incredibly comfortable, durable, and breathe well. I play in Miami where it gets hot and
humid, and I really like the way these breathe. They require zero break-in and are ready to go out of the box. I have wider feet
and these shoes are very comfortable. Zero hesitation to recommend them to anyone! A great shoe!
From: Anon. Miami, FL. USA. 04/09
Comments: I wear a lace-up brace on left ankle so shoe comfort is a big deal and lateral stability is a must. I've
been wearing Prince Quicktrac's the last few years.
However, I wanted something for clay with max ventilation and stability. First try was latest Adidas Feather series that was
comfortable with good ventilation but low profile at ankle nixed shoe. I tried the Prince T22 and it is everything I was looking for
in a shoe. Now I have to stay after the maintenance crew to get the nets up on the clay.
From: Lucian, Knoxville, Tennessee. USA. 3/09
Comments: The T-22 is an AWESOME shoe, I put it on right out of the box and played for an
hour and a half. I've just ordered another pair in the other color, don't want to be without this shoe. I wore the Babolat Roddick
shoe prior to this one and it's nowhere near as comfortable.
From: Bob, Jupiter, FL. 2/09
Comments: This is a great shoe, but not as comfortable as the T-10. They lightened them up with hopes of better
ventilation and in doing so took protection away from the heel and the extra cushion that made the T10 the best shoe in tennis. A
note to Prince...can you perfect perfection? The T10 is the shoe especially for older players who need protection from pavement.
The T-22 with minimal cushion broke down in just 8 weeks. To save my achillies I'm going back to the amazing T10..BTW I miss
the gray model in red and green...they rocked! Also, Ive been playing for 30 years, used every shoe out there, Prince has them all
beat in comfort, durability, and style...keep it up!
From: Jake, Boise, Idaho. 2/09
Comments: Great shoes! I like that they are flat on the ground because with some shoes, especially Adidas
Barricades, it feels like there is a large one or two inch heel on the back, and it makes the shoes feel rather clunky and awkward.
No such problems with these, though. They can be pulled very tight because the eyelets are far apart, so they feel snug and wrap
around my feet very well. They are broad in the front, which makes for a very stable, solid ride. Kudos to Prince, five stars for the
From: Gary, CA, USA. 12/08
Comments: Fits my D/E width foot with a pretty high arch perfectly unlike Nike Breathe Cages/Free's, which I have
worn last 2 years. Mesh upper breaths great. A very comfortable shoe right out of the box.
From: Gerry, Bradenton, FL, USA, 12/08
Comments: Great shoe, very good traction. I got a pair a half size too small on purpose so they wouldn't move, and
they feel like they are part of my feet. I forget I'm wearing shoes. They are the tiniest bit higher off the ground than I would like
but the cushioning is more than a fair trade. The one problem, and I've had this with previous Prince shoes, is the straps on the
forefoot dig into my feet on occasion and become very uncomfortable. Very good shoes. Stylin' too ;)
From: James, Norwalk, IA, USA. 11/08
Comments: Awesome shoes, I am a big fan of Prince tennis shoes as my feet are sensitive and need comfort and
support. I tend to get a bruise on the ball of my foot and then I am out of commission for tennis play. I need a good solid
comfortable shoe and this T-22 is good for me and knew it the second I put it on, I need the confidence of a great show when I
play and the little extra money is worth it all.
From: Michael, Cornelius, North Carolina, United States. 9/08
Comments: I agree with the comment above. They are phenomenal. They don't need to be broken in. It's as if I had
them for ever. I have always been a big fan of Nike and Wilson but I have been disappointed lately. This shoe is the answer. Let me
put it this way, when I went playing wearing them for the first time, not once I stopped to think about my shoes. I forgot I was
wearing them for the first time. I forgot I was wearing them, period. It's that good a fit. I hope this helps.
Ps: They are not that expensive either.
From: Mauricio, Little Rock, Arkansas, United States. 9/08
Comments: These shoes had great cushioning, but the strap in the forefoot dug into my foot and caused me great
pain! A shame really for an otherwise great shoe.
From: Daniel, California, USA. 9/08
Comments: I've worn the Nike Breath Free 2 for two years. It's a great lightweight shoe, the only downside is when
involved in a long tough match I could feel my feet and legs start to ache. You notice the lack of cushion and comfort especially
when playing singles. I decided to try the Prince T22 because I remembered the great comfortable feel of the Prince T10's. I
could immediately notice the improved comfort and support the T22 had over the Breath Free 2. I've played 2 long singles
matches already and I'm very impressed with the stability and comfort. The real good news is they do not feel any heavier then
the Breath Free 2, which was a bonus for me.
From: Joe, FL, USA, 09/08
Comments: They are awesome. I love them! Perfect colors and very comfortable. They do not even need to be
broken in and they breathe very well. Best pair of tennis shoes I have had. I have played in Barricades and also Diadoras neither of
which can compare to these shoes. I love them!!!

Skip to comments.Some House Backers of Thompson Are Starting to Lose the Faith
Posted on 11/19/2007 10:22:45 AM PST by Alter Kaker
Several House Republicans who endorsed Fred Thompson for president now say that they are frustrated with what they view as an apathetic campaign, and at least one regrets having committed to the former Tennessee senator.
I think hes kind of done a belly flop, said an estranged Thompson backer who indicated he will not pull his public support before the Super Tuesday primaries. Well just wait till after Feb. 5 because I think hes going to get beat.
The disaffected members of team Thompson say that he has failed to put to rest whispers that he is unwilling to campaign hard enough to win the presidency.
He seems to be perpetuating it instead of defeating it, another dissatisfied Thompson backer told CQ Politics. I cant see me bailing on him, but theres some frustration.
Political endorsements mean little in and of themselves. But actively engaged elected officials can use their own networks to help boost a presidential candidates chances in their district or state, according to political experts.
It often times gives entrée to that persons own fundraising network and to be able to tap into that persons knowledge of how to win that particular geography, said Susan A. MacManus, a political science professor at the University of South Florida in Tampa.
Some of Thompsons endorsers say they arent lifting a finger.
Ive kind of pulled back. Im not not supporting him, but Im not doing anything, said a third lawmaker.
What could be even more troubling for Thompson is what that lawmaker said GOP activists outside the capital Beltway are saying: Now theyre calling me and saying Whats he doing? Its almost like he doesnt want it.
The disillusioned Thompson endorsers spoke in separate interviews with CQ Politics, all on the condition of anonymity because they did not want to damage him or themselves publicly. Two said they retain hope that he will turn it around.
One indicated that Thompsons recent comments on abortion may have done him serious damage with some antiabortion activists. Thompson favors leaving the question of abortion to the states, and conservative columnist Robert D. Novak pilloried Thompson for a Meet the Press interview earlier this month in which Thompson said women who get abortions should not be made into criminals. Novak called the specter of legislation that would put abortion recipients, or their parents, in jail a spurious issue raised by abortion-rights activists.
Thompsons staunchest supporters on Capitol Hill say his campaign is gathering steam. They note his recent endorsement by the National Right to Life Committee, which has the resources to spend heavily on Thompsons behalf and the reach to activate grass-roots conservatives.
Im very confident in my support for his campaign and continue to believe he is the most consistent conservative in the race who can win both the primary and the general, said Rep. Adam H. Putnam , R-Fla., who as chairman of the Republican Conference is the third-ranking member of the House GOP.
Texas Rep. Louie Gohmert , who remains a strong Thompson supporter, said the knock that Thompson is not campaigning hard enough is a bit unfair.
Nonetheless, MacManus said the wavering support from some of the House Republicans who have endorsed Thompson matters.
At this point its significant because hes trying to win a come-from-behind race and he needs every bit of support he can get, she said.
After a long flirtation, Thompson officially launched his candidacy in early September, after the other Republican and Democratic contenders had been campaigning for months.
The late entry appears to have contributed to the loss of one possible endorsement in the House.
Rep. Nathan Deal , R-Ga., was once on the brink of declaring for Thompson but ultimately chose to keep his powder dry.
Deal said that, like others, Thompson waiting so long to get into the race disconcerted him.
He really hasnt caught fire, said Deal, who has not committed to a candidate. Deal did not rule out the possibility of endorsing Thompson, or at least voting for him, later on. But he also said former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee , who is outpolling Thompson in Iowa, might get his help. Huckabee and Thompson are in direct competition for social conservatives.
Rep. Zach Wamp , R-Tenn., who has organized support for Thompson on Capitol Hill, said his man is building momentum and is well-positioned at this point.
He is still in the thick of this, and its wide open, Wamp said. In no way at all am I discouraged about anything.
"Shoo, gnats, don't bother me,
Shoo, gnats, don't bother me,
Shoo, gnats, don't bother me,
For FRed's the candidate for me!"
Which leaves us Guilianni, Romney, or Huckabee in the common wisdom.
See tagline for the solution.
I started reading the article, but wasn't motivated enough to finish it.
Ah the infamous "unnamed" sources.
He has everything right here.

These Congressmen have been banned or suspended.
I started reading the article, but wasnt motivated enough to finish it.
LOL. Yah, I'm going to delay a while and then maybe, if enough people ask me to, I'll consider announcing that I'll read it. I'm not sure even after the announcement that I'll do the work to actually read it though.
In all seriousness, why isn't Thompson pounding the pavement in New Hampshire, Iowa, Nevada, and Florida? You can do internet and media as easily from Iowa and New Hampshire as anywhere else. And please don't spam 10 campaign appearences from the various states. We'd hear about it if Thompson was burning the midnight oil to win this thing.
What a crock, this anonymous talk. Hunter and FDT is the only true conservatives running. Mitt and Rudy are RINOs. Huck loves raising taxes and is a AGW nut. Huck is the biggest fraud running on the Republican side.
Johnathan Allen must be the CQKnucklehead himself. This is worthless drivel.
We're two plus months away from the primary and folks are throwing in the towel. I guess we needn't hold elections anymore.
Rep. Zach Wamp , R-Tenn., who has organized support for Thompson on Capitol Hill, said his man is building momentum and is well-positioned at this point. He is still in the thick of this, and its wide open, Wamp said. In no way at all am I discouraged about anything.That's all I need to know. Tx.
I still have my hopes! Let the voters do the talking. All the MSM has is hot air.
Maybe most of us are going to be enjoying the upcoming holidays before we have to listen to campaign drivel.
Maybe VOTERS are apathetic.
Were two plus months away from the primary and folks are throwing in the towel. I guess we neednt hold elections anymore.
Welcome to the world of primary politics, where they always tell you that the conservative can't win. Remember how much we needed George Bush to win rather than Ronald Reagan according to the media; how Reagan couldn't win, he was a crazy conservative? Landslide 1, Landslide 2, and one more landslide after he left office for . . . George Bush.
Your solution would make things worse.
Perhaps Fred is going to be the king of the nomination process! After all , when Hunter, he, Tancredo really find out that they are not going to win the nomination, perhaps who they support will get a stronger push after Feb. 5. In reality, when it is all over, Feb. 5 will decide the nominee not Iowa or NH. It will be a mess for awhile as the returns come in to see if those saying they will vote for our candidates, actually do. Or will electibility finally settle in to be the cincher?
yeah...sure...whatever you say.
I agree...
Obviously not, in my opinion. Hunter is the best candidate out there on a personal level, on the level of his speeches and persona, and on the level of his positions and his experience. He has had one wife, his kids are serving overseas in the armed forces, he is a Christian, he is articulate and I've never seen him make a mistep in public speaking (which is unusual in my experience), he looks strong, he is grounded and doesn't get flustered, he built the border fence in his district, it's his baby, he knows military issues better than any other candidate . . .
So, there was three and two said he could still "turn it around." Good thing they didn't want to damage Fred. There's no way the media would use an anonymous source to do that. Whew, that was close.
If all three, Hunter, Tancredo and Thompson are out then there will be no conservative in the race to support.
Pretty funny article, given how even the NRO, with its NY-intellegensia bent, just wrote an article about how Thompson has fire in the belly and completely whipped up on Georgie Stuffedfullofpoopopulence this week-end.
Of course, in your opinion. You give good reasoning for your opinion too.
IMO he would make the problem worse.
MSM needs to up the propaganda if they are going to quell last week's surge.
I'm curious. If FDT isn't 'out there' enough for these folks, does that mean the rest of the Republican field IS 'out there'? And if so, where the heck are they? I'd hardly be aware that Hunter is running were it not for me spending WAY too much time on Free Republic.
"another dissatisfied Thompson backer
said a third lawmaker.
Horse Hockey says a satisfied Thompson supporter named ejonesie22
I don't know about Hunter but FDT sure as heck isn't running. More like strolling with a "I don't give a rip" attitude, just going through the motions.
Now that FDT has announced his immigration & border security plan, I wonder if he still has the endorsement of George P. Bush?
"He has had one wife" You guys keep bringing that up. Do you have a problem with those of us who have been married more than once?
I'd put it another way. I think it says something good about a man if he has picked a woman that is right for him and worked hard enough to make the marriage work. Nothing against you or anyone else.
Bottom line? He's too old to get elected president.
I managed to get my Fred bumper sticker somehow, and I'm in a state that is a virtual lock for Rooty on the Pubbie side, and the Witch on the Rat side. I'm disappointed to not see any Fred presence in the state where he's widely perceived as having the best chance for his first primary victory.
Very good. It looks like something Fred and I have both done the second time around. So we can just say that is a non issue then.
What happened to pissant?
I honestly don't give a damn if the media and unnamed sources say Fred isn't campaigning hard enough or the way they think he should.
But I do have to admit that his speaking has not impressed me the way I hoped it would. Now speaking isn't as important for a U.S. President as, for example a U.K. prime minister, but its important to get elected.
It is also important for a sitting President in times of crisis. President Bush43 simply cannot rally the country the was President Reagan could.
Now, not every President has to be (or can be) a Reagan but they should at least be able to speak clearly and strongly like President Bush41. Re: The Iraq Invasion of Kuwait: "This will not stand" or "Read my lips, no new taxes."
Now doing is important than speaking but speaking is important too.
On CQ's condition of fantasy.
Can't address FRed's positions on issues? Make up something intangibly negative.
Robinson booted his account because pissant posted a National Review article that was critical of Thompson after Robinson warned pissant about posting stuff that was critical of Thompson.
This account has been banned or suspended.
Jim is not that shallow and Pissant, God love him, crossed several lines.
A Democrat reporter and his Democrat editor and the paper's Democrat owner, perhaps.
This is BS!
He ain't no Charlie Norwood, that's for sure. Deal, a former Democrat (1996), is only still in office because no Conservative has challenged him. His district, until recently, didn't "bear fruit" for the State, and is solidly Republican.
Now that we have a water crisis and his District encompasses Lake Lanier, he's coming under more scrutiny.
Look for him to be challenged strongly next time around.
You don't suppose... JR is a FRedHead?

great and wonderful color
"My son loves these sneaks. He is really into tennis and loves the (tennis ball) yellow color! The bright colors are in and he loves them. The fit for his foot is perfect - all Nike shoes fit him well. The size is true to size and the width is a standard width. The sneakers have a very flexible sole and also have good traction, which is what we were looking for. My athletic/very active son wears out a pair of sneakers about every month - we're hoping this sole holds up a little more than other styles. So far so good."

Headed to Toronto? There's so much to do in this Canadian city with international flair, but with CityPASS, you'll see the best attractions the area has to offer, hand-picked and packaged into an easy-to-use ticket booklet that'll save you time and money. CityPASS is valid for 9 consecutive days starting with the first day of use, so there's no need to rush; you'll have plenty of time to experience Toronto at your own pace.
CityPASS is just something you need when you come for the first time to the city. Admissions are must see, and if you save money even better.
Something for everyone: arts, sciences, history, entertainment, and for every age group. You can be confident in seeing something unique, worthwhile, and proper to the city itself.
What a concept. Great savings on five must see Toronto attractions, saved a bunch. Savings are great, but what's better? Skipping the lines. No need to wait in most lines just go to appropriate service desk and stroll on in.
I found a CityPASS for Toronto and bought it. After that the whole trip fell into our laps! There is so much to do in Toronto that we were in over our heads before this! The CityPASS has so much to offer for every kind of person!
Great price for amazing attractions. Have used it every time friends and family visit from outside the country. Love it!
I don't usually buy passes like this because usually you're paying for things you don't really want to do. And as a backpacker every dollar counts! However, I had planned on visiting the Toronto Zoo, the CN Tower and The Royal Ontario Museum and those three alone would have been worth more than the cost of the CityPASS.

Stiff upper leather
"This shoe fit well and was true to size. They were generally comfortable to walk around in.Ultimately, however, I decided to return this shoe because the stiff leather upper rubbed on the inside of my arch. I was pretty sure that this would create a sore or a cut within just a few minutes of use."

DAVOS – Sometimes when you're actually at an event, you lose a little perspective. I've been coming to the Spengler Cup for ten years and, because it's work (albeit enjoyable work), I know most of the ins and outs of the format, the way teams get here, their ability to add players and so on. But I get a lot of questions over Twitter from people who are confused by the set-up. You need some answers; I need a blog entry. So: It's time for Spengler Cup Q + A.
Stephen Butler (@sbutler66) asks: "How are entries currently allocated?"
The Spengler Cup is an invitational tournament. The tournament organizers – primarily tournament President Fredi Pargãtzi – decide during the summer, which teams to invite and then begin negotiations. HC Davos and Team Canada always receive an invite. There is, since 2010, always a second Swiss League club. So that leaves three other places for club teams from around Europe.
Sean Musson (@shinermaginer) asks: "Is Canada's team grandfathered in or something?"
The tournament has been around since 1923, Canada didn't become involved until 1984 – when then President of the Spengler Cup, Fredy Gfeller decided to increase interest in the event by inviting Canada's National Team. When Hockey Canada dropped its full-time national team programme, it continued to send a team made up of primarily Swiss League-based Canadians. There have been, occasionally, other national teams invited to the tournament. The USSR, Finland and Czechoslovakia have all had national teams here before, but Canada has become a fixture.
From numerous tweeters: "How come Canadians are playing on teams against Canada?"
Again, it's a club team tournament; so, for example, if Joe Thornton is under contract to play for HC Davos this season – as he is – then he plays for HC Davos. He's not allowed to leave his club team and come and play for Canada. It is a little strange, I'll grant you, but this is a unique tournament (plus, I'm used to it).
Also from numerous people: "How many players can a team add to their roster?"
A team can add up to four additional players to the team. Generally the additional players come from Swiss League teams because the league is in a break during the Spengler Cup. Usually the team loaning the player will receive a cash payment and there are also often conditions attached by the loaning team. For example, Zug loaned Damian Brunner and Rafael Diaz to HC Davos but on the condition that they could only play a maximum of three games. Those conditions never apply to the Canadians released to play for Team Canada.
"Do teams receive money for playing in the tournament?"
Teams receive about $100,000 to participate. In addition, expenses like travel and hotels are all taken care of. Prize money increases if you make it to the semi-finals and the final. The winning team will head home with about $250,000 in their bank account and the other team in the final about $150,000.
"What's with those freaky cow uniforms for the refs?"
I like them myself. Essentially, here's the dilemma for European hockey in general: It's not the NHL folks. There aren't a limitless number of 18,000-seat arenas, teams don't play 41 home games plus exhibition games plus post-season games, teams and tournaments can't charge NHL ticket prices, leagues don't receive the kind of money the NHL does for TV rights. They have to pay the bills and that's why you see advertising on the sweaters, the ice and, in this case, the referee sweaters. I agree the cows are pushing the envelope but the biggest sport in the world – soccer – routinely has advertisements on the officials jerseys (see the British Premiership) and, of course, right on the front of the team jerseys.
"Which tournament do you prefer, the Spengler Cup or the World Juniors?"
Two different beasts. One benefits from the caché of best-on-best national teams and the exuberance of youth - and the other benefits from the higher skill level of professional players, many of whom have been pros for a decade. I love 'em both.

Sterling silver, also called fine silver, is a beautifully lustrous cool-toned precious metal favored in fine jewelry among other products. The most reflective of all metals (excluding mercury), sterling silver looks stunning by itself and brings out the best hues in an array of colorful gemstones.
Sterling silver can be polished to a higher sheen than platinum. In fact, Ag, the chemical symbol for silver, comes from a word that means "white and shining." The surface of silver can boast that shiny, polished appearance, or can be brushed, satin, matte, sandblasted, antiqued or oxidized (chemically blackened).
In order to be called sterling silver, a metal must be made up of a minimum of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% alloy (meaning other metals), including but not limited to copper and nickel. The alloy is added to pure silver to make the metal more durable, tougher and harder. Sterling silver is designated a fineness of "925." Pieces with sterling silver may be marked "sterling."
Finishes on Sterling Silver
Finishing, or plating, is a common treatment with sterling silver. Popular types of plating are rhodium plating, gold plating and anti-tarnish plating. Plating is used to extend the life and sheen of the jewelry. After sizing or buffing a piece of jewelry with a machine, it must be re-plated to restore the finish.
Caring for Sterling Silver
Sterling silver becomes tarnished as the result of a natural chemical process that occurs when sterling silver is exposed to chemicals in the air, rubber, wool and latex. Humidity also plays a role in accelerating tarnishing. It's easy to keep your sterling silver sparkling, though, by taking a few steps to prevent tarnish and other wear and tear.
Often referred to as the "Queen of Garnets," rhodolite is the violet-red variety of the garnet family. Its most prized color is a beautiful raspberry, but the gem can also be found in shades of pink, red and wine. The name is derived from the Greek words "rhodon" and "lithos," meaning rose-stone, which connects the gemstone today with the raspberry-pink flower known as the rhododendron.
Rhodolite is a combination of almandine and pyrope garnets. Although it is occasionally found in volcanic rock, the stone is most often found in alluvial deposits in the form of water-worn pebbles. For this reason, large solitaires weighing 5.00ct or more are seldom seen at retail. Most rhodolite is mined in Sri Lanka, Tanzania and Zimbabwe. It ranks a 7.5 on the Mohs Scale and is ideal for jewelry.
The ancients wore rhodolites as amulets for protection from injury or death in battles. Modern folklore says rhodolite can help one understand dreams, as well as bring about love and devotion when given as a gift.
Pronounced SAV-OH-RITE, the tsavorite gemstone features an intense green color that ranges from a vivid light hue to a deep, velvety forest shade. It is a member of the garnet family and is often referred to as a green grossularite. Like other garnets, tsavorite is naturally pristine with no treatments and features a strikingly high brilliance.
In 1967, British geologist Campbell R. Brides discovered tsavorite in Tanzania. He found strange, potato-shaped rocks that had breathtakingly beautiful green grains and crystals inside them. In 1971, he discovered the same gemstone vein extended into Kenya, where he could officially start exploiting the occurrence.
Henry Platt, the former president of Tiffany & Co in New York, named the stone after its occurrence near the famous game frontier, Tsavo-National Park. In 1974, Tiffany's started a special promotion campaign to make tsavorite well known throughout the United States. Campaigns in other countries followed, and tsavorite soon became sought-after everywhere.
Tsavorite is quite rare and can cost several thousand dollars per carat depending on size and quality. Larger stones are exceedingly scarce . Only occasionally is a rough crystal more than 5.00ct found, making tsavorites weighing 2.00ct or more quite valuable. Fortunately, the brilliance and luminosity of these gems are displayed even in smaller sizes. They rank a hardness of 7.5 on the Mohs Scale and enjoy an especially high light-refraction index.
Too new to have folklore of its own, tsavorite is believed to hold the mystical powers of garnet, including protection and healing. Garnets also symbolize loyalty and can be exchanged between friends to ensure they meet again.
Spessartite garnet can be red or blackish brown, but is most commonly available in rich golds, fiery oranges and warmer browns. Originally named after its occurrence in the German Spessart Mountains, there was a surprising discovery of the bright orange-red stone in Nigeria and Namibia. Until then, spessartites had existed as mere collector's items or rarities and were hardly ever used for jewelry because they were so rare. But the new location discovery changed the world of jewelry gemstones and spessartites made their way into jewelry fashion.
The most popular type of spessartite is the mandarin garnet, a gem that features a bright orange hue that ranges from that of ripe peaches to the deepest of red-orange sunsets. Signifying energy and joy of life, this stone represents the spirit of individuality and the vibrancy of life. The mandarin garnet has a remarkably high refraction of light, creating an exceptional brilliance that vividly sparkles even in unfavorable light. To bring out the best of the gem's unique color and brilliance, most are faceted cut to allow for this tremendous sparkle of fire.
The fascinating orange color featured in mandarin garnets plays an important role in Asian arts. Yellow and red, the two colors constituting orange, are not considered opposites in Asia, but rather complements to each other. The color symbolizes the continual change of life throughout the ages. Asian gods and Buddhist monks are often dressed in orange robes and the sky in Asian art is often painted orange.
Mandarin garnets were first found along the Kunene River in Namibia in 1991, embedded in the mica slate where they had been formed millions of years ago. Gemologists discovered the orange-colored stones were in fact variations of the rare spessartite gems and members of the garnet family. At that time, spessartites were fairly rare stones, even for collectors, and had hardly been used for jewelry. Some gemologists called the brilliant orange gemstones "kunene spessartine" according to their occurrence. But quite soon the term "mandarin garnet" spread throughout the international market and the stone made its successful appearance around the world. Popularity increased dramatically and the mine on the Kunene River was soon exploited. Fortunately, in April of 1994, mandarin garnets were discovered in Nigeria. The stones are now available once again in reliable amounts, though top-quality stones are rare and it is difficult to predict how long quantity will remain reliable.

At the recent Ferron City Council meeting, Dr. Glen Jensen of Emery Animal Health requested permission from the council to have Ferron's dog licenses on hand at the animal clinic. He explained his plans to hold two clinics at the animal health center, one on Dec. 18 from 8 a.m.-noon, and the second on Dec. 28 from 2-6 p.m. These clinics will be in addition to the regular clinics held by each city.
Dr. Jensen said that at least two professional associations for veterinarians have issued guidelines under which vaccinations to animals must be given. "To ethically give vaccinations to dogs, we must first do a physical examination of the animal. The task force, which was formed to study this issue, has recommended we treat each animal as an individual according to its activities, history, and lifestyle. The regular clinics held in each city, generally at the fire stations, put limitations on the time spent with each dog," said Dr. Jensen.
"With so many dogs in a relatively small space, many problems may arise. I propose to do these clinics at my animal health facility to try to eliminate those problems. With the public making appointments on these two days, we can see a great number of dogs, give physicals, vaccinations, and issue licenses for the city in which they live," said Dr. Jensen.
Dr. Jensen stated that for a $35 fee, an animal will be given an exam and rabies vaccination. Licenses will be issued at the site. Following the clinics held at Emery Animal Health, each city which participates, will be given a complete list of animals licensed, vaccination information, and 100 percent of the owner information.
Councilman Garrett Hansen voiced his concern over tracking the numbers on the licenses. Following a discussion of the tracking process by the city, the council agreed to let Emery Animal Health be responsible for 25 licenses to be issued to dog owners from Ferron who attend the clinics. It was also agreed upon that the regular rabies and licensing clinics normally held in Ferron by other veterinarians will also be held at the regular times after the first of the year.
In other business conducted by Ferron City Council, it was decided to adopt ordinance 2010-8 naming Ferron City a Tree City USA. This ordinance is a part of the certification process. Once the Tree City USA designation is in place, the city will be eligible for a $1,500 grant for trees to be planted in Ferron.
Councilman Trent Jackson announced the camera to be installed at the fairgrounds was installed before Dec. 1. The images from the camera can be accessed by computers in city hall.
The council tabled a request from two residents for consideration by the board of equalization for water bills. The water leaks have been repaired and the residents are eligible for consideration. The residents will be notified they must be present at the next meeting before the request can be acted upon.
Councilman Joe Trenery stated the city equipment is ready for winter with the plows having been installed recently. He also reminded all city residents to remove their personal property from the streets before the snow comes.
Councilman Mike Behling said garbage pickup in the city is changed from Friday to Thursday. This began Dec. 2.
The council approved two business license applications. The first is for a dog grooming business to be opened in the old Laundromat building. Second is a hair salon which will be opened in the Dugmore building.
Councilman Jackson announced plans for the Ferron City Christmas party to be held on Dec. 6 at Ferron Elementary.

How's this for a use of your "risk" money: Buy an ETF tracking stocks in Brazil, Russia, India and China — the much loathed BRICs. If you're more intrepid still, try on Argentina, Chile, or a frontier-market fund.
Maybe you'd rather use your money as wallpaper. But first hear out Ned Davis Research analysts Neil Leeson and Wenbo Zhou– they have some interesting numbers.
iShares MSCI BRIC ETF (BRK), which is on an upswing lately, has risen in December 90% of the time — for an average gain of 4.6%. Such a pronounced seasonal trend is pretty rare, they note.
Now add in some surprising context about interest-rate worries. While higher rates have sunk most emerging-markets investments this year, history suggests 34% of emerging-markets ETFs should have a positive reaction to a rising yield curve, and that includes bond ETFs, per the Ned Davis duo.
BRIC ETFs have been suffering investor outflows for a while now, but the outflows have slowed. "The trend and seasonality suggest you may want to get in early," NDR's Leeson says in a client-only podcast this week.
Risky idea? Sure? Foolhardy? Maybe. But the math for emerging-markets funds will eventually start to add up.

Soles starting to crack
"We bought these for our toddler daughter. We loved the Keen sandals and bought these thinking they'd be a similar quality. Most shoes she outgrows by the time they wear out; these shoes have cracks in the soles after a few weeks of wear. The cracking occurs where the toes would bend on both sides of the shoe. For the price, not worth it."
