Best replacement for the Prince T22 Shoe

Best replacement for the Prince T22 Shoe
So you've worn the Prince T22 for years and now you can't find it and don't know what to do.  You are not alone! 

Note: this blog post has been updated May 2022 and updates made on styles that have been phased out.


Prince is out of business and thus, the T22 is hard to come by.  For those looking for the best substitution for a Prince T22 here is some help.  Many players wore the T22 for tennis or paddle sports because of the outsole durability (backed by Prince's 6 month outsole guarantee), and its wider forefoot.
