by Joyce Amerson

Whether you're slamming serves or blasting backhanded shots, you depend on the top women's tennis shoes to keep you going for the win. The right women's tennis shoes are never more important than when you're working out. Comfort, support, and durability are all indispensable factors. Between pushy salesmen and ad-based websites, it's hard to sort through who'll deliver the best women's tennis shoe for you. So, we've gathered three top performers to keep you on your best game!

The first women's tennis shoe we'll be looking at is the WCT 1003 by New Balance. The reason the WCT 1003 made the list is that it's the new improved version on the ever-popular WCT 1002. Generally, New balance is known for its wider fit. However, with new N-lock technology (an integrated laced and web system) down the sides, this women's tennis shoe provides a tight, comfortable, and supported fit for the court. Another new feature of this great and reliable women's tennis shoe is its extended length of the Ndurance rubber outsole for extra durability and traction. Plus, with its new, increased breathability, your feet will stay cool, and your shoes will dry fast. As always with New Balance, the WCT 1003 has incredible support and cushioning, provided by its S-curve. Available in a timeless white and light blue design, this women's tennis shoe will keep you hitting aces!

Another heavy hitter for on-court action, Asics' Gel Resolution 2, has proven time and again to be a real winner. This women's tennis shoe is another second-generation improvement from a previously popular shoe. Lauded for their consistent, lightweight support and comfort, Asics is the choice for those of us with knee issues. Perhaps better known for their running shoes, this hidden gem is a real treat of a women's tennis shoe. Complete with increased support in the upper, and Asics Gel cushioning system to lessen shock-impact while on the court, you'll be kept on your toes with this fabulous shoe. Its Personal Heel Fit (PHF) memory foam lines the heel collar, and molds to support your unique shape and needs. Plus, with mesh running throughout the shoe, breathability is at its best. And, we all know that cutting across the court, and quick turns make durability absolutely key when it comes to women's tennis shoes, so Asics has included its PGuard for extra protection from extreme court contact. If you're looking for a narrow women's tennis shoe with extra comfort for your joints, Asics' Gel Resolution is definitely your best bet.

If you're really looking for a classic women's tennis shoe from a tennis-specific company, Prince's '09 OC-1 is right for you. We'll keep it short and sweet for this expert version of a women's tennis shoe. With its new, re-engineered Precise Tube Technology and "GreenFit" sock liner, this women's tennis shoe has superior cushioning and lining for extra comfort. Complete with PRC1000 outsole, your traction and durability on varied surfaces will be top-notch. For a completely reliable and trustworthy women's tennis, shoe you can always count on the experts at Prince.

We've rounded out three of the best options in women's tennis shoes to help you balance out your needs with the right shoe. For a wider foot, and bouncier feel, New Balance comes out on top, while narrower feet and knee issues belong with Asics. Or, for a solid, all-around winner, you really can't go wrong with the top of the line, trustworthy women's tennis shoe line at Prince. Go forth and win in the top women's tennis shoe for you!
