I wear Warrior court shoes every day for 2 hours of Pickle ball and have always been impressed with the support and excellent wear ability of the sole. Prince no longer makes the Warrior (and perhaps now the Lite) so when these showed up for 1/2 what I was paying I thought I would give them a try. These are still an excellent shoe. From what I can tell the difference between these and the original is a lighter insole, foam vs. silicone and the heel box no longer has the outer mesh. On these it is just a padded material. Still very good support and durability in the sole but a little lighter which since the originals were heavy is a welcome change.
