Wilson Rush Pro 4.5 Men

Men

The Rush Pro 4.5 uses mesh that is more open at the front and tighter around the heel. An inner sock and split support chassis hold the foot, with Energy Cell EVA under the forefoot. This page covers the all-court tennis version.

Main trade-off

Cushioning and support are the appeal; outsole life is less convincing in independent tennis testing.

Editorial assessment

This is still worth comparing when the current offer is good. Several tennis playtesters liked its cushioning and flexible upper, although a narrow-footed tester found spare room inside. That makes foot hold a more useful buying check than the Pro name.

We would be more cautious if sole wear is your main complaint with previous shoes. Reports of early wear in tennis testing rule out an easy “built to last” recommendation. They do not tell us how long your pair will last on a padel court.

Documented features

An all-court tennis outsole in Duralast rubber, an R-DST+ midsole with Energy Cell EVA in the forefoot, a moulded OrthoLite insole, a 4D Support Chassis 2.0 and a graduated engineered mesh upper with an Endofit inner sock.

    • + Separate forefoot cushioning.

    Drawbacks

    • − Some narrow feet may find too much room inside.

    Fit information

    Check whether your foot slides forward or sideways once the laces are adjusted. Try it with the socks you normally play in. Do not accept a loose fit just because the shoe feels comfortable while standing still.

    FAQ

    Is this the Rush Pro 4.5 Clay?

    No. The checked White/Green article is the all-court version. Rush Pro 4.5 Clay is a separate model with a different outsole, so check the court version when comparing offers.

    Is Rush Pro 4.5 still worth buying?

    Yes, if it fits securely and the current price makes sense against the alternatives. Being an older generation is not a reason to reject it. We would be less keen if maximum outsole life is your priority.

    Does Rush Pro 4.5 suit narrow feet?

    Check it carefully. A narrow-footed tennis tester found extra room inside, so make sure your foot stays in place during a sideways step and a forward stop. More lace tension should not be the only thing preventing movement.
