None of our playtesters were able to wear through the sole or toe during the playtest period. Wilsons 6-month outsole warranty, which now only applies to this shoe and the DST Original, is further testament to the shoes durability. Granville points out that despite this toughness, comfort is retained. There seems to be a fine line between durability and still having a soft, pliable outsole. This shoe successfully walks that line.
Traction is also impressive with the combination herringbone and pillar tread design.
I never slipped or felt like my ankle would roll over. The Sensation DST weighs in at a hefty 18.9 ounces, a result of all the technical features and the durable outsole. We recognize that a shoe featuring substantial support, cushioning and durability will usually be heavier. Nonetheless, players seeking a lightweight, maneuverable shoe should probably look elsewhere. The Sensation DST is a quality shoe that provides excellent support, above average cushioning, and superior durability.
