On's move into tennis with the Roger range — developed with Roger Federer — has become one of the most searched-for shoe stories in the sport. Here's an honest review of how they perform on court.
The short version. The Roger range blends On's cushioning technology with tennis-specific support. They're light, comfortable straight out of the box, and stylish enough to wear off court — which is a big part of their appeal.
On-court performance. Grip is solid on hard courts, and the cushioning is noticeably comfortable on longer sessions. The lightweight build helps quick players get around the court, though very aggressive baseliners who drag their feet should check the outsole durability for their style.
Comfort and fit. This is where the Roger range shines — the cushioning is genuinely plush, and the fit suits medium-width feet well. Wider feet should size and try carefully.
Style. Let's be honest: a lot of people buy these because they look great. The clean, minimalist design crosses over from court to street better than almost any tennis shoe.
Who should buy them? Players who want comfort, low weight and standout looks, and who play mostly on hard courts. If you play heavy clay-court tennis or grind through long baseline rallies, weigh durability against the comfort.
Verdict: a genuinely good modern tennis shoe with unbeatable street appeal. Explore the On tennis shoes and wider range at Central Tennis, or compare across brands in our guide to tennis shoes for wide feet.
