I loved the knit, but the fit on the 20s was pure garbage. Good to hear these seem to fit better.

Nope just got them the other day. Never even tried to on. I ordered from Dicks same day delivery. I think these were shoes someone tried on because there were carpet particles outsole

Freshwaters have pretty bad build quality tbh. Both pairs at DSG I looked at had glue stains, misaligned heel tabs, etc. Pretty disappointing for a $200 shoe.

21s are also a little more flexible underfoot. The laces are really nice too.

I asked a CS rep this morning and I was told its automatically applied at checkout. Try that first and if you don't get one, hit up CS.

Thanks. I did a chat with CS, and they applied it retroactively for my order this morning for me.
Had grabbed the new 21s and socks. Not a bad price after the discount!
Also got a discount from Dicks for the fresh water, as they messed up on my Sabrina order.

Just couldn’t myself to pull the trigger on the orange pair…
$180 plus tax still woulda ran me close to $200, and that’s way too much for a colorway I LIKE but don’t LOVE
So now we wait…

Especially after like 6 months of playing in a pair… became unusable on court after that amount of time

hooped in them for 3 hrs and yeah that tongue really digs into your ankle area for sure... got some blisters after a session. hopefully the tongue issue goes away as I break these in.

Got the 20 in 1/2 size up and was still pretty snug in the toe box. But I don’t really feel it during play. Just wouldn’t wear them casually. A bigger toe box would be a nice improvement. The 21 tongue digging in sounds annoying.
