Category Performance Ratings
9.0
Traction
Same outsole pattern as the D Rose 7 with unspecified rubber. Very sticky bite after a short break-in; great indoor grip and good outdoor bite.
9.0
Cushion
Partially caged full-length Lightstrike foam. Strong heel impact protection with modest forefoot bounce and overall protective ride.
7.5
Materials
Mesh upper with synthetic elements. Durability and feel split by reviewers from sturdy and supportive to thin and flimsy.
9.0
Support
Heel counter that extends into the midfoot plus a wide outsole and forefoot rubber protrusions. Provides strong lateral stability but limited ankle support.
7.5
Fit
Runs roomy with extra forefoot space and a bit of toe length. Heel lockdown is solid. Recommend going down half a size for snug fit.
100%
Outdoor
Rubber held up reasonably well outdoors. Traction bite remained good and outsole durability was acceptable on rough courts.
small
large
Sizing
Runs large for many players. Reviewers consistently recommend going down half a size for a better fit.
narrow
wide
Width
Fits wide overall and suits wide-footed players. Narrow feet may feel swimming in the forefoot; consider smaller sizing.

Personally, I like the D Rose 11 better than the 10. For $120 I don't think you'll be disappointed with these. Just watch out for the break-in period with the traction.

I'm not a huge fan of the D Rose 11 (or any D Rose since the 7). If you have wide feet and like a roomier fit then you will probably enjoy these more than I did. The cushion and traction are nice though.

I love the lightstrike cushioning on the D Rose 11s and the impact protection it offers is the hest in my collection. The Traction is great on everything except smoother outdoor courts. It's a big shoe, so for me it didn't offer the greatest lateral support. The uppers aren't super flexible and I'm not a fan of the material, but overall the materials on this shoe are very nice and it should hold up outdoors. If you need a wider toe box this is probably a great shoe for you.

This outsole pattern is mostly identical to the D Rose 7 and the traction is really good. There was an initial break-in period, but after that, the traction was really nice.

This traction pattern looks very similar to the D Rose 7 which had god-tier traction. I only got to try these outdoors and the bite was really good. I also tried them on my wood floors indoors and they seemed good.

The partially caged full-length Lightstrike felt really really nice. There is great impact protection in the heel and subtle bounce in the forefoot. I do wish there was a little less caging, but overall the cushion is really good.

The full-length Lightstrike cushion feels awesome, especially in the heel. The forefoot is kind of dead, but there is some good bounce in the heel. Overall, impact protection is really nice and the court feel is good too.

The upper is a sturdy mesh that feels pretty nice with solid support and rigidity. Overall, the material usage is pretty good and gets the job done performance wise.

The materials are my least favorite part of the shoe. The upper is thin and minimal but didn't feel very nice on foot. Overall, the materials feel flimsy and cheap.

The support of the D Rose 11 is really good. I experienced no heel slippage, side to side movement on the footbed, or lateral instability. I liked that the heel counter came through the midfoot to help contain the foot.

I had no issues with lateral containment and lateral stability was insane. The rubber protrudes out a lot in the forefoot for a very wide base. These don't have a lot of ankle support if you need that.

A little wide in the forefoot which was nice for my slightly wide feet. If you have narrow feet you might be swimming in these a bit. Overall fit was okay.

The fit was pretty bad for me. D Rose shoes have never fit well for me. There was some extra space in the toe box and length in the toe. I like my shoes to be snug and narrow and the D Rose 11 wasn't that.
