The Wilson Rush Lite 5 is the lightest and most forgiving shoe in Wilson's Rush tennis family. It brings Rush speed and stability into a fresh, easy fit for players of every level: EndoFit midfoot support, a single-layer engineered mesh upper that adapts to different foot shapes, and an RDST+ midsole over a thick drop-in sockliner. At about 403 g it is roughly 70 g lighter than the Rush Pro 5 and Rush Tour 5, and it comes in all-court and clay versions.

Below is every Rush Lite 5 colorway we carry at Racquet Point, all-court and clay, in men's US sizes 7 to 14. Wilson footwear ships free on orders over $75.

What makes the Rush Lite 5 different

Wilson built the Rush Lite 5 for players who want to play fast and stay comfortable without the weight of a full stability shoe.

Wilson Rush Lite 5 EndoFit midfoot support and single-layer mesh upper

Fast play, instant comfort

EndoFit midfoot support adds light, reliable structure, and the single-layer engineered mesh upper adapts to different foot shapes for an easy, natural fit straight out of the box.

Responsive comfort, fresh legs

A thick EVA drop-in sockliner made from supercompressed foam pairs with a responsive RDST+ midsole. Together they absorb impact and keep the ride bright and bouncy through long rallies.

Wilson Rush Lite 5 Duralast outsole, TPU Speed Plate and medial drag pad

Quick moves, all-court grip

A TPU Speed Plate helps propulsion on quick transitions. Underfoot, a Duralast high-abrasion rubber outsole gives reliable traction, and a medial drag pad protects the shoe on slides and quick stops.

Rush Lite 5 vs Rush Pro 5 vs Rush Tour 5

All three share Wilson's Rush fit. What separates them is how much structure sits under the foot and what the shoe weighs.

Model MSRP Stability Midsole Upper Sample weight Best for
Rush Tour 5 $210 Dual Axis Speed Carbon chassis, 4D Flex Carbon Super foam, drop-in Gammaweave mesh 475 g / 16.8 oz Advanced players who want maximum lateral support

The short version

You want speed and comfort right out of the box. The Rush Lite 5. Light, forgiving and well cushioned, at the lowest price in the family.
You need the shoe to hold you through hard lateral moves. Step up to the Rush Pro 5 for its TPU stability chassis and dual-density midsole.
You want Wilson's most supportive shoe. The Rush Tour 5, with a Dual Axis Speed Carbon chassis and super foam.

All-court or clay?

The all-court Rush Lite 5 suits hard courts and mixed surfaces. The Rush Lite 5 Clay keeps the same forgiving fit, sockliner and RDST+ midsole but uses a clay-specific Duralast outsole for traction on clay and Har-Tru. If most of your tennis is on clay, choose the clay version.

Fit and sizing

The single-layer mesh upper gives the Rush Lite 5 the most forgiving fit in the Rush family, which makes it a good choice for a range of foot shapes. Sizes run US 7 to 12.5 in half sizes, plus 13 and 14, with exact availability shown on each colorway.
