Category Performance Ratings
9.0
Traction
Herringbone pattern with grippy rubber compound. Strong bite and reliable stops but attracts dust on court.
9.0
Cushion
Foam pads in forefoot and heel with EVA midsole. Soft, comfortable ride with good impact protection and fair responsiveness.
8.3
Materials
Fuse and mesh upper materials. Durable and serviceable but not premium, somewhat bulky and less breathable.
8.3
Support
Midfoot shank, large outrigger, molded heel counter. Provides solid stability and containment though ankle support is limited.
9.5
Fit
True to size with a snug, secure lockdown. Runs narrow in the forefoot and may need brief break-in.
75%
Outdoor
Durable rubber holds up well outdoors and maintains grip. Good outdoor performance for rough courts.

Sizing
Runs true to size for most players. Wide-footed players should assess fit carefully.

Tacky traction, much-improved cushion and very comfortable. The KT2 has enough of everything to make them a great option on-court, and it comes in at a reasonable price as well.

Midfoot shank, outrigger, heel counter and great containment of the upper do a solid job.
