Category Performance Ratings
5.0
Traction
Unknown traction pattern with a hard rubber compound. Reviewers reported poor grip and sliding on court, making stops unreliable.
8.5
Cushion
Responsive foam setup with a bouncy forefoot and solid impact protection. Ride feels lively and protective for guards and wings.
8.0
Materials
Soft mesh upper with a Kurim overlay. Comfortable and attractive upper but overlay feels unnecessary and durability is average.
7.0
Support
No molded heel counter and limited forefoot containment. Support relies on lacing and upper materials, leading to inconsistent stability.
9.0
Fit
Runs true to size with a normal to slightly wide fit. Good lockdown when laced but some users still reported heel slip.
25%
Outdoor
Hard rubber should hold up outdoors according to one reviewer. Another warned against prolonged outdoor use, so durability is mixed.
small
large
Sizing
Runs true to size. Reviewers recommend ordering your normal size.
narrow
wide
Width
Fits normal to slightly wide feet best. Little dead space in the toebox but roomy for average widths.

I didn't like the Melo M13. As a guard, don't get these! The cushioning and the materials are good, but the traction was a dealbreaker for me.

Nice try, but not quite. Felled by traction and support, the Melo M13 had potential.

No heel counter, no forefoot containment, which means my foot was all over the place inside the shoe while cutting and stopping.

Once laced solid, there is no heel slip or midfoot movement to really complain about.
