User Ratings (2)
8.9
Traction
Multi-directional traction pattern with standard rubber. Excellent grip on clean courts but dust-sensitive and needs wiping.
8.4
Cushion
Cushlon 3.0 foam with cushioned footbed and top-loaded shank. Springy, balanced ride for the price but not top-tier.
7.4
Materials
Textile and firm synthetic upper with thick padded tongue. Feels stiff initially and requires break-in for comfort.
8.4
Support
Double-thickness heel counter with torsional support. Very stable and locked-in containment but reduces flexibility.
7.1
Fit
Runs narrow and snug with a longer tapered last. Forefoot is tight and benefits from break-in.
25%
Outdoor
Outsole rubber appears weak for outdoor play. Multiple reviewers warn it may not hold up on rough courts.
small
large
Sizing
True to size for narrow and medium feet. Wide footers should consider a half size up for more room.
narrow
wide
Width
Fits narrow to regular widths best. Wide feet will feel constricted and may need a half size up.
