WHY CHOOSE A TENNIS-SPECIFIC SHOE?
There are lots of reasons!
The way you move around the court is different to how you move when doing other sports such as running and fitness training. You quickly move forward and back as well as side to side. Tennis shoes offer the support you need to play safely, thereby reducing the risk of injury.
Your cushioning needs are also specific as your feet require complete protection from impacts.
Comfort
The most comfortable shoe in our Artengo range thanks to its cushioning tested and approved by a panel of intermediate tennis players and also more skilled players (Certified women instructors). These players enjoyed its soft cushioning and good bounce.
The shoes are tested in a lab on a standardised machine that reproduces the impact of the heel when playing tennis using an 8 kg impactor.
INTERNAL FIT
This shoe is designed to have a tennis-specific fit that makes you more comfortable. The shape has been approved for playing tennis by our R&D teams using scans of thousands of users' feet and analysing foot movements during play.
RESISTANCE TO WEAR
When you move around the court you sometimes drag your shoes along the ground, which makes the sole wear out faster. The surfaces you play on are also abrasive. Our shoes are tested in the lab on a machine that has been specially developed to reproduce the type of heel, forefoot, toe and instep wear seen during regular play
