Product Information

The toe box of the SoleCourt Boosts was a bit too wide for me, though, especially after I broke them in. subscribing to the Tennis-Point Newsletter you give consent to Tennis-Point GmbH contacting you by electronic mail (e. Although the SoleCourt Boost was not designed to replace the Barricade, much of the heritage and technology has been adopted into this new offering. The toes have held up exceptionally well, too; there is not much wear on this part of the shoe at all. The underfoot cushioning was nice, but it definitely felt firmer than the Stella Barricade Boosts, which are just so plush and comfortable.

Jason generally felt satisfied with the stability of his pair, but he had an issue with his laces loosening during play. A few times when I sprinted forward to run down a drop shot and came to a sudden stop, I felt my toes jamming into the front of these shoes. Although the coveted material spans from heel to midfoot, our testers were pretty split on how they felt about the comfort of their pairs. I'd say the ventilation is probably not the best, since my feet felt fairly warm after an hour of hitting.I love the black colorway, and although they’re certainly not intended for daily wear, it’s one of the few tennis shoes that I think looks good on and off the court – especially when compared to some other models out there like the Asics Court FF 2, which feel out of place off the court.

Though she came into this playtest with high hopes, Michelle also experienced some issues with fit and ankle comfort. My SoleCourt Boosts still look virtually new, and I've easily put in 15 hours of court time with them.

Place your right foot (or your stronger, longer foot) diagonally on the sheet of paper so that it does not protrude beyond the edge of the sheet at any point. Released in January 2019, the adidas SoleCourt Boost was perhaps the closest alternative for longtime fans of the Barricade, which after nearly two decades, didn’t receive an update last year and won’t in 2020.Within 15 minutes of wearing them I had raw ankles and some severe rubbing that only got worse as I played more. These shoes feature an outsole with a universal tread pattern to provide the right balance of grip and give on both hard and clay courts, and even grass. Perhaps one of the shoe’s most significant weaknesses comes with ventilation as there’s not much offered in terms of breathability or airflow to allow heat to escape. I know the Ubersonics can sometimes play a bit too slippery, but this was not the case with the SoleCourt Boosts.

I’d have to play it during the hot summer months to be sure, but there was no indication that the shoe would trap extensive amounts of heat and leave my feet soaked.

Plimsoles remained the footwear of choice for most players of the time, but that soon changed when adi recruited French pro Robert Haillet to wear their new creation, emblazoning his face on the tongue and sending him out to show the shoe’s potential to the world. She described, "These shoes felt grippy on the court, but they also weren't so grippy that I ever felt stuck. I had a lot of extra room in the toe box, but I don't think it was enough to go down a half size, so I stayed in my true size. The toe box switched to EVA foam and I could feel the transition under foot a little bit, but it was nothing that hindered my movement or felt uncomfortable.
