adidas Men's Solecourt Boost Tennis Shoe

Product Information

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. He commented, "I found the outsoles to be on the stickier side, which was great when I needed to sprint toward a ball.

Also, although these shoes have Boost cushioning, I'm often on my toes, so the minimally cushioned forefoot can cause soreness. Balancing the qualities of grip and give, the SoleCourt Boosts seemed to have found that sweet spot that translates into confident movement on court. But they certainly felt lighter than the static weight would suggest, and I barely even noticed the weight once I had them on court. Within 15 minutes of wearing them I had raw ankles and some severe rubbing that only got worse as I played more. With a pronounced shank, an outrigger and adiwear 6 outsole, the SoleCourt Boosts boasted stability, traction and durability as their primary strengths.

With that said, the adidas SoleCourt Boost is currently one of their flagship high-performance tennis shoes worn by ATP and WTA tour athletes and intended to stand up to the demands of advanced players, while also serving as an excellent option for beginners and intermediates.

As is typical with more stable, durable shoe options, the SoleCourt Boosts didn't feel ultra light on the court.

As far as fit goes, the shoes do run a bit large, and they’re slightly wider up in the toe box, but honestly, I didn’t feel like I was swimming in them or wearing the wrong size. But for people with wider feet who fill out the shoes a bit more, I think they'll find the SoleCourt Boosts to feel faster than their weight would suggest. He said, "This shoe has very solid traction, but I was still able to slide, especially when moving laterally along the baseline. With that caveat out of the way, the redemption of the SoleCourts came as soon as the playtesters were able to put their on-court technology to use.

While it’s a bummer to lose the 6 month outsole guarantee, the SoleCourt Boost proved it is more than capable of providing comfort, support and top of the line stability for even the most demanding of player. He said, "The durability was excellent with these adidas SoleCourt Boosts, and it lived up to most adidas Barricade shoes that I have playtested. The forefoot felt very low to the court and was great for lateral movement, but it lacked some of the plushness that I look for in a shoe. If you’re not familiar with Boost, it’s hundreds or, in some cases, thousands of small plastic TPU particles that expand under heat to form closed cells around tiny air pockets.

Adidas Solecourt Boost womens's tennis shoes are a performance shoe and worn by all of Adidas' pro players. This new line brings increased usage of Adidas’ popular Boost foam, a redesigned chassis for support and stability and a sleek new aesthetic. He elaborated, "These SoleCourt Boosts have a somewhat substantial feel when it comes to weight, but after wearing them, I don't think they felt as heavy as the scale would indicate. In terms of weight, these shoes felt similar to the New Balance Fresh Foam Lavs, both of which I thought seemed lighter than the scale displayed.
