Comments: I bought these shoes back in June 2012 and the outsoles have become unglued. I hope they will be
replaced either by TW or Babolat. I like the fit though.
Comments: I've been playing with these for 5 months. They are comfortable, low to the ground and light on my
feet. I am in between sizes, so I ordered the larger size and they have worked well. A tad snug in the toe box when sliding
forward, but not bad. The rubber on the toe of the shoe has separated from the top of the toe box, but it hasn't caused any
issues. I shredded one shoe lace by letting it get caught in the velcro. I play 3 times a week for 3-5 hours at a time. At this
point, it looks like these will outlast the 6 month guarantee. They insoles could use a little more cushion, but overall these are
stable, durable and "quick" shoes. A great value at their current price ($70.)
Comments: I bought these shoes since many people said they had nice feel.
Also they are light and no one told has told me that they have rolled
their ankle. The big problem is the durability was awful. I play about 4
to 6 hours every day. These shoes lasted me a month and the 6 month guarantee gave me another pair. This pair lasted a month
as well so unless
you have a lot of money or play very little, I don't recommend these
shoes. Switch to Lotto if you are having the same trouble I am with durability. The Lotto shoes have lasted me about 4 months.
Comments: Cannot wear these shoes anymore - my achilles tendon flares up within minutes and I can't
move without extreme discomfort. At first I thought it was me having some tendonitis issues in my ankles but after
reading several other posts it's now apparent it's the shoe. That does not make it a bad shoe as obviously it's not a
problem for a lot of people but buyer beware, this shoe is not for everyone.
Comments: Durability wise these shoes perform a little bit better than the Nike CB 3.3's. Feels like you're
wearing a glove on your foot if you cinch up the laces and the velcro system the right way. The black colorway looks
amazing at night. Decent ventilation, great traction, and a great low to the ground feel are the best parts of this shoe.
The lateral stability of the shoe is sometimes lacking. The inner side of the shoe is not as built up as the outside is,
which gave me some frights when I chased some balls down. Other than that, great shoe!
Comments: These really are great shoes out of the box. I would disagree that you should buy a half size
larger as
the upper is soft and will conform to your foot within an hour or so. The insole is not top notch as one other review had
mentioned. I put a pair of super feet in the shoes and they feel and perform wonderfully. At this price with a 6 month
wear
guarantee there isn't a better shoe out there.
Comments: I thought these were awesome shoes. My reccomendation would be to buy half a size larger.
Comments: Awesome shoe! Durable, lightweight, and comfortable! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Just don't
let the
shoelace touch the velcro...
Comments: Overall, a decent shoe, but I no longer play with them. It's comfortable out of the box, looks
good, feels low to the ground, is fast, has somewhat decent traction, and runs slightly on the
wide side. All great attributes and things to look for in a shoe. One of the main cons is the
Babolat insole is too thin, a poor design and cheaply made. I have the same issue with the
Babolat Team All Court 4. The insole doesn't stay fixed in the bottom of the shoe and moves
left and right during lateral movement. I had to take my shoes off and adjust the insoles on
changeovers because they'd be on the sides of my feet, not the bottom of the shoe. I'm on the
lookout for custom insoles to revive the shoe, but in the meantime I'm satisfied with the new
Prince Rebel 2.
Comments: Awesome shoe! Durable, lightweight, and comfortable! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Just don't
let the
shoelace touch the velcro...
Comments: I reviewed this shoe after I purchased them in October. They were comfortable right out of
the box and
gave good support and traction. They are more comfortable than Nike Court Ballistecs and maybe a little more durable
in my
opinion. They are not as flashy in looks and they don't have Rafa as their model, but they are good shoes. Finally they
have a
hole in the toe and are worn in the heel, so I will return them for my replacements. But overall, every shoe that I had
has needed
to be replaced. Nike are just a little sooner. Maybe it is the heat of summer that wears them out faster, but I will let
you know
after I get the new ones and play on hotter courts in the next few months.
Comments: These shoes are good for junior players. They tend to run about 1/2 of a size up, but they
feel
comfortable and they are durable.
Comments: This could be the best pair of tennis shoes that I have owned in terms of stability, speed,
design and
weight, but please ensure customers buy 1/2 to one full size larger than their typical size. I also concurrently own a
Yonex SHT-
307. This shoe gives greater stability but provides less toe comfort and durability, relative to the Yonex, if one
purchases one's
regular shoe size.
Comments: Ordered 1/2 size up, and it fit perfect. It's pretty comfort, stable, good support, and fast
(low to the
ground), don't know its durability but I'm not that worry with its 6 months warranty.
Comments: I guess you must order at least half size up. My foot was packed in the shoe and it was
painful. Little
room in the toe box. I really wanted to like this shoe because it looked fantastic and it's only $70 now but it was a bad
experience.
Comments: Very comfortable, but only lasted 2 months. Just got new pair....highly recommend.
Comments: I like these shoes. I have tried Prince and Nike in the past. Nike has very low durability, but
very light
and stylish. Prince on the other hand, is not so stylish, looks bulky, but has the best comfort in my opinion. These
Babolat's were
pretty descent in terms of style, but I was mainly interested in how long they would survive. The Nike shoes last about a
couple
months, with 6 days a week play, 2 hours a day, indoor and outdoor hard courts. The Prince shoes last a big longer,
maybe a
month longer than the Nike's. The Babolat's straps were not all that handy because I could only tighten the one going
across my
forefoot. The one on the heel was really hard to tighten, and I didn't feel a difference when loose and tight. Overall, the
shoes
were great, I just received my durability guaranteed pair, and am looking forward to playing in them.
Comments: These were decent tennis shoes. Make sure when you buy them to buy a 1/2 size up. I found
that my
toes would continuously ram into the head of the shoe. Also, these are very loose. After an hour of tennis, I get blisters
on my
feet.
Comments: The shoes seem to be well made with very good style and looks. Although I haven't used
them for long
on the courts. I felt like I had to wear them around the house to break them in a little.I have a wide foot so I am glad I
read the
reviews from Tennis Warehouse before selecting a size. I normally don't buy shoes online because of not being able to
try on.
After reading so many reviews of people saying order a half size larger than what you normally wear I decided to take
that advice.
Glad I did because normally I wear 10 1/2 ordered a size 11. Turned out to be a good fit. 10 1/2 would of been way to
snug.
Comments: I got these for outdoor racquetball and now I use them in indoor racquetball on wood courts.
I love
these shoes. They fit so snugly like a glove and I love the two velcro adjustments because after a couple games I need
to tighten
them a little. Feels like the lightest shoe I've ever worn and are super fast for quick adjustments on the indoor
racquetball courts. I
am buying more for replacements in the future.
Comments: I thought these shoes would do its job with all the Velcro on it and a durability warranty. 3
months into
the shoe there's already a rip on the sides of arches on the fabric. The balls of the forefoot have already lost its tread
and is as
bald and shiny as my head. I bought these in June and only by August did I feel comfy in them. They were very stiff at
the
beginning and I tried wearing them for a while before playing with them but it was only when I started running in them
that they
started to feel more comfortable and breakdown. Now that they are completely comfortable there's no tread on the sole
now and
it's starting to rip larger on the side. Also, I am concerned as to why they are quite wide for my 10.5 size foot but the
length is just
perfect.
Comments: Once again, these shoes tend to run small. Go at least 1/2 a size larger than what you
usually wear.
Comments: Lots of reviews on these shoes but I am one of the ones who think these are great shoes.
They are far
far more comfortable than the Nike Court Ballistecs (any of them). They are lighter on the feet, give great support and
are
comfortable right out of the box. I really didn't feel like they needed much break-in at all. I don't know about the
durability yet,
but for the price ($69) two pair ain't a bad deal. I will but another pair in the next few weeks because I know they won't
last at this
price. So don't try them! Keep them at TW so I can buy them whenever I need them.
Comments: These shoes (size 9) did not work for me. Too narrow and felt like baseball cleats on the
court. After
one match, my feet had swollen to the point where they were breaking out the toe and were too small. I prefer a wider
shoe.
Comments: These shoes are really very nice. I don't want anything I say to take away from the shoe.
There is a
break-in period, and your feet will hurt the first couple of times. After that the technical of the shoe is fantastic.
Wonderful hold
on the courts, strong, gives the wearer a great sense of trust in their footing. The upper is somewhat weak, and the
biggest
problem I have with this shoe is if the upper tears anywhere it creates very painful pressure points in the shoe. This
happened to
me and one of my favorite shoes became my least favorite. Maybe you'll get lucky and the upper wont rip, but if you cut
hard and
move fast, this shoe will not last you long.
Comments: Comfort is very good if you buy a half or full size larger. I really like the feel of these shoes;
however,
with both pairs I've bought, after only three months of hard court use average six or seven hours a week, a hole has
worn through
the right foot under sole at the toe. This hasn't happened with any other shoe I've worn. For those who play only once a
week, I
highly recommend these for comfort and support. So for me, comfort is great, durability is so-so. They do have a 6-
month
durability guarantee though, so save your receipt, but I am not a fan of having to return shoes.
Comments: I'm liking this shoe. It gives up traction and stability as compared to the Nike Court Ballistec
1.3 and
2.3 but it feels lighter. It is more slipper-like as opposed to the boot like construction of the Nike's. It is almost as
good as the
Asics Gel Resolution 2's except it's a little less stable. Also, the foot belts actually work. Totally wrote those off as a
unattractive
cosmetic thing. I'm a 4.0.
Comments: Coming from the adidas Barricade V's and Genius II, this was a great shoe
with lots of room in the toe box for my wide feet. The straps really
lock your foot into the shoe. Since I have flat feet, it was a must to
get some insoles to really support my arch on such a low shoe. The shoe is super light so it really moves easily with
your foot, the
only problem being that you have to make sure to lace up near the toe tight so you don't slosh around when quickly
pushing off
from side to side. Another point is to wear long socks initially so the back of the shoe doesn't dig into your Achilles
area. I had to
tape up the Achilles area after wearing low socks the first time out. If you have any kind of knee, leg, or back pain when
wearing
shoes get insoles because most likely your foot isn't contacting the ground properly.
Comments: My first impression was positive regarding fit and feel wearing them around the house.
After playing
for 2 hours on hard courts my arches ached. The next morning I woke up with lower leg and low back pain. I played 4
or five
more times a couple of days apart and the pain continued. I wish I had read these reviews before purchasing these
shoes. I have
switched to the Wilson Tour Vision and the pain is gone. Granted, I am 43 and 6'4" 220lbs and I am pretty tough on
shoes. These
shoes are definitely not for me.
Comments: For me, this is the most comfortable shoe that I have ever owned. Having read other reviews
before
buying this shoe, others have complained about the comfort of this shoe, and this points out that shoe comfort is very
dependent
on the individual. So take the comments on comfort with a grain of salt. I like everything about this shoe and would
buy it again
in a heartbeat. I haven't had the shoe long enough to comment on the durability, however, it feels well made.
Comments: Best tennis shoe I've ever used. I had a pair of Prince T22s previously, and this are a big
improvement.
Much lighter, feel more responsive, and very little break in period. I'm a bigger player (6'2, 240lbs), but these shoes feel
supportive and solid. Will definitely get another pair in the future.
Comments: I am on my second pair of Propulse 2s - fantastic shoe! The tread grips the court well and is
fairly
long-lasting. Cushioning is just right; not too squishy, but supportive and comfortable enough to run around the court
all day. I
love the straps, you can really customize this shoe to your foot. The shoe plays lighter than one would think from the
weight. They
feel much lighter than my old Barricade Vs. I do think the shoes need a slight break-in period. Mine felt right after
wearing them
around the house/office for a few days followed by a couple sets. Initially they were a bit too stiff. Thanks, TW!!!
Comments: I've had these shoes for a while now and they are great. Very comfy and great fit. The Velcro
straps help
give me ankle support and the shoes fit like a glove. One complaint I have is the rubber bottom soles run down
somewhat fast,
the traction is still good but I can feel them becoming "bald." I play about 7-9 hours a day so the overuse could be why
but I
strongly suggest buying these shoes and will by buying another pair soon provided that they don't sell out fast!

Comments: This is a solid all-around shoe. The grip is excellent even when the
tread is worn and the wear is decent. I really like the velcro strap across
the foot to lock-down but the cushion is not that great. Note: I use
orange Superfeet in place of the stock insole but I do the same with my
NB 804 and they have more cushion.
Comments: I loved the Propulse I, but hate the II. The rear belt serves no better function than to irritate
your
achilles tendon, which after three days of use is inflamed on both ankles. Now I don't know what to do with these
shoes. Now that
I read other reviews I see this is not uncommon... great.
Comments: I bought these sneakers because they were on sale. I use these primarily on hard court. The
traction is
great, the responsiveness is great, the lightness is great. I really like the footbelts they give you that customized glove
fit. Don't
think twice before buying this shoe. This shoe also didn't have a huge break in time by any means.
Comments: I bought these since they were on sale and I'm always searching for the
perfect shoe for my foot. This isn't it. Fits well and I like the adjustment straps. The only problem is that it doesn't have
a wide
base so I feel like I could turn an ankle by stepping on a pebble.
Comments: I prefer the mens colors. I changed out the insole with the arch support insole also sold at
TW for extra
cushioning. This shoe is fun, fast and responsive on court. I love the grip on the outside foot edge, great for using leg
power in
my shots or quick footwork and changes in direction. The vents on top of the shoe are outstanding for airflow. The
plastic on the
top forefoot is too stiff when the shoe bends (scraped my skin through the sock) but I'm trying to break that in. Overall
I am really
happy with this shoe and would consider buying Babolat again
in the future.
Comments: I really like this shoe and am on my second pair. However, it'll be my last because I keep
blowing out
the top by my big toe. The first pair I thought it was just a fluke, but it happened again. I'll stick with Babolat because
they fit my
feet excellent, but I'm going to switch to the all court pro for the leather upper.
Comments: I really like the Propulse II. You can feel the court with your toes and get a feel on where your
feet are
relative to the court. This helps you improve on your footwork and feet positioning when hitting a fore or backhand.
The shoe is
very stable with your feet. Very little slippage or irregular feelings on your feet. Cushioning is great. You can feel the
shock
absorption effect. You can tell that impact on your feet is being negated. Traction is very good. you can feel the shoes
planted and
ready to propel your body into a big hit. Compared to some other shoes I have tried: this has equal shock/impact
absorption as
the Asics resolution 2 gel and has better fit and traction; this has better cushioning, build, traction, and stability than
the Nike
ballistic 2.3 and breathe 2k; same cushioning as Adidas barricade but not as clunky. I would highly recommend these
shoes.
Comments: By far the best shoe I've ever worn! I go through a pair of shoes every 3 months, and try new
shoes
each time (Air Ballistic, Adidas, Asics, Diadora, Prince). I've finally found the right pair for me. Solid grip, secure foot
(important
for my knee trouble), and durable (also - nice looking!). I'll keep buying Babolat as long as they keep making a shoe
this good.
Comments:We talk about racquets being great platforms for customization - these shoes are great
platforms for
customization: low to ground, significant forefoot volume - add a thin cushion insole--tons of cushion, eliminates
volume, not
too high of ground like..say gel resolution 3!! Try Spenco RX® Comfort Insoles, same level of cushion on heel as
forefoot so no
elevated heel and minimal impact to intended fit.
Comments: I got these shoes twice, the first pair's outsole lasted just under six months. This pair's
outsole lasted
less than two months. Maybe I just got a bad pair. Best feeling, looking, and playing shoe while it lasts. I give it an 8
out of ten
Comments: These shoes are like small tanks and my foot feels very protected, yet they are light and
comfortable. I
played almost every day last year and they lasted the entire season. The sole is the best I've felt so far, and they look
amazing.
I'm buying them again this year.
Comments: Extremely solid and capable shoes. It took a while to break in, but once broken, it's like a
slipper. And
the intricate straps and plastics make it feel real secure and comfy.
Comments: Didn't like the lacing system, the straps are a hassle and just get in the way, lose the straps
Babs.
Comments: The first week with this shoes was a little painful in the zone of the ankle, but it disappear
quickly. I
have a pair of this since they went on sale, and Im still using it and the grip are still awesome. Great deal with Propulse
II.
Comments: Hey TW staff, do you know when the new Propulse 3's are coming out? I can't wait to order
them!
Comments: Just wanted to give an update to my review I gave 8 months ago. Still wearing the same pair
and they
still feel great and are really holding up well. I play aggressive doubles tennis two or three times a week.
Comments:Bottom Line, PAINFUL! My first night on the court in these shoes was a very positive
experience. You can
strap yourself into these shoes very snugly thanks to the two Velcro over-straps, one on top and one on the heel. I felt
great
confidence that I wasn't slipping out of these shoes in any way. However, after 4 days of playing every other day or so,
(nothing
unusual for me) I'm unable to walk around the house without significant pain in my ankles, Achilles heals, behind my
shins, and
my lower back. This never happens to me. My last shoe was the Nike Vapor 5. I loved them so much I bought 5 pairs. It
took me
18 months or so to wear through those, but they were a plush ride compared to these, in which I could feel the hard
court all too
well on aggressive footings. While playing yesterday I remember thinking, I hope he hits the ball to me so I don't have
to move.
That's when I knew something was wrong!
Comments: I recently just switched from the Nike CourtBallistecs 2.3's because they didn't have great
traction. Then
I discovered the Propulse. Now these are about the GREATEST SHOES I've eve worn. They felt great right out of the box.
The strap
belts were questionable to me until I tightened them and I could feel the support when I played. Great Durability and
traction. I'd
give them a 10/10.
Comments:If you like Barricade 5's, and can't get 'em anymore, you'll love these shoes. Not stiff and
clunky like
Barricade 6's. Wear much better than Nike's, that fall apart and exhibit high sole wear. They do run a half-size small.
First pair I
tried on felt different left shoe vs. right...2nd pair felt fine. I have fairly flat feet, and the arch support felt perfect. No
arch
discomfort, like in shoes with more arch support after several hours of play. I play hard and long, and these are the
best shoes
(for my feet) since my Barricade 5's wore out. Like K Swiss Big Shots, only better.
Comments: These shoes run a half a size small so if your getting blisters and your feet hurt it's probably
that you
need a bigger size. Also I was surprised that a few people said the had no traction with these shoes. Look at TW's
review of this
shoe. They gave the traction of this shoe a 4.6 out of 5.
Comments: Wow - I'm surprised by all of the mediocre reviews here. These are the best hard court
shoes I've ever
played in. They are low profile (unlike Barricades that to me feel like I'm running in platforms), and at the same time
have much
better lateral support than other lightweight shoes such as Asics. And, the whites even look good!
Comments: Awesome shoe! Great comfort and feel too. No wonder Andy Roddick plays with them!
Comments: Awesome shoe. This is the best shoe I have ever worn. I only played with it for a month or
so, but I am
confident that this is the best shoe ever. I have a wide foot, so this shoe fit me perfectly, especially considering I
switched to these
after having the Nike Cage 2s.It has great foot support. I never felt like I was going to twist my ankle, which I have done
numerous
times in the Cages. I consider myself a defensive baseliner, but I can switch from defense to offense without a problem
in these
shoes, and the footbelt technology has something to do with that. My feet felt incredibly stable and I really feel
confident every
time I step out onto the court in these!
Comments: The best snug-fitting shoe ever, excellent ventilation, light, and comfort out of the box. The
only
comment I had with this shoe is durability. 4 months after I bought it, the outside part of the toe box started to tear
off. I played
only 2-3 times a week. Excellent style, matches very well with my Pure Drive GT lite.
Comments: Comments: Pros: I like the overall make up of this shoe, it has great ventilation and more
than
adequate support. Delivers all this in a nice fairly light package. Now for the cons: the right shoe was digging into my
foot (and so
was the left just not as bad) about right around the middle where the mold comes up. I can't wear them and am trying
to get
BABOLAT TO REPLACE THEM. I got wear on my toe and sole more than usual from any other shoe. They're are not
anywhere on par
with their price tag. Save your money and get a pair of adidas.
Comments: Very good looking shoe and felt unbelievable when I tried them on in the store, but I had to
take them
back (yep, somehow I pulled that off!). After one set, my legs and back felt as though they had been in a war! Maybe
these were
not as "out of the box broken in" as I was led to believe or it could be my 45 years, but my legs and back felt terrible
for the next
two days! I have worn Diadora, Wilson Pro Staff's, and an Adidas model (I cannot recall the exact model) over the last 20
years. I
have yet to have an experience like this with a new pair of tennis shoes. I am a solid 4.0 all court player and I really did
not over
exert myself in this one set. I can only attribute it to the shoes. As a matter of fact, a good friend of mine is a
chiropractor and
when I described my ailments, she immediately recommended I return the shoes. I have since picked up a pair of Prince
T-22's
and the issue seems to have resolved itself. No shot at Babolat or this particular model, but they just did not work for
me at all. I
am sure they are good shoes other than the comments on this blog.
Comments: I love the look of these shoes and the breathability, but other then that they are horrible. I
didn't get
hardly any traction, they split down the middle seam, and they wore down to my sock within a month, would not
recommend this
shoe to any serious tennis players.
Comments: I never got major blisters until I wore this shoe. If you plan on staying on the court for a long
session, I
would not recommend.
Comments: These shoes are really comfortable, and have a very good traction. I strongly recommend
them. They
just lasted for two months, however, I'll get another pair.
Comments: Overall I would not give this shoe a good rating. Before tried these I had the Barricade IVs
and Vs for 3
years. These shoes certainly had better breathability and were slightly lighter but those were the only pros. The
Barricades had far
better support and traction. The traction on these shoes was very poor. I'm a junior player and I weigh barely over 130
lbs. and I
was sliding in these shoes on hard courts (not good). The other downside, I acquired numerous blisters if I played in
these shoes
for any longer than an hour or so. If you're looking for a much better shoe with great traction and stability try the
Barricades; I'm
prob. going to try the 6.0's when I'm done with these Babolats.
Comments: Great, good, and worst shoe ever! Great looks and style. Light and break in right out of the
box. Good
ankle and stability for feet. I am 6'0 180lbs. 4.0-4.5 player active baseliner. My first pair I blew out in 5 weeks or less
than 40hrs
of play. My second pair I noticed on several court surfaces traction is questionable and not that good at all. I was
sliding all over
the place. The worst is sole for the person who slides his right foot on the serve and a runner. The toe will wear down
quickly. For
the expensive price of the shoes, having a shoe practically brand new in 5 weeks or less and 2 inch hole in the toe is
absolutely
ridiculous and disappointing. I will never by Babolat ever again after being unhappy a second time around.
Comments: The shoes are fantastic, at least the right one. The left shoe is much tighter than the right. I
played for
3 hours and and it felt like I had broken my big toe. I can see there is a production error on the left shoe. I'm a size 42,
these are
Europe size 44 and feels like a 42? Hmm... So the size is smaller than it is supposed to be... Fits Not true to size! Too
bad I live in
Norway and shipping costs almost as much as the shoes themselves..
However, my right foot feels great and the shoes are amazing all though be sure to order your pair one size larger.
Hope the
white pair that is on the way is flawless! Ps. They make you feel like a pro! Great stability and genius straps for
maximum fit! Hope
I did not scare anyone away...
Comments: This shoe is awesome! I played with right out of the box and it felt fine. I was skeptical about
the foot
belt but it really works. The traction is outstanding and so is the durability. The only thing I don't like is that the laces
sometimes
get stuck in the velcro.
Comments: Tried this shoe after many years of satisfied Nike use. The reason I'm switching is due to the
fact that
Nike has changed their shoes to the point of unwearability. Apparently they've never heard the expression "If it ain't
broke don't
fix it." I hit on these Babolats after trying on many a shoe, and right out of the box these feel great. Very snug, yet
comfortable,
and the support bands really do the trick to solidify the situation. But, and it's the death but, after 2 hours of hard play,
the balls
of my feet (and the surrounding ligaments/tendons) were toast. These shoes have ZERO support in the forefoot - and
seeing how I
pound my feet when I play, I must say these are not the shoes for me. On to the next shoe - I think I'll try the new
Prince Rebels....
Comments: I was really impressed with these shoes. They feel great with fantastic support. Traction is
the best I
have ever felt. Quick lateral movements and hard cuts seem effortless. They have a low to the ground feel so I feel very
fast in
them. I played in a three day tournament right out of the box and had no problems with them. I have slightly wider feet
than
medium and they fit me fine. Note: They seem to run a half size small. I had to go a half a size larger.
Comments: I got these shoes about a month ago and they are excellent, great breathability, support, and
for the
first month at least, traction. However, the traction on these is now very questionable, and that's just after a month
(and I've been
switching between some other shoes) The traction on my Nike Vapor 6's is better and they're almost completely worn
through.
Aside from the traction I really like these shoes and since I don't really mind all that much about traction, seeing as I'll
get used to
sliding a bit eventually. These shoes also look pretty good. They have an excellent color scheme. In the end I might buy
these
again, depends on if there's anything better out there.
Comments: Andy Roddick is my hero but these shoes are ugly. I got a pair of these for Christmas and I
was
ridiculed at school. Other than the appearance these shoes are still terrible. They hurt your feet, and they have no
traction.
Comments: Got these shoes a couple months ago, and I have to say, I am slightly disappointed. The
tread on the
bottom of the shoe seems almost non-existent since I am sliding all over the place on hard courts. I get no traction
whatsoever
compared to the adidas barricades
Comments: The 2010 models are not identical to last year's and they vary by
color; the Titanium is an ounce lighter than the white. The 2010's are
also wider in the toe box, which was a plus for me, and the length is
shorter than average so I bought a half size up. The fit was great as
were the construction, comfort, cosmetics and traction, and the low to
the ground design really helps on-court speed. BUT THEY CAN BE ANKLE
KILLERS. Prior comments (Moi, K. Jones) and a couple of last year's
TW reviewers all had ankle issues with the Propulse 2s. I think the
heel cup is disproportionately low compared to the footpad making the
back rub high on the ankle and, worse, the lower heel position
puts strain on the Achilles tendon. I bought 2 pairs, loved the feel,
and even tried a few heel inserts to make them work but the
Achilles pain comes back every time I wear them for a match, with or
without inserts, and especially on hard courts.
Comments: I love the way the shoes feel, very comfortable, and I do feel more agile. The only thing that
has been
happening to me is my ankle. Sprained my right one twice and left once within a month and a half time frame. I was
just trying to
see if anyone else might have the same issue. If so, are the shoes returnable for that reason?
Comments: Great shoe! The foot belts are awesome, it really locks your foot down. Also the 6 month
guarantee is
great. Great job, Babolat.
Comments: The Best performing tennis shoe I have ever worn. I play about 6 times a week though and I
went
through them in two months.
Comments: I just bought these shoes and I have to say that they are one of the best I have ever worn.
They fit
great. I went out and played the same day and it was as if the shoes just broke in instantly. They feel incredible and the
support
was amazing. I would recommend them to all. I play three to four times a week and I go through a lot of shoes. I think
I have
found the ONE! Keep up the good work, Babolat.
Comments: These are very comfortable and loved them only if they lasted. The front sides of the soles
started
peeling back and basically deteriorated. This happened after 6-7 months playing twice a week. I probably won't buy
again.
Comments: This shoe was terrible for me. They hurt my feet. I came from a Nike Air Max Breath Cage
and prefer it
very much. Started to wear after only four days. Also I have had ankle problems since I started wearing this shoe. Just
not the right
fit for me.
Comments: I really like what Babolat has done with this shoe! I wore out my old Propulse I, and I like how
the new
shoe fits wider. It helps since I have wear an orthotic insole with my shoe. I like the color, but I'm not crazy about the
bottom part
of the shoe being white - it gets dirty real fast. It matches my Babolat Aeropro Drive too! :)
Comments: Just got my Babolat Propulse 2 titanium shoe which I've
ordered on this website, I love everything about the shoe, the design
the color, the comfort & it's durability, I think this is way much better
than the barricade V & the Tirand III. to me, this is the best tennis
shoe ever made!
Comments: This shoe is incredible. I've switched off between Prince, K-Swiss, Nike and by far these
Babolat's are
the best. I had the previous color (blue, silver) and loved them so much that I ordered the BP2 Titanium. For some odd
reason,
they do feel slightly lighter though than the previous color. I play 2-3 times a week and went through the sole on my
originals in
5 months 2 weeks so really appreciating the 6 month guarantee. Great feel, comfort, style, traction. What more do you
want in a
shoe?
Comments: The best-looking tennis shoe currently out with performance to match. Compared to the
Courtballistec
2.3's, these are better quality, have better traction, but have worse cushioning and most likely worse durability (which
is not an
issue due to the 6 moth warranty on both). They also feel faster due to their fit.
Comments: Bought these when the 2.3 tongue came away at the front after only 3 hours of play. These
are a very
supportive shoe, very light and look great. Wider fit than the original Propulse. Quality is far superior to Nike.
Comments:
These shoes are great! I love the new color for this shoe. I
also love the support belts, the front belt holds your foot down, while
the back belt keeps your foot from sliding out. If you haven't tried
these shoes yet I think you should give it a try.
Comments: Awesome, I'm the first!! Anyways, these shoes are awesome!! I love the trends on these
shoes!!! I love
the design, way better than the blue one, the blue one makes it look childish. Just one thing I don't really understand is
that why
they put a support belt behind the heels/ankles. I don't think it helps that much. Furthermore, the shoes are great.
Moreover it
matches my racquet a bit, I use the Wilson K-Blade 98!!
