Comments: I completely agree with Marisa! These shoes are extremely uncomfortable and were hurting my ankles,
very awkward design. I wore them for a week, hoping they would break in, but nope. Thank you, Tennis Warehouse, for taking
them back!

Comments: Wow, what a disappointment. I really hate to write negative reviews, but as I eagerly consume and
benefit
from the reviews that others post I felt obligated to write this one. I have long been a fan of Babolat shoes with increasing joy as
they
moved away from the Velcro straps that provided such great support and customized fit. This pair, which I was so eager to try, is
already packed and ready to be returned ASAP as it was incredibly uncomfortable and oddly designed. The lace eyelets dont' seem
to
be place properly so that you have to use the one that is high up on the foot over the ankle, which is not good for flexibility or
those
who have a high instep. The materials feel stiff throughout and there was not only little cushioning to be found it felt almost flat
and
a bit hard in the middle of the foot. These also seem to be narrower in the forefoot than what Babolat typically is PLUS they run
long
in the same size I've worn for years. I'm not sure if Babolat did some cost cutting resulting in the decline of their shoe brand, but
this
is likely the last I'll try after owning around five pairs in the past including the ones I loved with the Velcro across the front and at
the
heel (ideal for people with standard forefoots but narrow ankles, as I have). Add to that, the color choice was not very neutral.
Definitely the opposite of what I look for in a shoe in almost every way.
