Comments: In my opinion, these shoes were not good. They wore out extremely quickly, mostly at the front. They also felt very bulky, and the laces themselves were a nuisance, as they were to long. The only plus to these shoes is that they are somewhat comfortable, but this is certainly not enough for me. I'm looking for a new pair of shoes right now, and I've actually gone back to my shoes from 3 or 4 years ago (old Air Vapors, maybe I or II), and I find them much better. I don't recommend these shoes, but maybe the Alfa II has addressed these problems, but I'm not willing to take the chance.

Comments: One of the most comfortable shoes I have played with. Usually my shoes last me about 2 months, but these have a very durable and thick sole. Weight is light and translates into smooth movement on the court. The only downside I consider of this shoe is the look, not very flashy, intriguing. That might just be me though, I like the bright colors. Overall 4.5/5 for this shoe, made out of solid products and seems to be a durable one!

Comments: The positive features: Magnificent traction, and excellent comfort. Width is average. The negatives: Very little support, and the shoe wears quickly (durability is not good). If you are a toe dragger, this shoe will wear out quickly. For my foot, this would be a better shoe if it were a little wider (my feet are wide but not enough for 2E shoes) and had much more support. Obviously the durability issue would be nice to remedy as well.

Comments: Wore them today for the first time. They are much lighter than they appear. The outsole seems extremely thick and will hopefully last a long time. I saw no premature wear on the sole or toe. Very comfortable. Not for people looking for a very supportive shoe.

Comments: No, I don't like this shoe. Bad toe guard and now my toes are constantly in pain. It is clunky and just feels bulky. I'm returning them.
From: Harris Mac, Daly City, CA. 06/09

Comments: This is a VERY comfortable shoe, even for wider feet, right out of the box. The upper instep area wore easily on mine as the shoes brushed across each other during play, and I'm a toe dragger so I wore through the toe uppers on these within 2 months. They do have a 6-month sole guarantee, but I wore through them in 3 months (I do this to all shoes, so doesn't mean the soles are weak). Still the most comfortable shoe I've worn. Just wish they allowed for more wear on the uppers instep & toes.

Comments: What a great shoe. I have had my shoe 8 months and they have little wear on the outsole, and still have a lot of life in them. I wear them on an average of 5-6 hours a week for match play .... and wear them at work sometimes. They have been the most durable shoe I have ever owned. Maybe I don't drag my feet on the court like some people. There is a little too much room in the toe box, but hasn't bothered my performance. I like the comfort they give, solid support, and if you need arch support , I suggest you get insoles that are molded for your feet. Asking one to come off the rack that way is just unreasonable. It is the best shoe FILA has put out to date.
From: Dan, Waco, TX, USA. 4/09

Comments: A very comfortable shoe with a light leather upper that provide support and flexibility. The shoe feels a lot lighter than its listed weight. All in all a nice shoe for a nice price. It's not always easy to find the right shoe but when you do, they give you the left one for free.
From: Dan, Riverside, CA. 3/09

Comments: Good shoe. Especially for the price. Surprisingly durable, usually I wear down 6-month guaranteed shoes in 3-4 months. This one lasted me almost 6. Very comfortable out of the box, provides good cushioning on the court and provides good support. In my opinion not exceptionally stable on side-to-side movement. Front of the shoe is not protected so if you drag your foot, there could be damage to front area. One strange thing - after a game in these shoes my feet hurt in front area. Not sure if this is a shoe problem or I'm just getting older but I think I'll try different shoe next time.

Comments: Great shoe! the material on the top is amazing. These shoes are probably the most comfortable shoes. They can meet the demands of even the most aggressive player speed. See James Blake with these Fila.

Comments: (Compared to the barricade V , vapor) Enjoy maximum comfort with ALFA, upper is amazing!! Very very comfortable. I play about 3 hours on hard courts but with the Fila Alfa, I play all day. I have found the shoes I'll be using the rest of my tennis playing life.
From: NICK, L.A, CALIFORNIA, U.S.A. 2/09

Comments: Terrible shoes. I had holes in them after a few times on court. I agree they are comfortable, but thought they wore out very fast. I will not buy Fila shoes again.
From: Jared, Boston. 2/09

Comments: I had the opposite experience: the Flow Prossimo felt awkward and clunky, while the Alfa feels like a good all-around shoe.
From: Anon. 12/08

Comments: I didn't like it much compare to Nike Breathe Free II or Adidas Barricade III (even Lotto Revenge is better). If you are asking close to $90, better put something more because outsole starts showing wear even with normal walk. Upper was very comfy and fit was true to size.
From: Ken, San Jose, CA, USA. 8/08

Comments: Great shoe! Very stylish and comfort out of the box. Finally some Fila shoes to go with the great cloth.
From: Ruben, Monterrey, Mexico. 8/08

Comments: Not happy with them. They're cool looking but that's about it. I played only three sets and that was enough to know that they're not for me. There's too much room for the front of your foot to move around and there is little arch support.
From: Justin, Phoenix, AZ, USA. 8/08

Comments: These shoes rock! They're so nice and cushioned, you feel as if you're floating about the court. The six-month warranty is especially nice, as well, for players like me who play a lot.
