Babolat SFX Evo All Court Tennis Shoes
Enjoy superior comfort with the Babolat SFX Evo All Court Tennis Shoes in Dark Blue/White, designed with a wide forefoot for a smooth ‘first fit’ experience that lasts all match long.
Featuring an upper made from soft and breathable mesh, the Babolat SFX Evo All Court Tennis Shoes are designed to wrap your feet in plush comfort so that you can stay focused on playing your best tennis. Two midfoot straps bolster the supportive feel of the trainers during quick cuts and lunges as you react and return the ball, while the toe area is shielded with wear-resistant synthetic material to maximise durability. Underfoot, Ortholite cushioning provides both breathability and a smooth stepping experience to reduce fatigue, while Michelin Original rubber is used in the outsoles to provide premium grip and durability.
Babolat
Babolat first moved into footwear in 2003, when, spying an opportunity in the market, they partnered with grip experts Michelin to create a dedicated tennis shoe designed for the specific movements of the sport.
The French doubles pairing of Babolat and Michelin continues to this day, with all top-end Babolat shoes benefitting from the superior traction and durability provided by Michelin’s premium rubber.
We say doubles – there’s now a third player in the all-French team. Since 2016, starting with the speed-focused Jet, select Babolat shoes have featured Matryx materials in the upper, courtesy of the Ardoix-based creator of technical fabrics, Chamatex.
Matryx is a mixture of ultra-durable aramid and polyamid fibres that allows you to have flexibility in one area of the upper and rigidity in another. Essentially, it can be tailored specifically to the demands of tennis players, providing targeted support, flexion, breathability, and abrasion resistance where required.
American No.1 at the time, Andy Roddick was the first big-name player to sport Babolat shoes on-court, lacing up in the Propulse for the 2005 Tour. The supportive and durable Propulse remains popular with pros today, while the lightweight Jet caters for players who favour speed as much as stability. Or, if you’re after an all-round shoe that’s focused on comfort, check out the wider-fitting SFX3.
All Court
All court tennis shoes are designed to perform across a variety of court surfaces, making them versatile footwear options for tennis players. 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. Additionally, they often have reinforced toe caps for added durability, considering the high-wear nature of tennis. Cushioning and stability are prioritised to support swift lateral movements and quick pivots. All court tennis shoes are ideal for players who play on different surfaces or for those who prefer a multi-purpose tennis shoe.
