Besides being more comfortable, the shoes have all the qualities which are required for optimal moves and stances. It perfectly meets the needs of long training sessions and repeated matches. Nothing will stop you. You can only take advantage if you are responsive and precise in your stances and moves. Babolat has teamed up with Michelin to develop a special sole with remarkable performance: a three-dimensional grip combined with a unique rubber formula that guarantees explosive movements and controlled sudden stops without compromising on durability. The heel, which endures heavy strain, is protected by a bi-density sole that absorbs shocks and simultaneously helps you rebound. The shoe’s structure has been designed to support the foot for any type of stance; the upper material moulds the foot’s shape while preventing the foot from moving inside the shoe.
