WHY CHOOSE A TENNIS SHOE FOR YOUR GAME?
There are several reasons for this!
Your movements on the field are different from those in other sports, such as running or fitness. You move back and forth, right and left, at varying speeds. A tennis shoe gives you the support you need to play safely, and limits the risk of injury.
Your cushioning needs are also specific, to absorb all the impacts of your foot.
SYSTEM FOREFOOT SUPPORT
When moving sideways, your foot becomes one with the shoe thanks to this exclusive reinforcement placed at the front of the foot on the outside of the shoe.
Exclusive support system developed by our tennis design team.
INNER SHOE VOLUME
Take advantage of the comfort of this shoe thanks to its foot volume adapted to your tennis game. This volume has been validated by our R&D teams through scans of thousands of feet and analysis of foot movements in the shoe during tennis.
ABRASION RESISTANCE
In your movements and stances, you may have to rub your shoe against the ground, accelerating wear on the sole. The surfaces you play on are also abrasive. Our shoes are laboratory-tested on an exclusive machine, developed to reproduce the wear observed in play on the heel, forefoot, top of the toes and inside of the foot.
THE DAMPENED ETOILE TEST
The shoes are tested in the laboratory on a standardized machine reproducing heel impacts during tennis stances, using an 8kg impactor. The greater the peak acceleration, the greater the impact on the body.
THE ETOILE WELCOME COMFORT TEST
The shoes are blind-tested on a representative panel of female tennis players. They rate the shoe's comfort, corresponding to the fit and softness of the shoe during the first fitting, on a scale of 0 to 20.
