Fila taking us back to the 90s with that packaging detail! I wish companies would still give us the tech breakdown of the shoe, either in an infocard or in the box details. Just takes me back to my younger years where I would gloss over sneaker magazines and be amazed at the new tech in the new sneakers coming out. A lot of it is just marketing in the end, but it's still a nice touch.

Zack, after wearing these shoes for 3 months I can say this review is spot on. I would add that I really liked the shoes and felt they perform pretty well for the first half of their life, the last month and half they became increasingly unbearable. My feet were killing me by the end.

I bought the adidas cybersonic and they do not feel good. My ankle swole up a bit and I can’t really slide and it too grippy. Would you compare the cola axilus to the adidas cybersonic similar or different? I’m on the edge on this and the vapor pro 2

Can you review the Axilus 3 to see if some issues were resolved. Thx

Hey Zach this is a great video. I have a question I play with Newbalance 996v4 in a 9 wide version and I'm a little over 2e foot. I'm looking to try Fila's what size should I buy?

I can’t really tell what size and shape you are without examining but this video will show you how to match the shape of your foot with any shoe you may be looking at online- all depends on where the width is and how to shoes shape matches your foot shape kzread.info/dash/bejne/paWims1spLnSZsY.html

Great video! I tried these shoes and my heel kept slipping in the shoe. I liked them but just my foot is a bit narrow.

Thanks! Yep 100% my thoughts too - did you go true to size?

these or speedserve energized? which is better for fast, tennis players who want comfort and stability as well

Hiya, Doc! I’m wondering if there’s a proper way to make a medium width shoe fit a ridiculously narrow foot. Like stupid narrow-side-to-side and top-to-sole. I currently wear Zoom Zeros with two stock Nike insoles and two pairs of socks. Thanks!!

@FootDoctorZach

3 жыл бұрын

So yeah typically 2 socks, you can layer moleskin in the mid and forefoot in the sides, you can put an orthotic in there to bulk it up as well as stop your feet from sliding- ultra narrow is tough for sure though

So I’m sure you’ve answered this before but I don’t want to search through every comment on all of your videos 😅 what have you found is the plushest shoe underfoot? I have the FF Lav and I like them but they aren’t as plush as I thought they would be (i know they are up there in the cushioning, but are there any shoes that are plusher than the Lav?) I also find that they are very geared toward stability, which is not something I really need correction with. They are quite stiff for my liking. I’ve had five pair of tennis shoes since I started playing and haven’t loved any of them. Are there any that are really cushioned but also less constricting in the upper? Sorry if the doesn’t make sense. I have medium-width feet and tend to supinate slightly so I really don’t want anything that is more geared toward overpronators.

My pick for plushist is the GP Turbo and i like that especially for more supinatus / cavus/ adduction but i actually made a video on this just the other day on the shorts channel so check it out it may give you some more insight : kzread.info/dash/bejne/mmiltM2jd8KnYso.html - let me know if that helps!

I concur on the Nike Air Zoom GP Turbo. They're the most comfy and cushioned tennis shoes I've ever tried. Probably the most cushioned shoes of any type I've ever tried. I'd like a similarly comfy non-tennis shoe to wear for everyday use.

You should do a review on the head revolt 3.0. I’ve heard they’re good shoes, but I’d like to see what you think about it

Looking for a shoe that will fit my custom orthotic. Nothing is wide enough or deep enough. Just tried the fresh foam lavs. Podiatrist keeps telling me to try Brooks, but I keep telling him those won't work for tennis. He says I need a shoe that doesn't taper in so much in the middle (when you're looking at the bottom of the shoe). Any suggestions? I wear a 2E width so finding something seems impossible.

@FootDoctorZach

So there are plenty that will fit orthotics - it comes down to the orthotic too- they can be made to fit all sorts of shoes - in NB the 996 should fit one fine, in Asics the court ff2, in Nike the GP turbo, VC4 should fit one well, in adidas the SCB or SMB will fit them- I actually have - few patients in the SCB with orthotics now as well as NB, pretty much any tennis shoe will except the gel resolution 8, vapor x knit , Asics solution speeds( and I even have a patient in those wearing orthotics and he’s doing fine ) - but moral of the story is that an overwhelming amount of tennis players have them in their shoes so you should be fine fitting one in - the orthotics I make for tennis usually have a non slip cover, deep intrinsic heel, and a width that splits the first metatarsal and I’ve never really had an issue fitting those in tennis shoes - just remember to take the insole that’s already in there out - hope that helps 👍

Hey doc, do you think these have enough protection on the inside of them to withstand lots of sliding. I’m having a lot of trouble trying to find shoes that won’t rip quickly after I slide with them. The only good ones I’ve worn are the Court FF2

Would you say that, despite the nice lateral flange and rubberized caging on the upper, its flimsy heel kinda breaks the deal in terms of stability, especially re. ankle sprains? (And yes, I learned about the impo of a solid heel counter for ankles from you!)

@FootDoctorZach

3 жыл бұрын

I think if you are prone to ankle sprains its a concern, the heel counter is very important for sure like you said but there is something to be said for that really wide heel base that will help to stop rolling- but for sure these would not be a top pick for me when it comes to ankle stability with those uppers and flimsy heel counter
