    Been waiting for this one. Great as always, thank you. I went from blueshield 5, to new balance 796, to mizuno wave enforce tour. Next I’ll be going back to Diadora with the Torneo 2. I loved the blueshield 5 and Torneo seems to just level everything up. They’re really the most comfy and durable for me. Cheers Zach!

    Hey man! The mizunos are really comfortable underfoot. I have a normal arch I think and I can play in them for 3-4 hours. The only note I have about the wave enforce tour is the thin tongue and ankle collar that dug into my ankle in the beginning. I have very tender ankles. After break in though there hasn’t been much issue with the ankle collar. The blueshield Torneo 2 have a thick tongue and soft ankle collar, so I’m going to them for the more comfortable uppers. To my memory I had similar comfortability with the midsole. Hope this helps!

    Zach, I get confused by many of your videos and your best shoes recommendation videos when you say that the tread of this shoe does not matter if you are on hard court and clay. In your 2023 Best Shoe video, you listed the Nike Pro 2 Clay version as one of the best for Multiple Surfaces. I am assuming you are saying the same for the Blueshield as well. So can you please elaborate because as you said, clay shoes use a softer compound. Here is the problem I am trying to solve. My local courts are 95% Har Tru courts and 5% hard courts. Most of the time you do not have a choice which court is assigned to you and I would prefer having a versatile shoe for both but also comfortable for my knee issues. For that scenario I am using the Adidas Solematch Control which has worked out fine but I thinking of switching to a more maximalist shoe. As side note, I also have the Nike NXT Court Zoom for when I play at other courts which are all hard and those work well for me. Overall I am using your guide for this but I just want to make the best decision. Thanks, Raul from Brooklyn

    Hey Doc, first off thanks for this amazing video! I am definitely subscribing in your channel. I wonder how does Diadora Blueshield Torneo 2 size is compared to Adidas Barricade 2022. I am a huge fan of Adidas Barricade 2022 specially in the fit part, but I'm a wide feet person (duck feet) 2E and Adidas Barricade fits pretty well in my regular size (9,5 US). Do you recommend to buy Diadora Blueshield Torneo 2 in the same size?

    Love the Diadora Torneo 2 and the B.Icon. Great shoes! I just happen to find all the same attributes in these two shoes in the MIZUNO WAVE ENFORCE TOUR with a better fit. The Enforce Tour has all the durability, cushioning, stability, and traction of the Torneo with a bit better mobility and fit - especially for the narrower foot. The way the Mizuno totally "vacuum seals" around your foot is totally unique. If you want a shoe like the Torneo that is better suited for regular width feet, you cannot go wrong with the Mizuno Wave Enforce Tour IMO.
