Plush and comfortable! These shoes fit wider and will offer players the ultimate court experience
It's back! Just as comfortable, wide and plush as ever before, the SFX 3 has been updated for 2018! Similar to iterations of the past, this version features a mesh upper which not only provides breathability, but allows more movement and flexibility in the toe box. Support systems have been added to ensure confidence when moving laterally. Always plush underfoot, Babolat has injected this shoe with loads of cushioning and it comes with a multi-layer insole that specifically provides a soft feel under your heel and forefoot. The Michelin rubber outsole provides great traction and durability on all court surfaces. It is worth noting, the updated fit is a bit more narrow than the previous version. If plush comfort is what you crave in your footwear, look no further!
- Upper: A mesh upper with TPU for added durability offers a breathable and flexible experience.
- Midsole: Kompressor System heel cushioning technology for increased comfort and shock absorption during aggressive court movement. EVA/PU insole memory foam for plush feel underfoot.
- Outsole: Michelin Performance outsole for impressive traction and durability.
- Color: Deep Dive / Blue

Comments: These shoes are comfortable everywhere except under the front foot. I don't feel any cushioning under there, not sure what the reviewer is talking about. I think Babolat can do better than this!

Comments: I highly recommend these shoes if you have wide feet as they have a nice wide toe box. I was not finding anything else that fit until these. They are comfortable, have much nicer insoles than any other tennis shoes I've had or tried, and do their job well on the pickleball court, making it so I don't really even notice them. I have not had them very long so I can't say yet how well they'll hold up to the court surface. However, I was impressed enough with the fit, and they need no break in, that I already got another pair for in case they change them, as so many times seem to happen. I wear a size 7 and they seem to run true to size for me.

Comments: I tried about ten pairs of shoes from TW and settled on this SFX3 shoe because of the wider toe box, and it doesn't hurt my big toe bunion. They are very comfortable right out of the box. I am a dependable size 8, and this shoe is slightly big, but I just wear thick socks or two pair. I wore the Prince T22 for years, and these are lighter weight and I feel faster on the court. I've had them about a month and worn them several times on hard courts with no issues or rubbing.

Comments: These are better than the SFX2 in that they have the wider toe box, but they are not as good as the original because they are too big. You really need to tie the laces tight in order to keep from slipping around. I probably should have tried a size down, but I don't think I should have to do that when I really am a true 7.5. Other than that, they are comfortable right out of the box and are light.

Comments: Comfy shoes like the first version, but there is no side support. Thank you Babolat for bringing back the wider version of this shoe, but my feet slide from side to side. The top part of the show is all mesh, which is comfortable and breathes well, but offers no stability. Please bring back the first version: wide shoe you could rock front to back & thick canvas/rubber on top for side to side movement support.

Comments: If you have orthotics these shoes won't work. With my orthotics I need to remove the inside sole from the shoe and the Babolat piece has much padding and cushion. If I had better ankles this might be a good shoe but not for me.
