Comfortable, perfect for pickleball, great style
I’ve worn the Babolat Mach 3, Fury 3 and SfX3. I like the lacing better on the Mach 3. Both the Mach 3 and Fury 3 I really comfortable. Although they said the Fury 3 had a wide toebox. I did not feel that it was super wide compared to the SFX3. The SFX3 was too wide, and I found my foot slipping. The Fury 3 is supportive, good traction, and no issues with breathability. I play pickle ball about five days a week and most of my soles only last about two months regardless of the brand.
This shoe has a new, at least to me, lacing design and I find it to be quite poor. I have had my foot slip out of the shoe while playing Pickleball, which is not a good feel. Also, it seems to be cut on the larger size from other Babolat shoes I have had. Not recommended, and will not buy again.
The lacing system on this model is not as good as previous. Laces are hard to snug up and they loosen during play.
This is easily the best looking Babolat shoe but I echo the criticisms of the lace system not being what I'd prefer. You can definitely get enough lockdown if you just cinch up from the bottom but that leaves quite a bit of lace at the top and then I double knotted. Once you do that they have good lockdown on midfoot and ankle. Maybe other reviews will touch on added ankle braces, I don't use them. They look great and are very sticky! I wish they just had a separated tongue.
