The "user comfort" star test

The shoes have been blind tested by a panel of tennis players of all levels. They evaluate the level of comfort, that is, how the shoe fits and how soft it is (from the very first time worn), on a scale of 0 to 20.

The "cushioning" star test

The shoes are tested in a lab on a machine that reproduces the impact of the heel when playing tennis using an 8 kg impactor. The greater the acceleration, the greater the impact suffered by the body.

The "resistance to wear" star test

The shoes are tested in the lab on a machine that has been specially developed to reproduce the type of heel, forefoot, toe, and instep wear seen in a tennis match. The more cycles are needed to reproduce the wear on the shoe, the higher the shoe's resistance rating.
