As a foot doctor I look at shoes for tennis a bit differently as I focus more on what foot types benefit from these shoes as well as the shoe’s functional attributes
The adidas Stycon BOA is a first for tennis shoe tech, offering a much different feel though the forefoot, midfoot, and rearfoot. The adidas Stycon BOA is a laceless shoe with no tongue and a 3 layer fit which are all firsts for this sector of shoes. I was skeptical of this tennis shoe design but was pleasantly surprised when play testing them on the tennis court during a tennis match- The Original adidas Stycon with no BOA closure does feel markedly different in the tightness, fit, and playablity.
Tennis shoe playtests are a great way to experience the tennis shoe in a real life scenario and give much more useful information as to the playability and feel.
Some of the main areas we cover in this adidas Stycon BOA tennis shoe playtest were:
– The weight of the adidas Stycon tennis shoe
– Durability of the adidas Stycon tennis shoe
– Breathability of the adidas Stycon
– What foot types are good for this tennis shoe

– How does the shape of the adidas stycon tennis shoe affect its performance on the tennis court
– Are there competitors to the adidas Stycon
– What are the features of the insole, midsole, and outsole of the adidas Stycon and how do they compliment the tennis player
