The amount of ventilation from this design while maintaining durability is incredible! Hopefully this setup becomes standard for hard court tennis shoes.
I'm learning a lot about how shoes work and the effects of athletic movements on the feet, ankles, knees, etc. by watching these videos in addition to the basketball and running shoes on the main FDZ channel. Tennis isn't a sport I'm very familiar with, but I'm still getting a lot out of watching these. And I might want to play some pickleball in the future so getting the inside scoop on what makes a good shoes for both sports definitely feels like an advantage.
Was “like I said” a drinking game I missed out on?!? Seriously tho - I ended up w 4 pairs of a shoe you suggested last year and loved - they saved my tootsies. These aren’t released yet, but will hopefully be able to try them out! I’m a pb player - and teaching pro - who’s told many about your channel. Appreciate you!
@@footdoctorzachdubbs Thanks! I’m at 192-195, therefore the Head Motion Pro might not be the best shoe. My go to pickleball shoes are Mizuno Wave Enforcer (but can’t find stock currently) and Nike Zoom Vapor 11. Tried Asics Gel Res and Court FF, but toe box too narrow :( Thanks again.
I have an issue with my left foot where i need sole to feel firm. Any cushioning under foot irritates it. So Skechers didn't work. Been using yonex eclipsion 4 for a while but want to try something different. Yonex have been great for my knee so afraid to change but...
What does toebox taper degree mean? The lower degree = more room in the toe box? For example after watching your sole match control 2 video with 21 deg toebox taper vs. Head Motion pro with 9 deg toebox taper, does this mean that Head Motion pro has a roomier toebox?
Hey, Doc My feet sweat a lot to the point that I have to bring a second pair of shoes. It's like a swimming pool in my shoes and I leave slippery sweat from my shoes on the pickleball court. I've already slipped. Is there anything I can do about this?
These sound great. I loved my Ubersonics and the bootie fit but the uppers ripped so quickly. If you need a pickleball tester in size 11 I'd be happy to take a pair off your hands. 😂

Glad to have you over here- yeah racquet sports will get you addicted once you start playing that’s for sure

Ordered mine from head yesterday, coming through FedEx so hopefully be on the court with them by next week.
I’m sold! Great review!
Thanks for the review…what qualifies as “heavy” in the “Not For” section?
For me the dividing line is about 185 lbs

Seen this review and just ordered a pair for pickleball, im light so hopefully they work and fit well, this will be the 4th different shoe trying on

I really like the bottom vent but would like to use my orthotics. How will this limit the bottom vent for cooling?
Depends how much gap is under the arch
4.5 rush wilson review next please?
killer review thanks
Looks like a great soft court shoes for my old school game. Thhnk you.
With the 'pickleball' label on these shoes, you think Head will make a tennis version (or even clay version)?
Good question
What does toebox taper degree mean? The lower degree = more room in the toe box?
For example after watching your sole match control 2 video with 21 deg toebox taper vs. Head Motion pro with 9 deg toebox taper, does this mean that Head Motion pro has a roomier toebox?
Yep higher the number the pointier the toebox
These sound like a ton of fun but I wouldn't trust my sloppy footwork with that sliding ability 😅
is it better than mizuno tour 5 ?
Can't find these on Tennis Warehouse :(
I’m not sure but they may have not released yet in some areas
Will this accommodate orthotics? Does the inner footbed remove?
Answered in the video
My question is which one of these shoes is the most durable and the sole doesn’t wear out. I burn through the soles like crazy!
Right now Yonex/ Asics is the strongest
So glad to see some pickleball-focused content! I just started using the Yonex Eclipsion 5s. How do you think these compare?
Thanks! 😁
I have a whole video on them you can check out :

Hey, Doc
My feet sweat a lot to the point that I have to bring a second pair of shoes. It's like a swimming pool in my shoes and I leave slippery sweat from my shoes on the pickleball court. I've already slipped. Is there anything I can do about this?
See a doc and get evaluated if rx medication is right for you
@@footdoctorzachdubbs oh, I wasn't thinking of medication. I thought maybe there was a shoe or type of sock that could help.
None of the links you provided brought me anywhere with the shoes you covered in the video
It may not be released yet
@@footdoctorzachdubbs Thank you for replying. I will keep checking because your review really highlighted some great qualities in the shoe
Heads instagram account has a sneak peak pic of these shoes with the date on the pic July 18th, so prob dropping then just so you know.
@@MG_316 Thank you for your information. I will try and locate that on Instagram but thanks for sharing the release date
When does this shoe become available? I can't find it online
No idea I thought it was already when I got them
Head website just says coming soon. Anyone have any idea of where to purchase them? I’m sold also & ready to buy for tennis not Pickleball.
These sound great. I loved my Ubersonics and the bootie fit but the uppers ripped so quickly. If you need a pickleball tester in size 11 I'd be happy to take a pair off your hands. 😂
I see they make this shoe in a paddle version, could you comment on what the differences would be. Thx
No idea- haven't tried them
Does that mean on a hot day, the heat ffeom the gound can also go in too😂
I spose if you’re just standing around and not moving
i tried a head shoe and it was really baddddd.
