Ok, so these shoes kick some tennis court ass! We’ve tested these tennis shoes from Lotto and we have all agreed that, for the price, you are getting some major quality tennis shoes! When we received the shoes the first thing we noticed is how clean they looked – and we’re not talking about washed clean, we talking sleek and angular – and how light they were. Looking a little closer we saw that just under the heel on the sole, there was a hollow space running across the entire “meat” of the sole – we weren’t sure what that was so we quickly wanted to test them. Unfortunately the weather here on the west coast was not cooperating with us tennis enthusiasts, so we had to wait out the rain for court testing.
Finally the rain passed just long enough for us to get on the tennis court and test out these rad looking tennis shoes. One thing that was noticed as we put them on, there was no need to break them in, it felt as though they had already been custom fit for the feet – and these lotto tennis shoes fit true to size. As the hitting started we felt that the shoes were light enough but solid enough to get us around the court quickly and effortlessly. We also noticed that the hollow space we saw actually served some purpose for the tennis shoe – it felt like it was giving you a little more spring in the step from take off to stop. The laces are a little longer than your normal tennis shoes, which is a good thing since it allows you to double-knot. The only two negative things that we were able to find was, there is only one color selection and the tongue is a quarter of an inch too short making it a little difficult to settle your foot in the first time.
All in all, we are very happy with this tennis shoe from Lotto – we highly recommend it to our readers and tennis enthusiasts all around.
