Weight
405 g in size 8½.
The Artengo STRONG Pro shoes are among the heavy shoes in the "advanced shoe" category. 35 g heavier than the FAST Pro, they provide greater stability and support for players looking for safety.
RUBLAST rubber
The outsole is made from ultra-robust RUBLAST rubber. By studying how tennis players move on the court, we were able to create an optimal sole shape to obtain extreme robustness.
Forefoot Support and KPU upper
The KPU upper confers optimal support on the court (Forefoot Support technology). The upper is reinforced around the toes and instep for greater robustness while sliding and moving around the court.
Heel support piece
A rigid plastic insert at the heel guarantees optimal foot support while playing.
Arkstab
A plastic shank stiffens the sole for maximum front-to-back stability while pushing off.
Lateral CS technology
After several years of R&D by Artengo and the Decathlon SportsLab, the patented Lateral Cushioning System (Lateral CS) guarantees lower impacts from the ground for tennis players.
Mechanical studies carried out on tennis players' movements revealed that "high impact robustness" foam, when placed strategically in the sole, could reduce the force of impact by 13% (compared to the Artengo TS990 20).
Insole
Thermoformed EVA insole for robustness, lightness and comfort.
Laces
Flat laces that are easier to tighten and provide better support while playing tennis.
Clay court sole
Sole with specific clay court herringbone pattern for a better grip on this surface.
