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 research and development, Artengo and Decathlon SportsLab created the patented Lateral Cushioning System (Lateral CS) technology to reduce the force of impact for tennis players.
Mechanical studies carried out on tennis during play revealed that "high impact resistance" foam, when placed strategically in the sole, can reduce the force of impact by 13% (compared to the Artengo 2 TS990).
Insole
Thermoformed EVA insole that is robust, lightweight and comfortable.
Laces
Flat laces that are easier to tighten and provide better support while playing tennis.
