I've been hanging with my comfort shoes for a long, long time (Head Games Low, Wilson Prostaff Leather, and Prince QT Scream Low), but these Babolat ProPulse 2s are like a driving a Ferrari!!! By the way, I have the blue and grey 2009 model.
These shoes are the most exotic tennis shoe on the market. The look real tennis specific with the footbelts. They look real wild and exotic to most people.
These shoes are like low to ground ballet/climbing shoes that have a mixture of softness and hardness. I mean the lacing system is like an assymetric corset. I have this real locked down feeling when you get the laces and footbelt tight. And man...when you plant you foot...there is no flex or give...you give move...fast. It has that real low to the ground feel, but they are also so comfortable. I could never get to like the Barricade Vs at all. PP2s are way more comfortable than the Vs. No comparison. I like these to fit snug. I was between a 9.5 and 10 and went with the 9.5 to deal with the torque from my starting and stopping. The toe box is not very roomy, but that is the way you want it...snug. But it could stand to be a bit roomier. Babolat PP2....9.8/10. Let me introduce....Babolat ProPulse 2 2010!!!!
My 2010 shoe was black/titanium. And...there is a bit more room in the toe box which makes my fit in the 2010 shoe....perfecto!!!! I haven't had them babies on the court yet, but I expect more of the same....but with even more comfort. My rating 10/10!!!! These shoes are bad ***!!!!!!!
I tried the Barricade VIs on in the store, and that fit was way better than the Vs. More "normal". I guess the last 2 shoes that I am going to check out are the Barricade VI and Head Speed Pro.
