Stefanos Tsitsipas Wears Solecourt Boost Shoes

Solecourt Boost shoes are super comfortable shoes and provide good stability.  The shoes offer good traction on the court.  They are durable and will last you a long time.

The cushioning in the midsole and the memory foam-like material around the ankle collar gives you a comfortable fit. 

The shoe uppers are made of lightweight material and are breathable. So these shoes are ideal if you play in hot weather.

Tsitsipas’ “Shoe-Gate”

In 2019, Tsitsipas got in trouble with fellow players on the court for frequently breaking laces and having to change shoes in the middle of the game.  Benoit Paire and Nick Kyrgios have accused him of gamesmanship.

To help Tsitsipas, Adidad introduced “laceless” shoes.  Though they are called “laceless”, in fact, it does include laces.

The new shoes use BOA dial laces, which give athletes better control in adjusting the amount of space needed for the foot inside the shoe.

New Tsitsipas shoes’ BOA dial laces run underneath an outer layer and hence aren’t prone to being scraped off.  Athletes can twist the dial below and the lace tightens or loosens.
