"HUGE step up from the model you have here."

"Asics court ff2 non-novak. Best shoes I've ever had. It's a tongue-less design and I bought it a half size large because the liner is snug."
"ASICS Solution Speed FF2. My pair of the first Solution Speed wore out and replaced with these, love the combination of light weight and support."
"Right now using novaks ff2. Best shoes I’ve ever bought."
"I have wide feet and wear the Asia gel resolution I love them"
