Yay! Well i bought it a week ago. And my god. Such an upgrade, firm grip, amazing stability and the most plush feeling uppers. Love the speed it gives!
I´ve had mine for a month now - and I absolutely love them. I´ve had my eye on the Asics Solution FF Speed for a while ( as an upgrade to my Asics Padel Pro 4 - which has been excellent ), but ultimately went for the Lacoste, and I haven´t had a single moment of regret! They are so comfortable, very fast and great support - they felt a tiny bit stiff out of the box, but after 4-6 hours of play, they were totally broken in... feels so soft and snug on my foot , and furthermore really stylish - I´m probably gonna buy another pair of these, when mine are worn out.... currently no other shoe on the market I´d even consider over these!
@@luisumpangco8292 im not a big clay player but the pattern should offer some decent contact. But imo you better get a clay specific shoe. But if you rly need both in one i would look for Yonex shoe. I played in both eclipsion 3 & 4 and there are half of clayish outsole. But on hard it burns faster. Speaking of eclipsion - this Lacoste proofed to have more durable outsole then my beloved Yonex)
Have to try these on. I will say Initial fit test was actually super comfortable on the “Lite” version of the. LT23’s. I own the LT-21’s so excited to hear your thoughts on the improvements!!
23 is much better in all parts. Got both of them relatively at the same time and was able to test side by side. It is not even a question which one is better. 21 is good tho but 23 is simply superior)
Hi Zach, love you channel, thanks for your reviews! Could you do a review of the artengo ts 960? (monfils shoes) They seem to be quite good for the price...but i need your review to buy them haha cheers from thailand!
i thought Mizuno was bit sluggish due to extra weight, i am going to try this one as well since you are saying it is great for serve and volley and it is very fast feeling.
Would this be a good shoe with plantar fasciitis? Need high stability but hesitant to go very foam due to roll potential.. this seems stable yet high tech / low to the ground cushion.. just not sure if too performance if have suffered from plantar
So I currently struggle with arch pain with both feet although when the pain does come in its only in one foot. I have 2E feet with my left being a more neutral arch and the right being more a low arch. I currently swap between the move game days/pros depending on if its for practice or match but typically stick to the regular gamedays. These are the shoes I have tried along with how long it took to become painful. Asics Gel Res 9 - 10 min Nike Vapor 11 - 15 min Mizuno Wave Enforce Tour - 15-20 min Nike Vapor Pro 2 - 15-20 min Nike Vapor 9.5 - 20-25 min Adidas Ubersonics 4.1 - 30 min Any other suggestions on what shoe to try and would this be worth to try as well. I would also appreciate it if you could also recommend a running shoe as well. Also curiosity if we do a consultation, is there any information that we need to bring that would be of more help like scans or something along those lines?
I absolutely love these shoes for the feel on the foot, the speed, and the look. However, I get significant calf pain when wearing these and had a calf tear while wearing. Wondering if a shoe with a greater heal to toe drop would be better during rehab. What are your thoughts Dr. Zach?
I noticed calf pain when I switched to them as well. The heel to toe drop is most likely the culprit. I’m thinking I just need to get stronger legs. Because the performance is so good I don’t want to move on from them. But time will tell…
Zach, noticed in your 2023 Shoe Guide that you did not include the AG LT 23 Ultra as a shoe you would recommend for Heavier Players (or which I am one) BUT you did recommend the Lotto Mirage 100 (another speed shoe that has - I would argue - much less cushioning than than the Lacoste having word both). You also included the Asics Court FF 3 on that list and I found that shoe to be very firm (especially in the heel). I have found the AG LT 23 Ultra - while not "plush" - to be very well cushioned IMO. Can I ask your rationale for not including the AG LT 23 Ultra while including some of these other shoes?
Coming from the Asics gel Challenger 12; these are a bit too flexible for me. I miss the rigid sole of the Asics. The LT's are comfortable, great grip and decent breathability. I feel they are thin on the balls of the feet and allows for too much twist. Have developed some some arch/heel pain since wearing these. Soles are showing signs of wear after only 4 sessions. Not all bad, just not worth $160 IMO
To me Asics Court FF3 fits well and is a stable shoe, but I need a slightly faster shoe that still supports well. How does this sizing compare to the Asics?
I am trying a size 9.5 and 10 right now. I feel like my TTS 9.5 fits best, however, the toe box feels low almost to the point of making it feel uncomfortable there. I don’t have this issue with the 10, but it does feel a little bit too long but not major. Will the toe box loosen up a bit after break in or should I go up half size to the 10?
Knee pain!! Went from ASICS Res 9 to this and within one month have knee pain (mcl - maybe a grade 1 sprain/strain?). I do other sports as well (boxing, soccer, running), but only equipment change was to this shoe. I am an all court player and will scramble to get the ball. Wonder if because the outsole is so grippy (and doesn’t give/slip) could that be how I strained my knee??
Hi I'm playing on a dusty court and im a guards l need the best traction, low to the ground, sports for moves shoes that you recommend. price don't meters just a good grip on dust please 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Hello Zach, I just learned today from the Lacoste store that the strange name AG-LT means Agilité in French, or Agility! Everyone in every UA-cam video calls them A, G, L, T.
Hey, comparing this against gel res 9, FF3, 2023 barricade, and cybersonic. In terms of stability, which one do you think you would recommend to prevent ankle sprain?
Gel resolution is so bulky, I feel that alone makes it more likely for an ankle sprain. These are solid shoes, I like them a lot. They did wear down faster than any Asics I've gotten so Asics has them beat for durability and longevity.
Hi, really want to try these on! However, I am a big fan of hard court slider, do anyone think this suits me? ( durability doesn’t matter to me at all)
I bought a pair, they fit like a glove but unfortunately my toes were too lose at the front of the shoe, so when I do hard turns my toes are sliding all over the place which is clearly not what you want. It’s unfortunate I had to return them bc I loved everything about them otherwise. Had the cool green ones medvedev style.
@@FootDoctorZachhey thanks I recently found your channel you present the info in such a entertaining way. Look forward to the video. Guessing it’s an insole I can buy to throw in the shoe? Curious to hear the solution
hey Zach, normally i wear US 9 on nike vapor pro (first model), what size i should get for normal fit (not too snag not too loose) if i would try this Lacoste? just for reference i mostly play on clay.
Got my shipment in today, just deciding between sticking it out with the 10 or a 10.5. I wear 10 in the 996v4 with no issues out of the box (I have a chonky foot just short of a 10 length wise), the 10 in this is just a bit tight out of the box but not uncomfortable or painful. Assuming they will break in fine after a bit or should I deal with the tiny bit of heel slippage in the 10.5?
@@carsoncutrone1048 I kept my typical size, the size 10. Still currently wearing out my last pair of 996’s til they fall apart, so can’t comment on it further really, but I’m very confident I’m going to love the shoe.
Thx for the very good video ! Is there a difference between the « Daniil Medvedev » version and the classical version ? I ve tested 4 different color of version classical ag-lt ultra 23 and it sized very bad for me, too small 10.05 or too big 11. When i ve tested the medvedev version it sized perfectly so more confortable for me. Do you have some news about that ? Thank you
I received a second daniil version in another color and it s perfect too. I confirm that in France at least the manufacturing of classical version sized very bad for each color….
Comfort deserves a 5 IMO. They need to go back to Goodyear tread to help with durability, that's the one reason I will probably not purchase a second pair.
I’ve been playing these all summer. I think they have led to Achilles/calf pain. This has only happened in the last month or so as they’ve began to wear. I wonder is this the shoes issue or just my legs!? 😅
Grab a pair at Tennis Point: geni.us/FDZTP

This one of the best tennis shoes i ever had! And outsole is much more durable than the expected (96 kg player). Highly recommend)🎉
Nice to hear some experience on the wear- that was the biggest question mark for me long term

I like how you hit and move so much that I have to rewind 5 times to hear what you said :)
Very good video 🤩. Can you next talk about the way of wade 808 3 and ultra 3 ?
Great review 💪🏿🧠
Hopefully you can get the new Li-Ning Bad Five Ultra those are 🔥💯
Perfect for outdoors...

I am going to be playing tennis everyday so my main worry is the durability. If I am worried about durability would you recommend gel rez 9 or this?

Hello, my foot is 26 cm, in Ascis when I go up to 27 cm a size 9 US fits me great, I have never used Lacoste, what would be the fit recommendation?
