RUBLAST rubber
When you move around the court you sometimes drag your shoes along the ground, which makes the sole wear out faster. The surfaces you play on are also abrasive.
The outsole is made from ultra-robust RUBLAST rubber.
Reinforced upper
For safer sliding and direction changes and improved robustness, the uppers were reinforced with a highly robust polyurethane material, especially around the toes and instep.
Pebax® material
The shoes feature a resin plate (Pebax®) under the foot for increased propulsion.
The Pebax Powered® programme showcases the high performance of the Pebax® material for athletes. Pebax® and Pebax Powered® are registered trademarks of Arkema.

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.
Mechanical studies carried out on players during play have shown that a "high impact resistant" foam, positioned at the heel, can reduce the force of impact by 13% compared with the 2019 version of the TS 990.
Insole
Thermoformed insole perfectly fits the heel and arch. It provides comfortable, robust and lightweight (PU polyurethane) cushioning.
Laces
Easily tighten your shoes using the flat laces for better support.
Our resistance to wear test
The shoes are tested in the lab on a machine that has been specially developed to reproduce the type of heel, forefoot, toe, and instep wear seen in a tennis match.
These shoes are the model in the Artengo Women's range that withstood the most cycles. They are the most robust.
Our cushioning test
The shoes are tested in a lab on a machine that reproduces the impact of the heel when playing tennis using an 8 kg impactor. The greater the acceleration, the greater the impact suffered by the body.
These shoes are the model in the Artengo Women's range that withstood the most cycles.
Our user comfort test
These shoes are tested blind by a representative panel of female tennis players. They evaluate the level of comfort in terms of how the shoe fits and how soft it is (from the very first time worn).
