Ultimate support, durability, with added comfort compared to previous versions.
Taking the support, and stability that the Propulse is known for, this update to the Babolat Propulse Fury 3 AC improves upon the cushioning, and adds even more durability. With an increase of EVA foam in the midsole, in addition to the Ortholite comfort foam insoles, our playtesters found a more comfortable and plush ride underneath the foot. A reinforcement plate has been added to the shank, while the 360 degree fit helps to secure the foot in place. The medial side of the upper has added protection and the Lace-in system keeps the laces from being exposed to dragging. The outsole features Michelin's premium rubber formula, to maximize durability and traction on all court surfaces, specifically hard courts. Backed by a six month outsole durability guarantee.
- Upper: Power Belt technology locks in the heel and midfoot with an external shell for exceptional stability. Synthetic materials and mesh combine for lightweight comfort, and support.
- Midsole: EVA midsole has been increased from previous versions, for good cushioning, support and responsiveness under foot. Reinforcement plate improves stability for powerful movements. KPRS-X gives a plush ride, with increased shock absorption.
- Outsole: Michelin's premium rubber formula, with dense zones in high wear regions, and less density in strategic areas to cut down on weight. Durability and traction on a variety of surfaces, specifically hard courts. Backed by a six month outsole durability guarantee.
- Color: Port Royale

Ran long…width Med+My normal size was too long but 1/2 size down too short. I thought the width was a Med+. Didn’t care much for lacing system either. Seemed like they would be comfortable though if they fit your foot.
So far, so goodI play on hard and har tru and about 3-4 times a week. So far, they feel great!

Glad I got these!These work very well for me! A good fit for my squarish feet, low to the ground, and they disappear when I'm hustling. I've tried on the other Babs and didn't like them right out of the box. Given the reviews of this one I was pleasantly surprised by how they've worked out. Might not be for you, but definitely for me. No issues with laces breaking.
Dont buy this shoeI usually get Prince T22's but they were out of stock in my size. So I tried the Babolat, bad decision! They didn't last long for the sole and the worst part of the shoe was that the tongue was built into the side of the shoe, so you really couldnt tighten it as you needed to.
REALLY DISAPPOINTEDCheap laces in these shoes lasted 3 days. Went right thru 2 pairs of paracord 550 laces after that and waiting on Kevlar laces to see if they will quit falling apart. Have had six pairs of exact shoes (3 because of shoe warranty) and laces have recently gone to crap. Possible it is the plastic row that laces are being thread thru?. $35 on laces within a month is ridiculous. Emailed Babolat they say tying shoes too tight. Not it, he slides them on and off. They blew it off. REALLY DISAPPOINTED
Great shoe.My son is a 14 year old tournament player. He loves them. Comfortable, supportive, durable, and cool looking.
Very Nice and Comfortable ShoeI had plantar fasciitis and am recovering fast. This is a very comfortable shoe for that for its cushioning and heel support. I have tried almost all the primary shoes pf every brand. This is the best.
Strange constructionMostly a nice shoe but really strange arrangement for the lacing - I wanted to like this shoe but besides being slightly narrow for my foot, I had to send it back - the lacing construction is something designed by ??? and would quickly drive me completely nuts.
Likely great performance, not my fitLet me say first: I'm not a common fit. Like some, I seem to need width in the toe box on the outside of my big toe. I'm also now wearing orthotics which take up some of the height-space in shoes. So, in spite of my craving for top performance models, the way many of them are tapered down at the toebox excludes me from wearing them. I've gradually learned not to blame the shoes - as I sense some do - if they don't fit my foot. Babolat's SFX EVO was such a good fit for me, I thought I'd try Propulse Fury 3 based on review and comments about generous width in forefoot. Hopes were to go up a notch in performance over SFX EVO. Wore them around the house a couple of sessions. They are roomier in forefoot than many top models, but, they weren't my fit, as my big toe was rubbing against the side of the toe box. Pro's: The footbed is very supportive, there's a lot of tread. The upper does have that nice flexible plastic overlay on top of the fabric, supportive but not stiff. The sockliner has some firmness for support, more than a cushiony after-thought. Felt like this would be a stout, supportive shoe similar to Barricades of old. Cons: stout footbed + orthotic made for a stiff step, but that may break in. Like others have mentioned, the lacing system did puzzle me, particularly the lace loops on the medial half of the shoe. It looks like a strip of tough fabric stitched into the side of the shoe. Concerned that, with repeated tension on the loops in this strip, the strip or the holes may break. Also, the loops are covered up, so difficult to grab and adjust, and difficult to manage a runner's knot to lock in the heel. All in all, probably a gem of a supportive and durable shoe, with awkward lacing. Just not my fit on the side of the toebox.
