How It Felt in My Testing
The Bela Tour feels planted. The upper holds the foot well when you brake into the glass.
I trusted the outsole on side-wall recoveries and quick split steps. It is not the lightest shoe, but the support paid me back late in the set.
The drill that sold me was a repeated bandeja-to-corner recovery. My outside foot stayed calmer than it does in generic tennis shoes.
