FIRST TAKE:
Last fall’s Axelis D offered tremendous support for advanced players, but at a cost—it was heavy. Fila put it on a diet but tried to maintain its stability. The result is this model.

HOW IT TESTED:
With the Torneo, Fila eliminated the Axelis D’s bulky eyelet pieces and made the upper lighter and softer through the use of perforated microfiber and mesh. Stability isn’t on par with the fully loaded Axelis D, but it’s still solid, especially around the heel. The Torneo split the opinions of our playtesters: Women said the weight, support, and comfort were perfect. But the men didn’t have anything passionate to say, good or bad. They obviously hadn’t heard about the seven-month outsole guarantee.

BOTTOM LINE:
It’s a good shoe if comfort and light weight are priorities.
