SALES PITCH:
An extremely breathable shoe that’s meant to keep your foot cool in even the warmest conditions.

HOW IT TESTED:
The thin metal-mesh lining in the midfoot that runs from the outsole to the upper shows this shoe’s emphasis on ventilation. Not only is the shoe breathable, it’s designed to keep court-surface heat away from your foot with its Heat Defl ection Core. Meanwhile, the Fautex moisture-management technology in the Glaciator’s lining is made to keep your foot drier. Throw those elements together and you get the idea behind the shoe’s name. Some playtesters found that the Glaciator started out a little stiff but was otherwise comfortable. It was particularly well-received among women.

BOTTOM LINE:
A well-designed shoe with great ventilation and comfort.
