Detailed Review
Performance: The FILA Men's AXILUS 2 excels in providing a responsive feel thanks to its energized rubber cushioning. This feature absorbs shock effectively, allowing you to make quick movements without compromising comfort.
Design: The sneaker's clean white base with navy accents adds an element of sophistication. The combination of synthetic and textile materials not only enhances the breathability but also contributes to its overall aesthetic appeal.
Fit and Comfort: While the initial fit may be snug, many users have reported that the shoe conforms well to the foot after a short break-in period. The molded forefoot cage and heel cup offer much-needed support during intense activities.
Durability: Built with a rubber outsole, the AXILUS 2 provides impressive durability, ensuring that it withstands regular wear and tear. However, being not water-resistant means careful handling is necessary in wet conditions.

User Reviews
I am not a tennis player but these are comfortable, look good and somewhat wider than expected.
These shoes are comfortable and lightweight. They fit well and are worth the price
I get lots of compliments on these shoes. They look fantastic. Not all the comfortable because there's not much padding. They're not uncomfortable, but there are more comfortable shoes to choose from. But they are fast on the court because they're low to the ground and lightweight. I usually have to buy New Balance because I have wide feet. These shoes fit my wide feet just fine. I also like the 6 month guarantee on the soles. I will look at Fila shoes each season when it's time to buy new shoes.
This is a Christmas present for my son. They are beautiful. I know he’ll love them.
Just PERFECT
These Fila shoes were perfect. They allow for the perfect amount of movement in the toes for quick transitions on the court. The soles held up also.
I have a history with Fila. I never really liked their tennis apparel (shorts and shirts), and when Filadiscontinued, there weren't any shoes to like (comfort, style, personality). While the Punto may be a relic of pre-2010, the Axilus 2 Energize is (finally) a worthy shoe for both clay and hard court tennis...and they are light weight and comfortable. And let's not forget that the Punto was just red and white, while the Axilus 2 Energize has an excellent color selection.
These are really comfortable and great looking, but I thought they were slip ons from the picture so they were returned.
