Which one is better between Butterfly Lezoline Rifones and the newer Levalis?

[Robin0910]

To those who tried both, what are the technical differences?
Also, how’s the sizing for them? Are they true to the size?

I have tried both. For people wide feet lezoline levalis is wider than rifones, if you have slim feet rifones might be true to size but for me with wide feet, rifones needs to order a size a bit bigger.

 

[Machi]

So, levalis is true to size?

yes

... and what is the weight of them?

I have some old lezoline, they run a bit big, I wear 43/44 and 44 is too wide for me.

Lezoline Mach is worth considering. Light, great fit and you look like a pro!

can you give a review on the newer shoes?

The lezoline levalis is a very comfortable shoe with good breathability, it also got very good grip and support when playing on concrete floors.It is light and good for fast footwork. I'm not sure about it's durability because I only had it for 2 weeks.

Hello, it has been almost a year since your comment, how have you been finding the levalis? And compared to the rifones

Have you considered the Mizuno Wave Drive?

Have you considered the Mizuno Wave Drive?

I am currently using the Mizuno wave drive 9s but I don’t like them as they aren’t very comfortable for me and they don’t provide enough cushioning and support as they give my knees a beating

Which of the two did you find the most comfortable and better cushioned?

IMHO. The lack of cushioning in the Wave Drive helps you move side to side better, which is why many pros use them. The knee pain has nothing to do with the shoes, it's probably because something else or your legs aren't aligned or in sync with your body movement, such as during a topspin rotation.

Yeah youre probably right but the shoes really make my feet sore in short sessions. Haha but I don’t have the athleticism of the pros so my body can’t take it aswell as they do lol 🤣

Also, how is the sizing on the lezoline levalis? I got 28.5cm for my wave drive 9 and it was a bit big with about a thumb gap which is a bit big, but my foot measures about 27.5 to 28
