Verdict
One of the lightest clay shoes with a durability guarantee (12.7 oz, 6-month outsole warranty) and a full herringbone DX Rubber bottom, but it's a slim, low-profile speed shoe, not a plush do-everything option.
The Blade that finally keeps up with modern club pace without ditching the feel that made the line famous.
A comfortable modern 98 that gives rec regulars easy depth without a boardy, tour-stiff feel.
