There’s a new shoe in town – and it’s making strides as one of the best out there. The Sentinel tennis shoe from Fila was designed with all the needs of the high level player in mind – it’s comfortable, durable, and offers great traction, with a fit that feels glove-like and a stability that withstands the rigors of even the toughest matches. Mark Eggert, Fila’s VP of Footwear Design and Advanced Concepts, says the Sentinel was designed on a blank slate – “we…built it from the ground up,” making sure every detail was addressed to Fila’s high standards. The reaction so far has been overwhelmingly popular – Fila player Andreas Seppi calls it , “Light, extremely durable and very comfortable on-court..The Sentinel is now my favorite Fila shoe that I have worn.” Other pros agree – Janko Tipsarevic and Julia Goerges both note the comfort, stability, lightweight feel of the Sentinel. “The traction is excellent,” says Tipsarevic, “and the shoe is very durable for the hours that I put in on the tennis court.”
	The secrets to the Sentinel’s success? A brand new construction that emphasizes lightweight comfort and superior cushioning for the ultimate ride. The upper has added mesh for ventilation, while the collar of the shoe is made from memory foam for lasting comfort. The midsole has a molded sock liner that gives great comfort while still remaining lightweight, thanks in no small part to the blown polyurethane construction. Plus, TPR toe protection gives high-wear areas of the shoe increased durability. And, the Evergrind™ outsole that covers the length of the shoe is guaranteed for 6 months of hard play – with a promise like that, plus an innovative modified herringbone pattern for the best in traction, it’s no wonder the pros are raving about the Sentinel.
The Sentinel comes in a host of great colors – for men, there is a navy/red/white shoe, a light blue/gray/white shoe, a classic all-black shoe, and a hot volt/black shoe that is sure to turn heads. For women, the Sentinel comes in silver and white, blue and white, and a bright pink and silver combination that does not disappoint. All models of the Sentinel retail at $100, and they’re available now at Tennis Express!
