If you've ever gone up a size just to get width, or finished a match with numb toes and a sore bunion joint, that's the shoe's fault, not your feet's. The Koto 1 is Notace's answer: the first natural court shoe built around a genuinely foot-shaped, wide toe box.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA wide toe box that actually does something.\u003c\/strong\u003e Instead of tapering in towards the big toe the way most tennis and court shoes do, the Koto 1's toe box is cut to the natural width of a splayed foot. Your toes can spread out and grip the footbed the way they would barefoot, which means better balance and power off the push-off, and none of the pinching, rubbing or cramping that comes from forcing a wide foot into a narrow shoe. It's a genuine fix for a problem a lot of players have simply learned to live with.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBuilt on a neutral, zero-drop platform.\u003c\/strong\u003e The Koto 1 sits at a 19mm stack height with a 0mm heel-to-toe drop, so your foot stays level and your natural posture and gait are preserved instead of being tipped forward the way a raised-heel shoe does. Paired with a fully articulated, multi-flex outsole, the shoe moves with your foot through every plant, pivot and change of direction rather than fighting against it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLocked in where it counts.\u003c\/strong\u003e A non-marking rubber outsole with a strategically placed herringbone tread pattern grips indoor and outdoor court surfaces for fast, confident lateral movement. Targeted reinforcements through the forefoot and heel keep the back of your foot secure, so the extra room up front in the toe box never comes at the cost of stability when you're sprinting to the net or loading up for a serve. A unique PU cage works with the lock-in lacing system to let you dial in a snug, personalised fit around the midfoot and heel, independent of how roomy the toe box feels.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLight without feeling flimsy.\u003c\/strong\u003e The next-generation eTPU midsole is engineered to be exceptionally lightweight while staying soft and responsive underfoot, keeping the whole shoe down at just 290g (Men's US 9) despite the extra structure built in around the toe box and heel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is also why the Koto 1 carries a premium price tag: it isn't a mainstream shoe narrowed-down to fit a generic last and relabelled for court sports, it's a shoe designed from the ground up to solve the wide-foot, narrow-toe-box problem properly. Notace was founded by a footwear industry veteran with an academic background in running gait and biomechanics, who partnered with development teams in Japan to bring the same restraint and precision found in Japanese design to every pair — nothing on the Koto 1 is decorative; every material and construction choice is there to earn its place. Built as a true court-to-gym shoe, it's equally at home playing tennis or pickleball, training, or just getting through a normal day in genuine comfort.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFoot-shaped, wide toe box for natural toe splay and all-day comfort\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeutral, 0mm-drop platform at a 19mm stack height for natural foot positioning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNon-marking rubber outsole with herringbone tread for indoor\/outdoor court grip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNext-gen eTPU midsole for an exceptionally lightweight, responsive feel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnique PU cage and lock-in lacing system for a secure, personalised midfoot\/heel fit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTargeted forefoot and heel reinforcements for locked-in stability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e290g (Men's US 9) and ideal for tennis, pickleball, training and everyday wear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Notace","offers":[{"title":"US 7","offer_id":62806899884113,"sku":"KOTONAVCRM-M-01","price":259.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"US 7.5","offer_id":62806899916881,"sku":"KOTONAVCRM-M-02","price":259.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"US 8","offer_id":62806899949649,"sku":"KOTONAVCRM-M-03","price":259.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"US 8.5","offer_id":62806899982417,"sku":"KOTONAVCRM-M-04","price":259.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US 9","offer_id":62806900015185,"sku":"KOTONAVCRM-M-05","price":259.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US 9.5","offer_id":62806900047953,"sku":"KOTONAVCRM-M-06","price":259.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US 10","offer_id":62806900080721,"sku":"KOTONAVCRM-M-07","price":259.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US 10.5","offer_id":62806900113489,"sku":"KOTONAVCRM-M-08","price":259.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US 11","offer_id":62806900146257,"sku":"KOTONAVCRM-M-09","price":259.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"US 11.5","offer_id":62806900179025,"sku":"KOTONAVCRM-M-10","price":259.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"US 12","offer_id":62806900211793,"sku":"KOTONAVCRM-M-11","price":259.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"US 13","offer_id":62806900244561,"sku":"KOTONAVCRM-M-12","price":259.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0638\/3530\/8113\/files\/notace-koto-1-navy-cream-mens-tennis-shoe-1.png?v=1791174161"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0638\/3530\/8113\/collections\/notace-new-logo.png?v=1791247302","url":"https:\/\/tension24.com.au\/collections\/notace.oembed","provider":"Tension 24","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
