I have MANY pairs of pickleball shoes from all the top manufacturers and hands down, these are the best!Fit is true to size and need no breaking in time. Very comfortable, yer supportive. They are not the lightest model out there, but don't feel heavy my any means.I really like the balance of support and agility as well as just the right amount of grip these shoes provide.I play several times a week and these have become my go to PB shoe. Durability seems to be good so far.

Best court shoe I've ever worn!!!
These shoes are the REAL DEAL! Top notch quality product from a top notch quality company. I've been playing pickleball for several years now, and I felt my game instantly improve when I put these shoes on. They provide strong foot and ankle support so I can confidently chase down balls with no concern of turning my ankle. They also provide stability and bounce to help me dink calmly at the net and take a smash when I can. Additionally, I suffer from plantar fasciitis (and have sensitive feet generally) but these are THE MOST COMFORTABLE COURT SHOES I'VE EVER WORN. I've had a history of rolled ankles and blisters from pickleball, but with these shoes, those problems are long gone. Job well done, Diadem!! I will never wear a different court shoe ever again.

Great for Pickleball - If only they were durable.
Love these for pickleball. Very light and comfortable. Can wear for hours and no feet pain at all. The only issue is the traction wears out very quickly. I am lucky if these last more than 2-3 months.

Great Pickleball Shoes
Initially I was wearing Hokas to play pickleball and a coach said I should really get court shoes made for pickleball because they help you go back and forth sideways. I wore the Hokas cause my feet would hurt so I was worried about that but these shoes turned out to have good cushioning and I can play for a few hours and my feet and back do not hurt. They are really comfortable.

Too Tight & Unsupportive — Letdown for Long Matches
What I Liked:• The shoe offers decent stability laterally and feels secure during side-to-side movements.• The heel cup is well-constructed, so there’s little slippage in the back of the shoe.• The grip on the court surface is good; solid traction, no slipping during pivots or sudden stops.⸻What I Didn’t Like:1. Forefoot Too Constricted:From the moment I put them on, the toe box feels tight. My toes are cramped, especially during quick forward sprints or sudden stops. After about an hour of play, my forefoot feels numb and tight, and the discomfort becomes hard to ignore.2. Poor Arch Support:The midfoot/arch area feels flat — there’s almost no structure or support under the arch. After around an hour, I begin to feel strain in the arch and along the sole of my foot, especially when walking between points or standing on one leg for serve/return. A lack of supportive structure causes my arch to collapse slightly under load, which contributes to soreness.3. Pain Onset & Fatigue:Because of the tight forefoot and lack of arch support, I notice fatigue and soreness in the bottoms of my feet after 45-60 minutes of continuous play. What starts as discomfort becomes more of a burning or aching sensation, especially beneath the ball of my foot and near the arches.4. Fit/Break-In Doesn’t Solve It:I gave them a few sessions to break in, but the discomfort in the forefoot persists. The materials don’t stretch enough or give in key areas, so tightness remains even after repeated wear.

Comfort
Amazing! Purchased my second pair. They are very responsive and supportive. And the best part is that they are comfortable. After hours of play they are still comfortable enough for the walk home from the courts.
