Comfortable and Durable Pickleball Shoes

I purchased these shoes again because my original pair, the same model, was beginning to show wear on the outsoles after a year of playing Pickleball up to three times a week. Amazon recommended I buy 1/2 size up which I did. I had to return them though because they were too long. I purchased my regular size, the same size of my old pair and they fit perfectly. The arch support is just right. Perhaps buy a half size up if you wear thick cushioned socks.If you play Pickleball, it is important to wear shoes specifically made for Pickleball. I found tennis shoes were too sticky and the bump-out on the outer sides prevented the smooth lateral movements required in Pickleball. ( In my experience, I have observed that often, the people who fall on the Pickleball court are wearing inappropriate shoes; either running shoes or tennis shoes.)I like the style of these shoes with subtle red, white and blue colors and an asymmetrical design. I found my original pair to be very durable. I threw them in the washing machine occasionally to keep them looking brand new. I carry them to the court and change into them there. If players believe these shoes wear out too quickly it may because they wear them off the court on cement or gravel.

comfort and good tread

This is my second pair of these sneakers. I tried many other brands but came back to these. They give good support, for true to size and are durable. Very happy with this purchase, again.

Great Cushioning

Update sept 1. I’ve had these shoes 3 months and the soul on both shoes is worn smooth. So I would say for an all court shoe, these are not the best choice. I do not play every day, so I am surprised they’ve worn so quickly. Yes, they fit perfectly, no breaking. But for the cost I would say this is not your best buy.. Toebox is Roomy but not loose. Heel is secure. Great cushioning from heel to toe. These are great for Pickleball, as well as Tennis. Played 4 hours and no hotspots. I normally take a size 7 in women’s and these are perfect. Lightweight, but a solid, supportive, athletic shoe. I ordered them in green and the color is awesome with the contrasting purple heel. These will be my new go to Pickleball shoes! I can honestly recommend them since they sold more out, so quickly.

Poor seller service. Great shoe if you an buy elsewhere

Highly recommend shoes but not through this seller. I bought these shoes in 2024 and they've been great. it's time for a new pair so i ordered more than a week before any black Friday sales began. Amazon indicated 5 pairs in my size were available - i waited about a week to get an estimated delivery window, by which time the shoes still showed available and on sale for not the $122 i ordered them at but rather less than $90 for my size! So not only did i not get the sale price I am also now waiting until after the first of the year for a delivery. I am guessing they are hopeful I will cancel my order but that is not going to happen for me.

Very comfortable

These are great shoes for Pickleball. They run true to size. The toe box is perfect. Not too wide or narrow. They are cooler than the other pair of New Balance, that I swap them out with, because they have the mesh toe. They offer solid stability and support. I will definitely be buying another pair.
