Shoes are an important element in being able to play well in Padel. The level of comfort, support, and grip are all key aspects in being able to move around during games efficiently and comfortably. Specialist Padel shoes feature either a full herringbone outsole or an “omni-court” outsole that provides optimal grip on sand and artificial turf. The herringbone pattern works great on all Padel court surfaces, whereas the omni court type sole works best on sand filled artificial grass courts, with the extra grip that it provides.

Key Differences from Tennis Shoes:
Choosing the Right Padel Shoe:
High Balance & High Sweet Spot - delivers greater power without sacrificing control. Suitable for advanced and experienced players. Inexperienced players may find it difficult to hit the sweetspot.
Medium Balance & a Centre Sweet Spot offer the right mix for intermediate to advanced players. These players play regularly and want to improve their game.
Medium High Balance & Slightly Larger Sweet Spot - a good all-around choice that can be used by players of all skill levels. Perfect for intermediate and recreational players alike.
Low Balance & Bigger Sweet Spot - for players to start, and play comfortably. The low balance and larger sweet spot also help prevent tennis elbow.
