Padel Footwear

Frequently Asked Questions

• How can I choose the right pair of padel shoes?

  Look for shoes with ample cushioning and support, especially around the ankles and arches, to reduce the risk of injury and enhance comfort during long matches.

  Additionally, consider the court surface you’ll be playing on most frequently and choose shoes with appropriate traction patterns on the sole to provide optimal grip and stability.

• Can I wear squash shoes for padel?

  We don’t recommend it. While squash shoes may share some similarities with padel footwear in terms of the quick lateral movements and traction needed, there are notable differences between the two sports that could impact the suitability of squash shoes for padel.
