Tennis shoes vs. padel shoes

If you want to try padel once, it is useful to know which footwear to use. The sport is similar to tennis, but there is a difference between tennis and padel shoes. For the first few times, regular sports or tennis shoes are fine, as long as they are flexible. The surface of padel is often artificial grass, so also ensure good grip. As you become more experienced in padel, you can switch to real padel shoes. You will notice that you turn much faster thanks to the stiffer sole, have more grip, and move even more flexibly.

What are the best padel shoes?

Your battle on the padel court depends on good equipment. We have the ideal padel shoes for men and women to help you achieve spectacular victories. For beginners, we recommend flexible padel shoes, while advanced padel players benefit from harder footwear. Make sure your foot can breathe, but stays stable in the shoe. Avoid injuries by choosing padel shoes with sufficient cushioning and carefully consider grip. By choosing the right sole, you gain strength. Omni soles perform well on artificial grass and herringbone soles allow you to slide extra well. Difficult choice? A mixed sole is a combination of both the omni and herringbone sole. Many professional padel players play in Asics padel shoes, which you can recognize by the GEL cushioning. However, the famous three stripes of Adidas padel shoes are also indispensable on the padel court.
