Why do I need to wear padel-specific shoes?
Padel is played on synthetic carpet with sand. This makes moving around slippery. Padel shoes feature a sole with a specific geometry to give you the grip you need for players of all levels. They also provide lateral stability, foot support and shock-absorbing cushioning.
Sole pattern: Herringbone sole
This sole has also been called herringbone, wave or clay sole. You can recognize it by its wave-like pattern. This is the sole most commonly used in padel, thanks to its good grip. It also offers greater resistance and is ideal for competitions on synthetic carpet.
Midsole: EVA
This shoe features a harmonious combination of hard-wearing comfort and support thanks to its EVA foam, incorporated into the midsole to offer a more dynamic response.
Mesh upper: stay dry all game long!
The Kuikma PS COMFORT features a mesh upper with excellent breathability and great flexibility for optimum comfort that will keep your feet cool.
How to choose the right padel shoes?
Padel shoes have a major influence on sporting success. To make the right choice, you need to consider several aspects: comfort (foot length, shoe size, materials, etc.), cushioning, stability, grip and resistance.
