| Why should you play padel with specific shoes? |
Padel is played on sand-filled artificial grass. This makes the court very slippery. Padel shoes have a sole with a specific shape so that players of all levels have the grip they need. They also provide lateral stability, foot support, and cushioning as they absorb impacts. |
| Sole design: Herringbone sole |
This sole is also called wavy or clay court tread. You can recognize it by its wave design. This is the most popular sole among regular padel players due to its good traction and its ability to slide well on the court. It's also incredibly robust and perfect for playing on synthetic turf or sand. |
| Midsole: Injected EVA |
This shoe offers the perfect balance of comfort, robustness and support thanks to its EVA injected foam midsole, which also ensures a dynamic response. |
| Mesh upper: Stay dry, match after match |
The Kuikma PS 500 is equipped with a breathable, very flexible mesh upper for optimal comfort and to keep your feet cool. |
| Choosing your padel shoes |
Your padel shoes have a big impact on your success, so you need to consider several factors: comfort (the length of your foot, shoe size, materials etc.); cushioning (technologies that ensure good cushioning, like the Kuikma injected foam sole); stability (laces, a length of fabric that wraps around the ankle and keeps your foot stable); traction (tough soles); and robustness. |
