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.
To start off on the right foot, our design team has some tips:
Besides kitting yourself out with the right shoes, it's a good idea to use specific beginner balls when you start learning padel. They are softer and slower to make learning to control your shots easier. Finally, taking classes will help you learn faster and keep you from developing bad habits, such as using the same techniques from tennis or squash.
