Questions about padel shoes

Can I play padel in running shoes?

You can, but running shoes slide on sand filled turf and give little side support. Read the padel shoes guide.

Are tennis shoes OK for padel?

Omni or clay tennis shoes with a herringbone sole work well. Hard court tennis soles grip less on padel turf.

Do your shoes run true to size?

The Grip shoe is designed as a standard width shoe that is true to UK size.
