Great advice Shea. Proper shoes are so important and often overlooked. Thanks for the video.

Thanks for the discount!! And I agree, I have the Gel Resolution 8s too, which I got for the outsole warranty, and they’re just ‘meh.’ They’re not very comfortable and they actually bottomed out kind of fast and I stopped wearing them because they were killing my feet. I’ve since switched to the Nike Zoom Court NXT because I play on the balls of my feet mostly and I wanted something with good forefoot cushioning. So far, they’ve been light-years ahead of anything else I’ve tried (my previous shoes were the Adidas Ubersonic 4s). Super stable, comfortable, and I can play 4+ hrs without my feet hurting 👍 So it does come down to the player for sure, your body mechanics, etc. I use Foot Dr. Zach’s videos a lot for guidance when it’s time for a new pair - his channel is def worth checking out.

My question is which one of these shoes is the most durable and the sole doesn’t wear out. I burn through the soles like crazy!

Thanks for doing this research and posting this. Good luck in your tournament.

I've tried a lot of the court shoes, and so far the best for me are the Asics Gel-Renma Pickleball shoe. I did swap out the insoles for better ones. I know that these shoes definitely saved me from turning or breaking an ankle a week ago! If I had had my old shoes on, I fear I would have ended up in the ER.

I currently wear Asics volleyball shoes which have done well for me so far, but now thanks to this video, I'll be getting one of your recommended brands.

Just wish the Pickleball Supertore carried them.

Well dang! Wish I saw this video a few days ago, because I would have looked for you at the PPA North Carolina Open. (I live in Charlotte) It was such a great experience for both playing and watching and it's pretty cool for me that you mentioned Yana Grechkina, because she impressed me the most with how hard she hits, despite her petite frame. I talked to her about that in a short interview I'll be posting soon on my Charlotte Pickleballers channel.

We don't deserve you Shea, you're too good to us!

Great video and thanks for doing the research! Hope to cross paths in Atlanta. I’ll be out there competing at the pro qualifier

thanks for doing the digging dude!!! we have the babolat and the sketchers here in Montreal for about $150-225. thanks

Xero Shoe's 360 is a minimalist shoe, which helped me get over plantar fasciitis and als makes me feel really explosive on the court... try it!

Oh my goodenss...you make a great video. I was able to focus on what you were sharing by watching your mattress set up... Cracked me up. I went to the Superstore for your discountand they do not sell the brand you were talking about...Babolat. I'm confused. How do I get a discount on that brand????

Thx for the info

A lot of basketball shoe companies especially based out of asia because so much play is outdoors in asia and they make XDR shoes which are super durable for outdoor courts which are the same texture as pickleball courts.

The kswiss ultrashot 3s are nice

My question is which one of these shoes is the most durable and the sole doesn’t wear out. I burn through the soles like crazy!

Thanks!!!

Babolat sfx3 îs the best wide shoe IMO. I have 6 pairs of the same shoe. They work best for me, Im a heavy 5'8 dude

I am old ant these are the best shoes ever

Great research as usual, thanks for doing that. I would point out that a person doesn't necessarily want the best shoe for Pickleball, they want the best shoe for THEM. A man with weak ankles might want a 3/4 height shoe because it gives him more support. A pro might not want the heavier shoe but an amateur might give up some court mobility for superior stability.

That fact that he didn't even say anything when he started setting up a mattress to do flips, lol.

Best for your money is the Nike Air Precision 6. They're $60-70 new. Great traction and much lighter than typical court shoes.

Thanks! Just added it. Can’t believe no one mentioned it before 😂

I doubt if you know more about shoes than my podiatrist in Scottsdale. He puts out a list from his professional association of shoes for different sports and activities - he says you need a COURT shoe for pickleball. You might know that MOST all European shoe makers ONLY MAKE standard width of shoes - - which is pretty dumb in my mind. A shoe should FIT YOU first and they should be STABLE next -- the wearability is down the line in my view -- you must take care of your feet first. Everybody should have a good pair of orthotics and there are many good brands OTC - you DO NOT need $600 orthotics from a podiatrist. I had a ruptured tendon in my leg & foot from pickleball. I bought the New Balance 608's and they are super. They have four loops in the middle of the arch that secures the fit far better than any shoe I have had in my 81 years -- I bet that I have ten pairs of orthotics & my good friend in my podiatrist, so I kinda know. I will try to find you his list of court shoes. I do remember that AZICS were on the list.

How do I get to your google sheet? And yes, I'm a boomer...

Why does Babolat have such terrible ratings if they're supposed to be so good? It makes me think the athletes are silently sponsored.

Have you tried legit basketball shoes? Like Kobes/Jordan/KDs? Low pro though, not high ankle ones.

You are so funny! Love watching.

for tennis its nike, and yea that tennis court shoe you bought sucks, the cyliner block. i agree lol. I use the vapor pro 2.

from nike. I would reccomend.

soooo, which one are you going with next? :)

Hi. I enjoyed your review but I couldn’t find the link to the store that would accept SHEA20? Please send info.

Cada uno debe elegir el que le convenga, no creo en seguir el parón de los profesionales que más fuertes y jóvenes pueden sacrificar seguridad por menos peso. Para mi funciona el que mejor proteja mis tobillos y estoy usando Adidas "Game court" y eso no quiere decir que sean malos mis Asics "Bela" anteriores que sigo usando. Oros modelos de Asics me duraron poco, en esta marca hay que gastar mucho para tener un calzado duradero. Pero todos son bajos, no tienen una cobertura de tobillo como los Adidas, hay gente que no se adapta a tener el pie tan encerrado pero a mi me dan más seguridad.

Doesn’t ALW wear Fila

NONE of those shoes are available at Pickleball Superstore. Great.

Noooo the discount code no longer works ☹️

Tennis is played on a court lol. I think you are confusing the term tennis shoes with actual tennis sport shoes which are the same as a “court” shoe

Seems very likely Babolat and Kswiss sponsors these pros

Most pros are very open about their sponsorships and I’ve seen zero evidence that Babolat or Kswiss sponsors them. You could be on to something though!

Bab-A lot

You’re saying Tennis shoes have the worst lateral support??? What tf are you talking about??? Tennis is the most lateral moving sport… Almost every single tennis shoe that is on the market is built with lateral support due to the nature of the sport. I think you need to do a little bit more research before making those claims.

just came for the mattress :)

thanks for the video and info, you're super creative guy, just FYI SHEA20 didn't work for me... : (

Get to the point!!

Since you really don't have to run much or move much, just wear flip flops for wiffle tennis.

You are annoying and all of your internet sleuthing amounts to nothing. The Babolat jet tere and Mach 3 are two of the least durable tennis shoes on the market. I bet guys like Johns goes through a pair per month. Most durable shoes on the market are the ASICS gel res 8, Diadora Torneo and the Nike Gp turbo. This comes from experience people, not internet research.
