What to Expect from a Padel Shoe
A padel shoe must meet the specific movements of this sport: lateral, with plenty of braking and direction changes, on a sandy, slippery synthetic grass. Its chevron-patterned sole grips in the sand. Its stiff heel counter keeps the heel in place, and its reinforced sides prevent the foot from rolling. A toe guard protects the shoe during slides and dragging foot friction.
Size and Lifespan
You should try on your padel shoes at the end of the day, with the sports socks you'll wear, leaving half a centimetre of space in front of your toes: the foot moves a lot in the shoe during stops. The shoe should hold the heel without it lifting. Reserve your padel shoes for the court, as tarmac wears down the chevrons quickly, and you should change pairs when the sole becomes smooth at the pressure points: grip decreases and the risk of slipping increases.

Frequently Asked Questions
What sole for a padel shoe?
A chevron sole, or a mix of chevrons and knobs, grips on sandy synthetic grass without locking the foot. A running sole, which is too smooth, causes slipping on the sand.
Where does the brand Lotto come from?
Lotto is an Italian brand born in the Montebelluna region, the cradle of sports shoes in Italy. Known in tennis and football, it applies this know-how to its padel shoes.
What size should I take for a padel shoe?
Take your usual size, with about half a centimetre of space in front of the toes for sudden braking. The heel must be secure to avoid blisters during lateral movements.
Can a tennis shoe be used for padel?
A tennis shoe for clay courts, with a chevron sole, can do in a pinch. But padel places more emphasis on lateral support on sandy grass: a dedicated shoe offers better support.
When should I replace my padel shoes?
As soon as the chevrons are worn down, especially under the forefoot, grip decreases and the risk of slipping increases. A regular player often changes them once a year.
