A shoe designed for padel
Padel imposes specific requirements: sharp stops, constant changes of direction, lunges towards the walls and lateral movements on a synthetic grass surface covered with sand. A padel shoe combines a spike sole that grips the sand without blocking pivots, a reinforced upper at the forefoot that rubs against the ground during slides, and cushioning at the heel for landings after smashes.
Selecting the right one
You should choose your padel shoe with sports socks, at the end of the day, when your foot is slightly swollen, leaving half a centimetre in front of your toes. The heel must be secure, without slipping. Heavier players or those prone to pain should prioritise cushioning, while quick players prefer lightweight shoes. You should reserve your pair for the court, and replace them when the sole pattern wears away, as grip decreases significantly.

Frequently asked questions
What sole should I choose for a padel shoe?
On sandy synthetic grass, the zigzag sole, known as spike, grips without slipping on the sand. The omni sole, with small spikes, is suitable for more worn courts or mixed surfaces.
Can you play padel with tennis shoes?
It's possible to start with, but a padel shoe is designed for sandy grass and sharp lateral movements. Its sole provides better grip and its support protects the ankle more effectively.
Which player wears Nox shoes?
Nox partners with Argentinian Agustín Tapia, one of the best padel players in the world, who has his own signature range. The Spanish brand also equips other top players.
How to choose the right size of padel shoes?
Take your usual shoe size and check that there’s a little space in front of your toes, as your foot slides forward when braking. The heel should stay snug during direction changes.
When should you change your padel shoes?
When the sole becomes smooth in the pressure areas or when the cushioning compresses, grip and protection diminish. A regular player who plays several times a week typically replaces them each playing season.
