Many new padel players start by using regular running shoes—but this can affect performance and increase the risk of injury. Padel-specific shoes are designed for quick lateral movements, sudden direction changes, and traction on turf or sand-based courts.
Benefits include:
-
Strong lateral support to prevent ankle injuries
-
Durable outsoles for grip on padel surfaces
-
Shock absorption to protect knees and joints
-
Breathable material for long matches
If you want stability, speed, and comfort, switching to padel shoes is essential.
