IN CASE you haven't heard, pickleball is all the rage right now. America's fastest-growing sport (for three consecutive years now) has created a full-on boom train, and due to the fact the sport is friendly to all ages and levels of competition, brands and entrepreneurs are rushing to develop new gear that's suitable for all types of players. It's true your pickleball paddle is the most important piece of equipment you need, but another major area to consider investing in is proper footwear. We're talking about pickleball shoes.

The team here at MH HQ continually tests all the latest pickleball shoe releases to find the best up-to-date styles for all-day play. In the past year alone, we've tested over 25 pairs of shoes to see how they respond to pickleball. Some of the best pickleball shoes are simply well-made trainers, while other shoes are modified specifically for pickleball. When it comes to the best pickleball shoe money can buy, we're firm on the Wilson Rush Pro Ace Pickler as our top pick due to its high comfort, responsive design, and under-$100 price point.

When testing to find the best pickleball shoes, we found the two most important factors to consider are traction and stability. Like workout shoes, pickleball shoes need to handle quick movements in all types of directions, so you want strong outsoles with responsive tread patterns and a midsole structure that can handle fast-twitch lateral movements. Lateral stability is super important since it can help prevent common pickleball injuries like ankle or knee sprains, so we looked for shoes that had a wider base and a stiff lower structure to provide this kind of maximum stability. With that all being said, it's time to get to our top-tested picks. Keep scrolling to see the list.

Pros
  • Under $100
  • Classic court styling
  • 4D Support Chassis
  • Rubber drag pad
  • Locked-in heel design
  • Secure lacing
Cons
  • Not many colors available
  • Shoe can feel heavy for some

The Rush Pro Ace Pickleball is designed for court surfaces (indoor and outdoor) and has a 4D Support Chassis for controlled pivot movements and stability. I've worn this shoe playing for about six months now, logging matches that last up to two hours of consistent back and forth; through it all the Pickler has held tough.

The rubber drag pad has helped protect from holes toe dragging can cause, and the cushioned midsole has kept my high arches comfortable enough to the point I don't have to ever think about how my feet are doing (which is common when I test a shoe that doesn't have good arch support). I noticed the Pickler even has a rebound-like effect when making fast-twitch movements, which makes sense because of how close in construction the shoe is to Pro Ace Tennis Shoe—Wilson's top-selling model for tennis. Now, the rebound of the shoe alone isn't going to make you a better player, but I do believe it helped keep me on my toes more, especially when I would get in a fire-fight against another team.

The performance on this shoe is superb, and the style promises a clean look that's definitely suitable for wearing in country club environments. The comfort of the shoe—namely the supportive arch and cushioned padding around the tongue and ankle—became the final selling point for me to deem these the best pickleball shoes players can buy right now.

The Ace Pickler is a well-balanced, do-it-all shoe you can play in until the cows come home. For just under $100, this is a solid deal for what you're getting.

Best Pickleball Shoes for Competitive Play

Skechers Go Train Arch Fit Viper Court Pickleball

Pros
  • Under $100
  • Comfortable and stylish
  • ArchFit insole added for support
  • Strong Goodyear outsole
  • Low, lightweight design
  • Worn by pro pickleball players
Cons
  • Major sizing can sell out fast

Skechers pickleball shoes are highly underrated for how well they look and feel on the court. At the top of their lineup is the Viper Court, a performance pickleball shoe trusted by professional pickleball players like Catherine Parenteau and Tyson McGuffin. I love how sharp the Viper Court looks in all black, and how the silhouette veers from the common thought of pickleball shoes to be chunky and cushioned to the gills.

I'll say the Viper Court is not quite as comfortable as the Ace Pickler, as the Viper Court lacks some of the added paddings in the ankles and tongue that I loved on the Ace Pickler; but if I were playing competitively in leagues and tournaments I'd trade this comfort for two key features the Viper Court does really well. The first feature is strong traction. I could feel the Goodyear tread helping me turn and pivot much better than the other shoes I tested. The second feature is better arch support, what Skechers calls "Arch Fit", which gave me the ability to play for long periods of time without getting any foot pain from my feet that tend to sometimes pronate.

You can consider the Wilson Ace Pro Pickler for most levels of play, but if you're focusing on playing competitively then the Viper Court is going to give you better performance in the heat of the moment. The best part is the Viper Court is just under $100 too, so perhaps it's possible you double up and get a pair of Wilson and Skechers for all the pickleball matches you're going to be playing in 2023.

Pros
  • Great price point
  • Several colors available
  • Breathable recycled mesh feels good during summer
  • Ample cushioning
  • Easy to get on and off
Cons
  • Wears down faster than other shoes on this list

The most underrated pickleball shoe on this list, the GameCourt 2 is ultra-lightweight and breathable, making them perfect for summer play. I love the array of colors the GameCourt 2 is available in too, and I especially enjoyed the on-feet look of this red and white color.

There aren't a ton of bells and whistles on this shoe, but it has just enough to make it a great pick in my book. We're talking airy mesh to keep your feet cool, a cushioned EVA foam midsole, and an Adiwear outsole with treaded grip so you can pivot and make quick moves. Another feature about the shoe I liked is the upper material is made with 50% recycled content, so there's an eco-friendly component to this shoe as well.

The qualms about this shoe are that it's not the strongest or most supportive shoe on this list. Instead, the GameCourt 2 is balanced, with priorities of being lofty and breathable. The price point is friendly though, so the shoe starts wearing down faster than expected you can always buy another fresh pair.

Pros
  • Trusted support and durability
  • Polyurethane film that protects against scuffing and abrasion
  • Cushioning GEL tech
  • TRUSSTIC midsole helps with lateral stability
Cons
  • Shoe caters more to narrow feet

The Gel-Game 9 Pickleball is Asic's latest and greatest dedicated pickleball shoe release, and after I tested it I found it combined much of what I loved about prior Asics models with some additional durability and support. The shoe has a mesh design and is layered with a tough synthetic overlay and polyurethane film The PU film covers the whole front of the foot, and I found the material to be much more abrasion-resistant than I would've thought. What's surprising is the film keeps the shoe lightweight, so there's an interesting balance of weight and durability that I believed to perform well on the hard pickleball courts I played on.

Another special feature of this shoe that caters to pickleball players is the TRUSSTIC technology in the midsole. Asics maintains this tech helps improve stability, which makes sense to me because I found this shoe to be one of the best performers when it came to making fast lateral movements while playing.

It's worth noting the Gel-Remna model that I tested in the past had this TRUSSTIC midsole, and so a lot of the Gel-Game 9 reminds me of that personal favorite shoe. Overall, I see the Gel-Game 9 as a much more supportive and tougher Gel-Remna, so if you liked that model (or any other Asics models) then you're going to like upgrading to the true pickleball shoe model.

Most Supportive Pickleball Shoes

K-Swiss Men's Express Light Pickleball Shoe

Pros
  • 180-degree Plantar Arch Support Chassis
  • Easy to purchase
  • Supportive DURAWRAP cover
  • Several colors available
  • Secure lacing that doesn't loosen up during play
Cons
  • Major sizing can sell out fast

You might be surprised to find K-Swiss at the top of the pickleball shoe market, but the brand has quietly been creating trusted game-ready models for all types of price points. I've come to find the Express Light as one of the top supportive and strong pickleball shoes money can buy.

Two main features of this shoe stood out to me when testing: the 180-degree Plantar Support Chassis and the DURAWRAP cover to help combat toe dragging. The support chassis worked great at keeping my feet secure while playing, giving me ample support in my high arches and also preventing my feet from twisting and rolling over inside the shoe—even when they go really hot and sweaty. The DURAWRAP cover is the outsole material used to combat abrasion and toe-dragging. The cover is definitely hard alright, and so it's nice to know you have this strong outer shell over the cushioned mesh that feels oh-so-good on the feet.

I did find the shoes to fit quite snugly, so I'd potentially recommend going up a half size on this shoe. The design is unique, and I came to really enjoy the all-grey color of the shoe. It's not the fastest shoe, but it provides great durability and support. This is a well-balanced model you can play outside in for long periods of time. I'm looking forward to seeing how future K-Swiss pickleball shoes develop.

Best Pickleball Shoes for Indoor Play

Asics Upcourt 5

Upcourt 5
Best Pickleball Shoes for Indoor Play

Asics Upcourt 5

Pros
  • Supremely lightweight
  • Can play on an outdoor court with the shoes if you want
  • Supportive midfoot panels
  • Outsole sticks and grips to all types of indoor courts
  • Only $60
Cons
  • Major sizing can sell out fast
  • Can wear down fast if worn playing outside

The Upcourt 5 is the latest iteration of the top-selling indoor trainer from Asics. Not only is this shoe loved by indoor volleyball players, but I believe it's also a must-have for indoor pickleball players. The shoe is super lightweight, sturdy, and optimized to have some of the strongest traction in the game. You won't be slipping and sliding on a gym floor in these sneakers.

To be completely honest, I definitely enjoyed playing pickleball matches on outdoor courts with these shoes on, and you can definitely wear them for both indoor and outdoor use if you want. But the downside to playing with these shoes outdoors is they are prone to wearing and tearing faster. The reasoning is although the mesh is cool and breathable, there isn't much protection from abrasion on the court and from water.

What I love the most about the Upcourt 5 is the friendly price point for the value you get, so it's totally possible you wear these for all types of pickleball play and then just re-up on a pair when you need them. It's not a terrible idea, but for me, I do view these as performing the best indoors.

Pros
  • Comfortable sock-like fit
  • High level of cushioning and durability
  • Sleek design
  • Michelin rubber outsoles
  • Foam-protected heel zone for shock absorption
  • Power strap for support on lateral movements
Cons
  • Need to size up if you have wide feet
  • Only ideal for competitive play

Strong Michelin outsoles, Ortholite molded insoles, and an attached power belt for lateral support are a few of the key reasons why I found the Fury 3 to be a powerful pickleball shoe worthy of competitive play. I was also impressed with how breathable the upper was on this shoe considering how much padding and protection is built-up on it. The stack of the shoe adds some luxe cushioning that other pickleball shoes on this list do not have, and I definitely enjoyed the foam heel when it came to keeping my foot secure and comfortable.

One downside I found when testing the Fury 3 is the shoe is more generous to narrow feet, so those with wider feet will want to make accommodations and probably go up half a size. The shoe is also heavy like a traditional tennis shoe, so if you aren't used to the weight it might throw you off. That's not to say the weight is a bad thing though, because the shoe is tough enough to handle high stakes of play.

I believe the Fury 3 is suitable for competitive league play or tournaments. If you're looking for something more leisurely and comfort-driven, you have better options elsewhere on this list.

Pros
  • Lightweight for a mid-top
  • Excellent ankle support
  • Long lifespan
Cons
  • Traps heat more than other shoes on this list
  • Sells out fast

Another volleyball shoe that's easily transferrable to pickleball, the Wave Momentum is made to prioritize traction and support. What's great about this pair is they come in a stylish mid-top silhouette, which is perfect for those looking for additional ankle support.

Like most mid-top trainer shoe models, the Momentum 2 does trap more heat than a low-top shoe. So if you want to prioritize breathability you might want to look elsewhere. Really the play with this model is ankle support, and anyone who's ever had ankle problems (some of us editors included) knows the added support can help stabilize the ankle when making fast movements. There might be more pickleball-specific shoes that release in the near future with mid-top and high-top designs, but for now, the Momentum 2 is the best overall option we found for those who like this specific style of shoe.

FitVille Men’s Wide Pickleball Shoes

Pros
  • Excellent stability
  • Insoles help with arch support and over-pronation
  • Over 800 five-star Amazon reviews
  • Can easily slide in custom insoles
Cons
  • Outsole can wear down faster than expected

This FitVille model provides excellent support and offers generous room for those with wide feet. It performs so well that players with plantar fasciitis have found it a good shoe to turn to, as they believe it's helped them with relief while also providing performance on the court.

Players with wide feet like how the insoles and EVA midsole help provide arch support and prevent overpronation. The shoe is also easy to insert one's own custom insoles, which is huge for those who always have trouble finding a way for their insoles to transfer over. The only downside to this shoe is the actual outsole itself wears down pretty fast, especially if you're playing frequently outside in the summer. The good news is though the shoe is on sale often, so if you do find yourself with worn-down soles you can easily re-up and get a new pair shipped to you fast.

  • Over 800 five-star Amazon reviews
Cons
  • Mesh upper prone to tears and scuffs

The 696 V4 has slowly grown into a player favorite in the game thanks to a breathable mesh upper and a cushioned REVlite midsole. The sneaker also has a durable, herringbone-patterned outsole designed for hard-court play.

When in hand, we couldn't deny the shoe had a timeless look to it. We saw the shoe instantly adding style points to whatever outfit we chose to wear on the court. For those of us who have wider feet, this shoe gave proper support and comfort where needed most. The only downside we'd highlight is the shoe is prone to more tearing than usual due to the mesh upper.

Cons
  • Fit narrow. Wide feet should opt for the wide sizing.
  • Mesh can get dirty real quick

It's true this pair of UA trainers were made for cross-training first but we, as well as others in the pickleball community, have found the tread on these have exceptional traction. The full rubber tread has specially placed flex grooves that move in all types of directions for enhanced traction and flexibility on all types of surfaces. They wear great on indoor courts and perform even better on an outdoor court surface.

Combine the fact this shoe weighs under 11 ounces and contains just the right amount of UA's comfortable and responsive Charged cushioning, and you have a pickleball shoe you can keep going back to the well each time whenever you need to replenish.

And considering it's only $100, this is a shoe made with premium materials that won't break the bank.

Why Trust Men's Health

commerce breaker

For well over a year now, Men's Health has been covering the rise of pickleball. We've covered everything from the potential health benefits of pickleball (this guy lost 70 pounds by incorporating pickleball into his workouts) to the latest and greatest pickleball gear to hit the market.

When creating our guide to the best pickleball paddles, we also wanted to create a guide to the best pickleball shoes. Proper footwear is everything when it comes to making sure you are maximizing your workouts and doing them in a safe way, and so we tested our best pickleball shoes to the same standards we test our best running shoes, workout shoes, trainers, and more.

Aside from our evergreen buying guides, Men's Health also covers new and exciting releases in our awards packages. Our annual Outdoor Awards and Fitness Awards are both areas where you can find recommendations of pickleball products, or products that would translate well for use when playing pickleball—like gym bags, recovery shoes, compression socks, and more.

How We Selected

line break

Over the past year, we consulted with Men's Health's editors and writers on the best pickleball shoes for outdoor and indoor play. Experts, including our gear and commerce editor John Thompson, tested a number of pickleball shoes and evaluated each shoe's stability, durability, weight, and price point. Special consideration was taken into account for pickleball shoes that had excellent traction and stability since we believe those two qualities are the most important in a quality pickleball shoe.

We then inspected each shoe after testing to see what features stood out, and what features of the shoe could use improvement. At the end of our testing, we made sure to highlight what makes each pickleball shoe special so players can understand which model will fit their game the best.

Lastly, we also considered top-reviewed pickleball shoes that had high praise from the pickleball community. Some players like to stick to specific brands, and so we highlight many of what we believe to be the best pickleball shoes from several of the major athletic brands.

What to Consider When Buying Pickleball Shoes

pickleball shoes

The best shoes for playing pickleball are optimized for fast lateral movements and are made to help reduce the chance of injury. Here are some other things to consider when buying pickleball shoes.

  • Midsole and Outsole Construction: In general, a good pickleball shoe is going to have a wider base and sturdy construction in the outsole and midsole. These design notes help reinforce the shoe for when you have to make fast lateral movements. The goal is to provide support and to keep your foot planted when making sharp side-to-side movements. If an outsole and midsole are not designed with these characteristics, you risk the chance of your shoe collapsing, which could lead to slipping or losing traction. The downside to a supportive design like this is there is often added weight, so you do not expect a good pickleball shoe to weigh anything less than 10 ounces. When it comes to the outsole, look for a shoe that has a strong rubber with a pattern that will help grip surfaces and reduce the odds of slipping when turning your feet. When looking at the midsole, aim for a shoe that has supportive cushioning (like EVA foam) and keeps a relatively low profile. Prioritizing a midsole with cushioning too much could lead you to a shoe that sits high (like a Hoka), thus leading to a less responsive design, which could potentially lead to a greater chance of rolling an ankle when making fast turns on the court.
  • Playing Indoors vs. Outdoors: Most pickleball shoes can be used indoors and outdoors, but we found there are shoes optimized for better play for each type of court surface. If you're planning on playing indoors a lot, then a pickleball shoe with a significantly strong rubber outsole (like those you see on a volleyball shoe) is going to be a good option. Indoor pickleball shoes are designed with special grooves and materials to stick to indoor courts and basketball courts (especially dusty ones). If you wear indoor shoes on an outdoor court, it's possible you won't get the same type of grip you would expect. If you're planning on playing outdoors, you don't have to focus so much on the strong outsole. Many of the best outdoor pickleball shoes have good grip, but they also should prioritize breathability and be relatively lightweight. Due to these preferred qualities, some tennis shoes and sneakers have proven to be good picks for pickleball shoes when playing outdoors.

Can You Wear Running Shoes for Pickleball?

breaker

If you're someone who's going to play pickleball casually, then you could get away with a low-profile running shoe. But if you're expecting to play pickleball more competitively, we strongly consider aiming for a pair of shoes optimized for play.

The reason we don't recommend wearing just any type of running shoe is that running shoes are made for forward motion, so there's often less emphasis on reinforcing the shoe for side-to-side movements. Running shoes also have less structure and stability than what you want in a pickleball shoe, as the running styles these days are made to be as lightweight and breathable as possible (with high cushioned stacks), which means less focus on overall support.

So to be clear, you probably should steer from wearing running shoes for pickleball if you expect to play the game on a regular basis. A proper pickleball shoe is a smart investment that will help give you traction and stability while greatly decreasing the chance of rolling an ankle or spraining a knee.
