Pickleball is becoming more and more popular in Switzerland, and as the sport grows in popularity, there is also an ever-increasing selection of equipment specifically designed for it. But while the focus is often on the pickleball paddle , the shoes are often overlooked - even though they are essential for safety and performance on the court.
Why conventional sports shoes are not enough
Pickleball requires quick lateral movements and sudden changes in direction. Ordinary running shoes are designed primarily for forward movement and do not offer the lateral stability necessary on a pickleball court. Shoes that are specifically designed for court sports feature optimized soles with special grip for multidirectionality.
More safety and protection for joints
On hard court surfaces, unsuitable shoes can increase the risk of injury. Pickleball shoes offer increased ankle support and additional cushioning to reduce strain on the knees and back. Thanks to durable materials, they are also ideal for frequent stops and sliding movements.
Durability and comfort in one
Thanks to their abrasion-resistant construction, pickleball shoes can withstand the intense demands of the sport, making them a long-term investment in your health and comfort on the court.
If you want to improve your performance and safety on the court, it's worth switching to specialized pickleball shoes - a step your joints will thank you for.
