| Why should you play padel with specific shoes? |
Padel is played on sand-filled artificial grass. This makes the court very slippery. Padel shoes have a sole with a specific shape so that players of all levels have the grip they need. They also provide lateral stability, foot support, and cushioning as they absorb impacts. |
| Mesh upper: Stay dry, match after match |
The Kuikma PS 990 Dynamic is equipped with a breathable, very flexible mesh upper for optimal comfort and to keep your feet cool. |
| Dual Grip padel sole |
This specialist padel sole grips the floor well as you push off and hit, without sticking.
It's all thanks to the two-part sole with a separate design at the front and back to adapt to every type of padel movement.
Developed exclusively by our Kuikma engineers. |
| Stretch sock liner at the heel |
Elasticated sock structure to provide an excellent fit and keep your feet supported throughout the match. |
| Pivot Point |
Since padel is a sport where you have to constantly change directions, Kuikma decided to integrate a pivot point into its shoes to promote foot rotation. It is located at the forefoot. |
| EVA foam |
There is EVA foam in the midsole and heel. Kuikma built EVA Cushioning into the midsole, a dense foam that optimises explosive movements, and a low-density EVA insert in the heel for greater comfort. |
| Choosing your padel shoes |
Padel shoes can make a big impact on performance. When choosing yours, you'll want to consider the following details: comfort (the length of your foot, shoe size, materials etc.); cushioning (technologies that ensure good cushioning); stability (laces, a length of fabric that wraps around the ankle and keeps your foot stable); traction (robust outsole); and robustness. |
