Shoes are an important element in being able to play well in Padel. The level of comfort, support and grip are all key aspects in being able to move around during games efficiently and comfortably. Specialist Padel shoes feature either a full herringbone outsole or an "omni-court" outsole that provides optimal grip on sand and artificial turf. This is a similarity shared with Clay Court tennis shoes (also suitable for Padel) which are also great for Padel and provide the required lateral support and comfort for any type of tennis. The other type of tennis shoe which is perfect is Omni-court tennis shoes (also suitable for Padel), which obviously have all the requisite support, but more importantly have fantastic grip on artificial grass court surfaces.
