What People Love About Their Pickleball Shoes

Dinkshot II
Brian P. - Brand Customer
I have been dedicated to another brand that provided great side support. But the problem was I always had to purchase inserts because there was not enough support on the heel. These shoes fit like a glove which really like. They provide a great feel on the court. And they are very comfortable and did not require me to buy inserts. Would definitely buy again. I hope they have more color options soon. Asked a lot about the shoes so let’s get so bling colors for the PB court 😁😁
MC 806 W
JW- Brand Customer
The shoe's width and the quality of cushioning and support it offers are critical factors for my comfort and injury prevention on the pickleball court. This is especially vital as I actively compete in over 30 events each year and engage in daily training sessions at home.
Sonicage
Jay S.- Brand Customer
I replaced a pair of Wilson Pickleball shoes I wore for 3 years and loved with the Sonicage. They are a definite upgrade. Comfortable right out of the box, I’ve played 6 hours in the Sonicage and appreciate the improved cushioning and support these shoes offer. The styling is also great. I highly recommend them.
PC Fusion Rev 5
Raul G.- Brand Customer
I have used these PC Fusion Rev 5 shoes about 6 times now, in recreational play and tournaments. Singles and doubles. They provide great support to the feet, stability, movement, and seem to be a solid and durable design (although it may be too early to confirm this). I have had great shoes for pickleball (other brands), and these felt as a step up for me providing a slight better feel in the court and better feel on my feet after the game is over. No sore feet yet with this pair even after 3 hours of play. I congratulate the team behind this design, and recommend them to everyone looking for pickleball shoes.
Sonicage
Manny S.- Brand Customer
I have been playing with your Sonicage shoes for a week and let me tell you, those shoes feel like they are part of my feet. They are so comfortable and the fit is just like you suggested—size down accordingly. Very satisfied with the product and hope for future styles and colors coming up. Congratulations on a great product! I hope the Pickleball community finds you quickly and realizes how good of a product you offer—the sport a real winner.
Ultrashot 3
Leigh P.- Brand Customer
I’ve worn Babolat, K-swiss, Adidas shoes and my feet hurt in all of them. By the second game I’m uncomfortable. My feet are happy in these Ultrashot 3 shoes! Add to that the support, stability & performance they provide...a really great court shoe. Thanks
MC 806 W
Janet B.- Brand Customer
At first I thought the shoes felt heavy, but after I wore them, they felt great. The design is wonderful, with the shoe supporting your foot in all the right places. Seems to be a very high-quality made shoe. 5 stars for the MC 806 W!
Dinkshot II
Reba H.- Brand Customer
The most comfortable court shoe (I've played tennis for 45 years and Pickleball for 3), I've ever worn! Great comfort and support. I'm a retired Dental Hygienist, and would have worn them for work! I can't say enough about this shoe, except, "More colors please!!!" The Dinkshot II is truly a game-changer.
Sonicage
Mark- Brand Customer
I’ve worn numerous other court shoes for pickleball and I was getting sore knees, and they wouldn’t last long. When I first put on these shoes, I could immediately feel that this is a different shoe from the rest. My knees hurt way less, which means more play. Very comfortable and they seem to be wearing very well. I actually bought a second pair so when my current ones are finally done, I don’t have to wait for another pair. Highly recommended, you won’t be disappointed.
Sonicage
Janet A.- Brand Customer
The Sonicage model is so well constructed. Little to no break-in period, I wear a ladies size 7 in most brands. Took a 6 1/2 with good BOMBA sock worn. Comfortable toe box, excellent arch support. Its own sock liner is SO smooth, I wanted to try and play sans socks! Tremendous confidence boost on the outdoor courts. Pivoting is aided by the distinctive ball on the sole. Overall, out of the 20+ brands I have worn for pickle, these are the G.O.A.T. Customer service was not needed, but they did contact me, just in case. What a wonderful find! Sonicage, a well-made shoe for pickle players everywhere.
