Which sole suits your padel court?

Decathlon recommends clay or herringbone soles for artificial-grass courts with plenty of sand. It describes this pattern as offering the most grip of the sole types it compares. However, it warns that the same tread can give too much grip on courts with little sand or ‘mondo’ carpet.

Decathlon describes omni soles as a ‘multi-toe’ pattern for low-sand or ‘mondo’ carpeting, but says they lack grip on very sandy courts. Its hybrid category combines herringbone on the outside with omni on the inside. HEAD also links sole choice to sand levels, suggesting clay or all-court soles for newer artificial grass requiring less sand.

Grip is separate from support during changes of direction. Decathlon says rigid plates in parts of a shoe can improve support and stability, while HEAD advises against sacrificing cushioning and stability for lower weight.

How should padel shoes fit?

HEAD advises trying shoes on and checking whether their last, the form used to shape the shoe, is wide or narrow enough for your feet. It also recommends considering breathability and wearing appropriate sport socks. These are fit checks, not a recommendation to size up or down.

Decathlon says running trainers are designed for forward motion and lack the lateral support needed for padel. It describes tennis shoes as tending towards heel stability, while padel shoes focus on midsole stability for stops and pivots.

On 15 October 2026, Tennis-Point and Sweatband’s catalogue contained 57 men’s padel shoe listings, 43 women’s padel shoe listings and 6 kids’ listings. No listings were labelled unisex, and 1 had no stated fit category.

Which brands and models are listed?

On 15 October 2026, Tennis-Point and Sweatband listed 107 in-stock padel shoe listings in the catalogue. Brand counts were ASICS padel shoes 22, Wilson 18, Babolat 18, Bullpadel 15, Joma 10, adidas padel shoes 8, Mizuno 5, HEAD 4, K-Swiss 4 and RS by Robin Söderling 2.

The shops named the sole pattern as clay in 3 listings and herringbone in 3; it was not stated in 101. The list below carries the shop and date alongside each price, so an unspecified sole should not be read as confirmation of a particular pattern.

Questions

Can you wear tennis shoes for padel?

Decathlon says tennis shoes, particularly herringbone models, can provide traction on padel courts. It says padel shoes are designed to grip the artificial-grass and sand mixture more effectively.

Are herringbone soles suitable for every padel court?

Decathlon recommends them for courts with plenty of sand. It warns that they can provide too much grip on low-sand or ‘mondo’ surfaces.

Are NOX padel shoes listed here?

NOX is not among the brands in the Tennis-Point and Sweatband catalogue dated 15 October 2026. That describes this catalogue’s coverage, not availability across all UK shops.
