Performance

This is a best buy shoe that covers everything you need in a padel shoe with a slight balance toward stability, cushioning, and robustness over maneuverability and breathability.

This is a high traction shoe, which works great in sandy courts, due to its herringbone sole.

Asics Gel Padel Pro Herringbone Sole
The Gel Padel Pro sole is essentially a classic herringbone, making it suitable for sandy courts

This shoe has Asics gel inserts in the heel and the forefoot for cushioning. It’s upper is mostly mesh which gives decent breathability.

What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
