High cushioning
Head's new top of the line shoe has been designed from the ground up to support padel's constant pivoting and changes of direction.
Its unusual sole is dominated by isometric rectangles, formed of three slashes each. It provides medium traction, so it's more suitable for players of Mondo new curled grass courts than sandy courts.
They prioritize stability over flexibility as the sole is made up of a single sheet of rubber.
They feel light on the feet and have decent breathability.
These are well balanced shoes in terms of comfort, stability and traction - if you don’t know which shoe characteristic you’d like to highlight, you’ll probably be happy with these.
Score breakdownThe first thing I noticed was how comfortable I felt in my movements due to the padel-specific sole. You’re always going in all directions in padel, this shoe’s stability supports you in that.
