As a foot doctor I look at tennis shoes and pickleball shoe technology a bit differently as I focus more on what foot types benefit from these shoes as well as the tennis shoe's functional attributes on the tennis court

Some of the main areas we cover in this tennis shoe review:

- The weight, durability, fit and playability of the best tennis shoes in 2022, as well as their on court performance characteristics

It’s funny you mention the Mach 3 because that’s literally the most popular shoe amongst the Pickleball pros haha. Good stuff!

Best shoe for me in 2022...the ones I can find in my size😀great top 5

[petermelvin]

100% this guy is spot on! I tried the top three and I have a wider, flat foot and have horrible planar fasciitis = The Bab is the best shoe in this group - bought a 12 wide and it not only helped my foot pain but man am I a better player because of them! Thank you Zach! Keep the info coming buddy!

I've tried 30+ shoes for pickleball and while there are a lot more I'd love to try, the shoes that are best for me are the Asics Gel-Renma Pickleball shoe. I'd love to see a video on those. I put the Pedag Viva Sport insole in them.

[Muchlove]

Are they wide or narrow?
Also how is the Cushioning? Better than the turbos??

[philipr]

Love the video! When can we get a 2023 Pickleball shoe video?

[zachcarmichael]

Thoughts on the Nike Air Precision V for pickleball? I just bought a pair for $60 and they seem solid so far, especially with a sport insert.

[golfhouse]

Your # 1 is the # 1 shoe on the PPA tour....totally agree.

[pharaoh]

I went with your KD 14s for multi-sport recommendation. Turn out im only playing pickleball now lol. No complaints here. Been playing 1-2 a week for about 3 months with no major wear concerns yet. Thanks for the referral.

What’s a good indoor court shoe or is there something for both? What’s defined as a court shoe, indoor or out door?

[mug]

Can u review the tarmaks basketball shoes please?

[thehomelander]

I have a question that I wanted to ask about tennis point. On there website when you order a pair of shoes it has a thing where it asks some questions, eg: old shoes, what size of old shoes etc. it then predicts what shoe size you would need for this particular shoe. My question is, is that reliable as I have a pair of k-Swiss tennis shoes and a pair of ASICS trail shoes both different sizes to the shoe size tennis point recommended. Should I go with my gut of size 10 or should I go with tennis point and go with 9.5? Thanks for any help and sorry for the long comment.

I purchased the jet Mach 3 and the toe box was to wide. I have a narrow size 12.5/13 men’s … so you have any other recommendations?

[axmain]

Can you use the Babolat or the B Icons for outdoor basketball as well? Or would you suggest just going with the pg6 if you're looking for a shoe that can do both. FYI I have some Knee issues as well if that makes any difference here in the type of shoe.

[brunis_m]

Hey doc is there anything like a Hoka One One for tennis, with that stiffer sole on the toe that helps with toe pain?

[davidige]

I've noticed quite a few players wearing thick cushioned running shoes like Hoka. I was wary of injury risk of such an elevated shoe but I bought a $40 pair of Whitin shoes and they are my favorite to wear, so comfortable and feel safe.

[brianbanks]

i used this review and one of your other ones and picked up the Babolat and the Lotto for playing pickleball....the Lottos feel as comfortable as a pair of Hokas without feeling like I might tip over on a side slide....these feel like slippers right out of the box....the Babolat are a little tighter fit but not small and have a same comfort as the Lotto but a seemingly smaller footprint...either shoe I am really looking forward to using and I thank you for your expert analysis

[chrisscanlon]

Do you recommend a pickleball shoe for stability? Supinator here - worries about ankle rolling.
