3 Tips on How to Extend the Lifespan of Your Padel Shoes
Allow the shoes to dry completely after use
Let the shoes dry naturally after use, and remove the insoles if possible. Avoid placing the shoes in direct sunlight or on a radiator, as this can reduce the durability of the materials. Store the shoes in a dry place with good ventilation. Avoid leaving them in a sports bag for extended periods, as moisture and heat can damage the materials and cause odors.
Clean the shoes regularly
Remove dust and dirt after use by wiping the shoes with a damp cloth. If needed, use a soft brush for the soles to remove sand and dirt that can wear down the material.
Use the shoes only for padel
Avoid using the shoes as everyday footwear or for other sports. The soles of the shoes are designed for a specific surface, thus, use on asphalt or other hard surfaces can significantly shorten their lifespan. Regularly check the pattern of the outsole and the heel. If they are worn down, the shoes will lose grip on the surface and shock absorption, increasing the risk of injury.
3 Tips on How to Get the Most Out of Your Padel Shoes
Choose a shoe that matches the court surface
Padel courts vary in the amount of sand on the surface. The general condition and wear of the courts can also differ. These factors affect your shoe requirements, so make sure to choose a shoe that meets the demands of the surface you play on to optimize grip and comfort.
Wear proper socks
Invest in sports socks designed for the demands of padel. Good socks reduce friction, provide extra support, and help keep your feet dry during play.
Extra cushioning? Consider insoles
If you play a lot or simply want to reduce the risk of injury, consider upgrading your shoes with a pair of good insoles. They provide extra cushioning in the heel area and help reduce the strain on your feet and joints.
