K-SwissMen's Express Light Pickleball Shoe

Great looks, sized correct and comfortable. But one huge negative, they come with glued in insoles that have zero arch support. How on earth is there a performance court shoe made that does not have a removable insole? There is not enough space to put a Superfeet insole in them, I suppose I could rip out the original, but why should I have to do that?I cannot recommend these shoes for any serious court play.

I'd worn K-Swiss tennis shoes for years and really liked them So it seemed a no brainer to purchase a pair of the new S-Swiss pickleball shoes. Alas, the sizing is not the same. My new pair of 8 !/2 K-Swiss pickleball shoes hurt my feet every time I wore them for about 5 times. I adjusted the tension in the laces to no avail. Just could not play in these shoes without hurting my feet. Just seemed as if the width was not the same as with K-Swiss tennis shoes.Tried to return them. But to no real avail. The company which sells them won't accept shoes that have been worn, nor shoes not returned in their original box without at least a 50% penalty. So two weeks after receiving these shoes I m stuck with a new pair of $100 K-Swiss pickleball shoes that hurt my feet in a way I could not have detected without first wearing and playing in them. I'm 75 years old and have never encountered shoe issues such as this. Won't be doing business with this company again.

These are exactly what I was looking for. Lightweight, similar to indoor court shoes, nice looking and probably perfect for outdoor pickleball. Unfortunately I need a 2E width and they were a bit too tight. I did order a 1/2 size larger as advised but still not enough. The heal was a bit loose so going another 1/2 size would be too sloppy. Why doesn't anyone else sell wide except New Balance?

I bought these shoes about 4 months ago but our courts were closed for a month due to Covid so they really have about 3 months of use. I play about 5 or 6 times per week on outdoor courts. Also, the shoes are only worn on the courts; I put them on when I get to the courts and take them off before leaving.As you can see in the photos the soles are quite worn especially the left one (I play left handed). Additionally, the fabric in the upper has started to fray and has developed a small hole. Lastly, the upper has begun to delaminate from the sole on the outside of the toe box on the left shoe.I will be looking for a different brand of shoe.

I bought these shoes because of articles I read that specifically rated these as the best for pickleball. What a disappointment!Within half an hour of playing in them, my feet were numb. I loosened the laces to where my feet were sliding in the shoe and they still made feet numb. I tried them the following day, thinking that maybe they were just stiff the first day... same thing. In any case, I paid nearly a hundred dollars for shoes that I can't use and can't return, because I used them outside.Don't waste your money!

Update: my original review still stands. However, I recently played an evening of pickleball and these shoes performed pretty well. Lots or stopping power and tons of grip for pivots. Even with a half a shoe size larger than I normally wear, my feet were secure in these shoes. I'm looking forward to lots of future time on the court with them.I’ve seen a few reviews that suggest going a half size larger than you typically wear and I think that’s about right if you have a wide foot (which I do). You definitely wouldn’t want to go smaller.The front of the toe box is generous, and especially so wearing a half size larger. The heel does seem to slip a bit during my stride, but lateral movements and front stopping movements seem well planted. I may try wearing larger wool socks. But I don’t know how much that will help given it’s really snug around the ball of the foot.I haven’t yet completely broken them in yet. So, they may yet settle in. My hope is when that does happen, the heel slippage goes away.In terms of looks, these are pretty sharp looking shoes. I could see myself wearing them to the gym or really anywhere in place of sneakers. I primarily purchased them for pickleball/racquet sports, but they are attractive enough for casual use, too.

I had worn K-Swiss tennis shoes for years using the Glaciator 7.0 which was the best tennis shoe I'd ever worn. Well they quit making it and I struggled finding a replacement for years. This shoe finally fills that void. It is the best fitting and more comfortable shoe that I have tried in years!! These are very stable and a bit wider for better support with side to side movement. Support and balance are excellent!! Would highly recommend this shoe.Saw a review where they complain about the glued in insert. Well that comes right out if you pull it a little then your normal orthotic can be slipped right in. If you size these shoes properly 90% of the complaints would be eliminated!

Excellent new shoe designed for pickelball. Fit is excellent and support is solid. I do wish the shoe had a bit more cushion, but I'm personally a bit extreme in that regard. Great looking shoe as well in grey and blue. Definitely one of the top 3 shoes I've tried so far for pickleball.
