K-Swiss Express Light 2E Wide Pickleball Shoe - Men's

92Universal Acclaim

Reviewers overwhelmingly praise the K-Swiss Express Light 2E for its excellent fit for wide feet, with many calling it the best wide pickleball shoe they've found and noting exceptional comfort with no break-in period required. The shoe receives consistent praise for its lightweight feel, good court traction, and true-to-size fit, though some reviewers note it may run slightly large. The main drawbacks mentioned are relatively quick sole wear (6-9 months with frequent play), occasional durability issues with sole separation, and some users finding even the wide version not wide enough for extremely wide feet.

Good fit: Good fit for wide foot. Comfortable out of the box. Light and decent support. Heel stays locked down. Choose these over KSwiss tennis shoes. Use for both games.

K-Swiss Pickleball Shoe: This is the best shoe I have tried so far. I’ve bought several pair of competitors shoes. These are by far the most support and most stable. I will buy again

K-Swiss Express Lite Pickleball Shoe: These shoes are extremely comfortable. I require a wide shoe and the EE is perfect. The design is perfect for the game as padding prevents foot pain from aggressive play. Totally pleased !!

K-SWISS Wide: They have a defect that I didn't notice until I had worn them and they started hurting my left foot. Now I am stuck with them. Waste of money.

Great Value : Have had no foot issues since switching to these shoes. Appreciate the wide toe box. Bought a second pair within the first year because the tread wore out sooner than I would have liked but not an issue because these shoes are economical. Overall, great shoes at this price point.

Comfortable and durable: As a serial toe-dragger on the court with wide feet, I'm used to two things: tightness across the top of the shoe, and the sole being worn away under the big toe. An explicit wide size took care of one, and the sole under the toe is as tough as I've seen in any court shoe. Addresses my needs perfectly, 10/10, bought another pair.

Great shoes: My wife and I did a 2 day LevelUp pickleball camp in March where the pros strongly recommended pickleball or tennis or “court” shoes instead of the running shoes we were wearing. What a difference these K-Swiss shoes make!!! Large toe box also with room for my plantar fasciitis custom insoles. I have medium high arch and some insertion Achilles tendinitis which the higher heel really helps with. Nice discount also and paid return if they hadn’t fit well before wearing them outside.

Sole Separation: I have had these shoes about 4 months with plenty tread left but the tread actually separated from the shoe at the heal. This is definitely a defect but I do not think there is any remedy.

Not true to size: The order took too long to get to me and I was disappointed when the show was not true to size. Width is great but the 8.5 size is long. I recommend ordering a size down. I really needed shoes so I ended up wearing them and now I can't return it. Buying a different shoe locally bc I can't find this anywhere near me. Not happy.

Soles wear out quickly: I have bought two pairs. While I find them comfortable the soles where out very quickly, especially in the the toe area. I am looking for a brand that will last longer.

Run small: These were a recommendation from someone that enjoys the pair they own. I normally wear a 11.5 regular and 12 regular were too small, so I had to return them. Unfortunately, DICK’S doesn’t carry them in wide width. Giving a positive star rating as I do not want to penalize the brand for DICK’S not carrying the size I needed.

Best pickleball shoe ever/Great company: I have a wide foot and am not too young. These are extremely comfortable, lightweight and provide maximum mobility on the court. This will be my 4th pair and it seems to be the most popular shoe I have seen on the courts. Additionally, Total Pickleball as a company has been very responsive with shipping, returns and customer service.
