K-Swiss Express Light Pickleball Shoe - Men's

93Universal Acclaim

The K-Swiss Express Light Pickleball Shoe receives overwhelmingly positive reviews for its lightweight design, comfort right out of the box, and excellent court traction, with many reviewers calling it their favorite pickleball shoe and purchasing multiple pairs. The shoe fits true to size for most users and provides good lateral support and stability during play. The main drawbacks are durability concerns with the sole wearing out quickly (typically 3-6 months for frequent players) and the shoe running narrow, causing fit issues for players with 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 Express Light Pickleball Shoe : Perfect fit for my average shaped size 10 feet. Light weight and good grip and support. Little break-in required, and the shoes do not over heat even after a 3 hour play session.

K-Swiss Pickleball Shoe: The shoe is very comfortable and helped with my corn on my little toe. This is my second pair. Only thing that stinks about the shoe is the sole. The tread wears away so fast. I play 3-4 days a week and the tread is almost gone 1 1/2 months of playing.

Pickle ball shoe: The shoe is very stiff and has very little cushion. I’ve had both knees replaced and I play pickle ball 3-4 times a week with no issues. I’ve been using a running shoe, Hoka. After 3 days playing last week, for the first time I experienced knee pain to the point I had to ice them a couple of times a day and do very little activity. After three days rest, I’ve played two days in a row, back in my Hoka and have no issues. The impact on the knee is just too much with the pickle ba

Not durable for hard court play: These wear very quickly on hard courts. Only getting about 8 weeks play before thru holes appear and need replaced. Playing 2-3 times per week. Comfortable but not worth the cost.

Comfort, abrasive: Great shoe overall. One design flaw though. The liner at top, surrounding the ankle is coarse. Because I wear a low ankle height sock, first time use caused raw abrasions inside, front of both ankles within 15 minutes. Never happened with any other product.

Tread wear is horrible: Comfortable, but the tread wear is awful. They lasted me ~8 weeks before the tread was so worn that there was a hole in the bottom of one of the shoes. Ridiculous for ~$100 shoe. Pickleball Central should not be selling these shoes IMO.

Love the look: First true pickleball shoe that i have owned. Right now a bit tight as i have wide foot, but I am sure they will break in. Like how easy it is to move on the court
