High-Durability Vibram® Outsole
Vibram® is the world leader in rubber outsole manufacturing and we have collaborated with them on our outsole design. They have formulated an X Abrade compound specific to use on painted silica grit treated pickleball courts to ensure performance grip, stability, and durability.
Lightweight Material
Our removable insole is EVA base with Nylex top. EVA is a lightweight cushioning material. The insole has holes in the arch area to allow for breathability and flow-through ventilation.
Heel Stabilizer
The heel stabilizer is designed to give lateral stability to the player. We use a sculpted last during the construction of our shoes that creates a curved heel. This curved heel sets your foot snuggly into the back of the shoe and provides correct alignment to prevent an ankle rollover.
Power Clip
The Power Clip is the name for the rubber toe bumper that moves up to the medial side of the shoe to add support for stepping into your shot. It also gives toe draggers more support at the toe and medial side of the shoe.
Torsion Control Shank
We built a torsion control shank to provide lateral stability and support to prevent rolling an ankle in the quick side to side movement of pickleball.
Generously Wide Toe Box
The kinetic movement in pickleball is a start and stop forward action sport with quick lateral short step movement. For this reason, we have used a wide toe box both in width and height to prevent toe injury that is prevalent in the sport.
Breathability
Open weave mesh nylon upper and aerated insole and midsole offer excellent flow through ventilation.
Comfort
Our EVA Midsole material compound and removable insole provide the perfect blend of comfort and performance.
Stability
The EVA midsole works with TPU shank to provide a stable playing platform and prevents ankle roll over.
Support
Vibram Chevron tread design outsole provides directional traction for quick movement on the court. The rear contoured exterior heel counter adds excellent support.
