FAQs

While running shoes are optimized for forward motion and tennis shoes cater to the specific demands of tennis, neither is ideally suited for the unique movements in pickleball. Pickleball requires quick lateral movements, sudden stops, and rapid pivots, necessitating footwear that provides specialized support and traction. Wearing shoes not designed for these actions can increase the risk of injury and may hinder performance.​

The PB5 Court2 shoe is considered light-weight. They weigh 11.1 ounces for a women's size 7 and 12.9 ounces for a men's size 10. Please note, weights may vary slightly across different sizes.​

The PB5 Court2 shoe features a heel-to-toe drop of 5 millimeters (mm). Heel drop refers to the difference in height between the heel and the forefoot of the shoe. In running shoes, heel drops typically range from 0 mm (zero drop) to 14 mm, with 10 mm being the most common. The PB5 Court2's 5 mm heel drop positions it in the low to moderate range, offering a closer-to-the-ground feel. This can enhance stability during lateral movements, which are frequent in sport like pickleball.

Why is heel drop important? Heel drop influences foot positioning and movement mechanics:​

  • Promotes a more natural foot position, encouraging midfoot or forefoot striking. This can enhance balance and proprioception but may increase strain on the Achilles tendon.

  • ​Offers a balance between natural foot positioning and cushioning, suitable for athletes seeking versatility.​

  • Provides additional heel cushioning, beneficial for those who heel strike or require extra support, but may reduce
    ground feel.​

For court sports, a moderate heel drop like that of the PB5 Court2 can offer an optimal mix of stability for lateral movements and sufficient cushioning for comfort.

Pickleball involves quick lateral movements, rapid stops, and constant changes in direction—demands that general athletic or running shoes aren’t designed to support.

A pickleball-specific shoe, like the PB5 Court2, is engineered with proper traction, lateral stability, and court-ready cushioning. This means better support during play and enhanced overall performance on the court.

Ankle Sprains: Occurs when ligaments supporting the ankle are overstretched or torn, often due to rapid lateral movements.​

Achilles Tendinitis: Inflammation of the Achilles tendon, typically resulting from repetitive stress or sudden increases in activity.

Knee Strains: Involves overstretching or tearing of muscles or tendons around the knee, often due to abrupt movements.​

While precise statistics on the percentage of pickleball injuries directly attributed to improper footwear are limited, it's widely acknowledged that inadequate shoes can contribute to injury risk.

Note: This information is for educational purposes and should not replace professional medical advice.

Yes, absolutely. With our 30-Day Match-Fit Promise, you can take your PB5 Court2 shoes for a real test—on the court, in a match, or during practice.

If they don’t feel right for any reason within 30 days of purchase, you can return them—even if you’ve worn them during play.

We want you to feel completely confident when choosing our shoes, and that means giving you time to truly experience the fit, performance, and comfort firsthand. No stress. Just solid support.

    Great All-Around Shoe On and Off the Court

    Title says it all - I bought and use these shoes for both on and off the court. Not only do they look pretty sweet, but they’re very comfortable too. As someone who values stability and comfort in a shoe, these check both of those boxes.

    To anyone with a wider foot like mine, 1/2 a size up from a running shoe works perfect and fits snug. Great shoe by a great brand - Will be buying another pair soon!

    I’m in love!

    Most comfortable and stylish court shoe!

    I wear these to play tennis and they’re great! Cushy comfortable, great arch support, lightweight and sturdy at the same time. All my opponents have asked about them.

    Would highly recommend this purchase.

    Great foot support for the court!

    I’ve only played Pickleball a few times and played in my regular tennis shoes. I wasn’t sure I needed specific court shoes, but thought I’d give them a try as I keep hearing about people getting hurt playing. They were awesome! I felt stable and supported no matter what move I made on the court and never worried about skidding or rolling over on my ankle. I am throughly impressed and can’t recommend them enough. And they are great looking on top of it all!
