Although this question seems complicated, it is very simple. Just look on the tongue of your padel shoes for the centimeters it measures and take a table of the brand you want to buy and see that the size you choose has the same centimeters as the shoes you currently use. It is that easy to buy your new padel shoes and not make a mistake.

The best padel  shoes on the market correspond to the high ranges manufactured by Asics, Babolat and Joma. You only have to know if you want lighter or heavier padel shoes. In the technical characteristics of the brand's website you can see the weight and size and buy your perfect padel shoes.

Without a doubt, they would be those of the Spanish brand Joma, since they make the best quality-price padel shoes.

To answer this question, all you have to do is know that padel shoes with clay or herringbone soles are valid for both padel and tennis, omni-sole shoes are exclusive for padel and mixed soles are exclusive for tennis.

The ideal is to change padel shoes every 6 months or 1 year. Although if you see that the sole wears out more and you slip, it is advisable to change padel shoes to avoid injuries. If, on the other hand, the material on your shoes breaks, it is also a good time to change.

Only if they have a clay or omni sole, which is exclusive for padel, in the case of a mixed sole it is not recommended, since you can slip more than necessary on the court or have excessive grip and injure yourself.
