SkechersMen's Viper Court-Athletic Indoor Outdoor Pickleball Shoes with Arch Fit Support Sneaker

I originally purchased and wore the K-Swiss pickleball shoes. The K-Swiss felt very toe heavy and like I was wearing lead weights and had zero cushioning between my foot and the soles of the shoe. After a few months of wearing those I had to find something more comfortable and easier on my knees. I prefer light weight running shoes but they wear out quickly on the court surface. I decided to try the Sketchers and am very happy with the comfort and court performance so far. Right away they felt lighter and the arch support and cushioning were considerably better than the K-Swiss which IMO have none of that. I wear a 14 and my shoes are typically big and heavy. While these only came in just under an ounce lighter than the K-Swiss, the weight is more evenly distributed throughout the shoe and they felt much lighter than expected. I can’t speak to longevity but, the price is reasonable and much lower compared to other pickleball shoes I have found online. Certainly less expensive than the K-Swiss which I clearly wouldn’t recommend.Overall I like the look and comfort these provide. These held up and stuck to the tennis court surface just fine with no marking, squeaking or excessive wear that I have read about on other reviews. If I only get a few months out of them so be it. Better than months of extra knee pain and discomfort wearing the K-Swiss. I would recommend these based on my experience and will update if that changes.*** UPDATE*** Played for about a week now, indoor and outdoor. Glad to say the shoes are holding up just fine, no noticeable wear on the soles from the tennis court surface or toes cracking and looking worn out like i saw in another review. They played very well indoor on a basketball court as well. Still would highly recommend.****Update****It’s been about 3-4 months of solid play 2-4 times a week typically 2-5 hours at a time plus one tournament. So far these have held up, no cracks and barely any noticeable wear on the soles and I’ve played the majority of my PB on a newly surfaced tennis court. I’m looking at buying the new version more so for the color and style, these still fit and feel good, just that bright yellow really stands out somedays. Still very much recommended and definitely would recommend over the K-Swiss.

I wear these for pickleball, and I find them very comfortable, especially for someone with high arches. They seem to be standing up well to the wear and tear.

Good and comfortable shoe. Extra wide is questionable though. I'm a true 4E and these are closer to a 2E which in most cases is considered wide fit.

These are the best shoes I've ever bought. I bought them for pickleball but realized how comfort they are for everyday use.

Good fit. Easy on the eyes. Good support on the court.

Right out of the box the most comfortable shoes I've played with. I used to wear inserts (orthotics) for my high arches but these shoes conform and support by simply wearing them. After playing nearly every day on outdoor surfaces these lasted about 4 months. Still usable but showing wear spots on the ball of the foot area. Definitely recommend these. I'm 66 yo and won't go back to any other shoe. However, your mileage may vary!

These shoes are comfortable, and eliminated any soreness in my feet after game play. They have great traction from their GoodYear souls. They look nice, and have a very generous toe box. These would be excellent for people with wider feet. The downside is, because the toe box is so wide, and the strange choice of the rigid vinyl like material just past the laces, you get a crease in the end of the shoe when lacing them up. I have a fairly normal width to my foot, so this issue came as a disappointment. I would say these are decent shoes, but for the price there are better options.

Just received my shoes all the way here in the Philippines took a week to arrive but considering where it came from its quite reasonable. Fits well and comfy seems more stable than a normal running shoes. Will rate somemore after i play pickleball with it. So far so good!

Good value, well built product

Me encantaron

Not a good indoor court shoe..

I usually buy 8 or 8.5 depending on the brand. 8.5wide with added extra inner soul gave a size fit. But this shoe has a design issue at the throat of the shoes. It just does not hug the feet. This will lead to movement of the shoes while playing and is uncomfortable. The construction and quality of the built are really good, it's just the design issue with this model. There are definitely other court shoes in the same price range which are much superior in terms of design and comfort
