Tyrol Striker-V Pro Series Pickleball Shoe ($129)
Chances are, if you have your own pickleball paddle and setup, you're ready to invest in the best shoes — and that definitely comes from a brand made for the sport. As Rieker puts it, "Tyrol is not just a court shoe, but a pickleball shoe exclusively." The outsole and midsole are designed to offer stability to specific movements in pickleball, such as fast moves left, right, forward, and back. Similarly, the toe guard at the front is provided to help prevent ankle rollover from quick stoppages.
What reviewers say: Not only is the shoe sturdy and good for wide feet, but it's also breathable. "LOVE LOVE LOVE the wide and deep toe box! Three hours of play in Sacramento CA summer temps and still no overheating of my feet," says one Pickleball athlete.
Why we love them: Unlike most of the other shoes on here which can double for volleyball or tennis, these are *solely* made for pickleball.
What to keep in mind: Aside from the price, some customers say the long laces are a pain point.
