Skechers Viper Court Pro ($125)
When you find a brand you like, others just won't do the trick. If you're a Skechers lover, you'll want to opt for the Viper Court Pro, Gainor says. Upon switching to these Skechers she's "experienced a noticeable reduction in knee and leg discomfort" when playing. (This is likely due to the podiatrist-designed insoles.) Another reason this shoe gets top billing is the Goodyear rubber outsoles that offer enhanced traction for both indoor and outdoor court play.
What reviewers say: Consider these the Goldilocks shoe for support. "There is a large amount of support and the sole of the shoe allows the foot to be planted firmly without causing undo stress on the plantar surface," says one pickleball player.
Why we love them: They are machine washable, so whether you're playing indoors or outdoors, you'll be able to clean your sneaks with the press of a button.
What to keep in mind: Some customers have found the shoes to run a little large so consider sizing down.
