Shoes from padel. There are all colors, for all types of players, with more or less grip and especially at all prices. And we have to admit that when we invest over $ 100 in a pair of shoes, it is quite annoying to see them go to shreds after just a month. So what to do so that the life time of your shoes padel elongates ?

To make it easy to understand, I take the example of football players. Although they are dressed for training or games, they do not leave home with their crampons on their feet.

For players of padel, I would say the same. Shoes from padel are designed for land padel and not elsewhere. The wave or spiked sole wears very quickly on contact with concrete or asphalt. So take your shoes out of your bag padel, there is often a dedicated space. In this way you will extend the life of the sole.

Open the shoes well. The idea is when you do not play, to loose the shoes as much as possible. They will return to their original form and above all let more air inside facilitate drying.

Do not leave them in your bag. When you get home, take out your shoes and let them breathe.

Finally, do not wash them in the washing machine. When dirty, tap them together to dust them off and use a soft brush.

Acting in this way, instead of buying a pair every 2 or 3 mid-range month, you will be able to claim a high-end shoe, better for your game and holding your foot.
