I've purchased lots of pickleball shoes over the years but my Sketchers are the best shoes for two reasons. The arch support is total comfort and the Goodyear Gold outsole doesn't seem to wear out which is truly amazing since I play almost daily 🤪

Leagues require Franklin X-40 so use the best from the beginning.

I love Sketchers but New Balance pickleball shoes are another brand I use on the court. They provide comfort and a wide two-bed for that side to side action. You need more than one pair of shoes if you play this sport regularly.
