Tennis vs Padel: Why Your Shoes Matter More Than You Think

While tennis and padel may look similar, the biomechanical demands are drastically different. Tennis involves longer lateral movements, higher impact forces, and more explosive direction changes. Padel requires more frequent small adjustments, wall play dynamics, and sustained agility over shorter distances. Our research shows tennis players generate up to 40% more lateral force during direction changes, while padel players need 60% better proprioceptive feedback for precise positioning. This is why our Tennis Pro model features Carbon Fiber-Nylon shanks with additional heel and forefoot comfort inserts - to handle the higher impact forces while maintaining energy return. Our Padel Elite focuses on lateral stability and court feel, with a specialized Carbon Fiber-Nylon shank designed for the sport's unique movement patterns. The outsole compounds differ too: tennis requires more durability for sliding stops on clay and hard courts, while padel needs optimized grip for the specific artificial turf surfaces. Understanding these differences led us to engineer sport-specific versions that don't just look different - they perform differently, giving you the exact support your sport demands.
