Jet Premura 2
RRP €155
If you like Babolat’s award-winning Jet Premura padel shoe
then you’ll probably love the Jet Premura 2, which retains all the
great features of the original but with improved breathability
and comfort. The new model has two large ventilation areas
on the sides, a new ‘micro-perforated’ insole that absorbs
perspiration, and small vents near the arch. The new features
are designed to reduce overheating and friction points.
Babolat also worked with Michelin to create what it believes
is the ‘best possible’ sole especially developed for padel,
ensuring great grip and stability.
padel shoes
Lotto Superrapida
RRP £130
Lotto believes it has ‘category-killing’ padel
shoes in its Superrapida men’s and women’s
ranges, which have a specially developed
tread pattern of studs cut 30% deeper than
normal clay court treads to ensure stability
and traction on court. Couple this with a longlasting
rubber compound for high abrasion
resistance, plus cushioning and breathability,
and Lotto says the shoes embody the
pinnacle of its technologies.
Head Motion Pro
RRP £135
A padel shoe designed in conjunction with Mondo, the
official surface supplier of the World Padel Tour? That’ll be
the new Head Motion Pro, which is billed as the ‘first ever
100% pure padel shoe’. Head engineers worked with Mondo
to develop a unique grip pattern for the cutting-edge Motion
Pro’s sole, and with padel players to design a shoe that
delivers all-round stability and support coupled with high
comfort levels and breathability. The result is a shoe that
grips, has reinforced sidewalls to manage lateral stability
and help prevent ‘roll-over’ plus a rounded shape to support
multi-directional movement.
“Padel is all about explosive movement and that’s what
Motion Pro was built for,” says Head. “The sole pattern is
proven to give measurably superior grip to a tennis shoe
and it gives incredible levels of 360° stability and support
thanks to our lateral control+ technology that stops rolling
over during the extreme moves that padel demands.”
