I originally purchased and wore the K-Swiss pickleball shoes. The K-Swiss felt very toe heavy and like I was wearing lead weights and had zero cushioning between my foot and the soles of the shoe. After a few months of wearing those I had to find something more comfortable and easier on my knees. I prefer light weight running shoes but they wear out quickly on the court surface. I decided to try the Sketchers and am very happy with the comfort and court performance so far. Right away they felt lighter and the arch support and cushioning were considerably better than the K-Swiss which IMO have none of that. I wear a 14 and my shoes are typically big and heavy. While these only came in just under an ounce lighter than the K-Swiss, the weight is more evenly distributed throughout the shoe and they felt much lighter than expected. I can’t speak to longevity but, the price is reasonable and much lower compared to other pickleball shoes I have found online. Certainly less expensive than the K-Swiss which I clearly wouldn’t recommend. Overall I like the look and comfort these provide. These held up and stuck to the tennis court surface just fine with no marking, squeaking or excessive wear that I have read about on other reviews. If I only get a few months out of them so be it. Better than months of extra knee pain and discomfort wearing the K-Swiss. I would recommend these based on my experience and will update if that changes. *** UPDATE*** Played for about a week now, indoor and outdoor. Glad to say the shoes are holding up just fine, no noticeable wear on the soles from the tennis court surface or toes cracking and looking worn out like i saw in another review. They played very well indoor on a basketball court as well. Still would highly recommend. ****Update**** It’s been about 3-4 months of solid play 2-4 times a week typically 2-5 hours at a time plus one tournament. So far these have held up, no cracks and barely any noticeable wear on the soles and I’ve played the majority of my PB on a newly surfaced tennis court. I’m looking at buying the new version more so for the color and style, these still fit and feel good, just that bright yellow really stands out somedays. Still very much recommended and definitely would recommend over the K-Swiss. Read more
Love these shoes!!!! I play pickleball 3-4 time a week and these are the best for comfort and durability over the other popular brands I've owned. They're light weight, have great arch support, and the Good Year soles last a very long time. They're almost true to size but I prefer these shoes 1/2 size larger. For the price you cannot go wrong.

These shoes are extremely comfortable. However, within 1-2 months, the bottom sole started to have extreme wear. By month 3, a two inch section of the sole is now exposed. I play pickleball 2-4 times a week, so I am sure I am mainly to blame for the excess wear. However, I feel these shoes should be slightly more affordable being that I wore $35 under armor tennis shoes that lasted just as long. Read more

I LOVE these Skechers! My tired old feet LOVE them too so; Yay for an unbelievable price for such good looking Skechers! Yay for Amazon's fast delivery and thanks for always following my delivery instructions. Read more
It is what it is. the shoe is ok, the laces are cheap/poor quality, the color is terrible. So why did I not return them? Availability of my size in other more suitable colors was poor, and they prices were substantially higher. Prices seem inflated most likely due to the tariffs paid by the importer. Read more
