Search “adidas padel shoes” and you’ll get a mix of two different products: shoes adidas built for padel, and tennis shoes that retailers also sell to padel players.
The difference matters. A UK player weighing a Courtquick (£70 RRP, £55.99–62.99 at PDH Sports) against an Adizero Ubersonic 5 (£130 RRP) is comparing a shoe designed for padel’s stop-start lateral movement with a tennis shoe that some retailers also sell for padel.
| Model | RRP | Typical UK price | Built for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Crazyquick Boost | £140 | £99–126 | Padel – regular players wanting cushioning |
| Crazyquick LS | £100 | £90 | Padel – lighter, simpler build |
| Courtquick | £70 | £56–63 | Padel – budget entry point |
| Adizero Ubersonic 5 | £130 | £87–104 | Tennis, also sold to padel players |
RRPs and typical prices were checked at PDH Sports on 17 October 2026 (Ubersonic 5 prices from PDH Sports, £91, and Padel Market UK, £86.99–103.99). Prices vary by colourway and retailer, so it’s worth comparing before you buy.
Padel-specific shoes vs tennis shoes sold into padel
Adidas makes three shoes built specifically for padel: Crazyquick Boost, Crazyquick LS, and Courtquick. Everything else that shows up when you search “adidas padel shoes” – the Adizero Ubersonic, the Barricade, the CourtJam Control – is a tennis shoe; PDH Sports lists all three as tennis shoes, though some retailers sell them as padel shoes.
That doesn’t make them bad shoes, and an Ubersonic will grip and support you well enough for social sessions. The Crazyquick and Courtquick shoes are designed around padel’s demands: constant short lateral bursts and sudden direction changes. If you’re playing twice a week and want a shoe that was designed for exactly that movement pattern, Crazyquick or Courtquick is the more precise choice.
The practical test: if the model name has “Ubersonic,” “Barricade,” or “CourtJam” in it, you’re buying a tennis shoe. If it says “Crazyquick” or “Courtquick,” you’re buying a padel shoe.
Adidas Crazyquick Boost: who it suits, UK price
The Crazyquick Boost is adidas’s top-tier padel shoe, has an RRP of £140, and UK retailers such as PDH Sports list it from about £99 to £126 depending on colourway.
It uses adidas’s energy-returning Boost midsole, paired with a stabilising Slingframe construction and an outsole designed for padel, per PDH Sports. For a player who trains or competes regularly, that combination of cushioning and lateral stability is the point: two-hour sessions three or four times a week put real cumulative load through your knees and ankles.
It suits players who play often enough to feel the difference in cushioning, and who want a shoe that holds its shape through aggressive stop-start movement. If you play once a week and aren’t especially quick around the court, you’re paying for performance you won’t use.
Adidas Crazyquick LS: who it suits, UK price
The Crazyquick LS sits in the middle of the range at an RRP of £100 (typically listed at £89.99), and it’s the shoe most casual UK players should look at first.
It swaps the Boost midsole for a low-profile Lightstrike midsole, with an Adiwear outsole and an Adituff toe, which means less plush cushioning but a shoe that feels quicker underfoot – useful if you value responsiveness over comfort. PDH Sports says it runs true to size.
For a player who trains once or twice a week and wants a proper padel-specific shoe without paying top-tier price, this is the sensible middle option.
Adidas Courtquick: the budget pick, UK price
The Courtquick is the entry point into adidas’s dedicated padel range, has an RRP of £70, and PDH Sports lists most colourways at £56–63.
It uses a Bounce midsole with Cloudfoam padding and keeps the stabilising Slingframe construction from the Crazyquick Boost. For a beginner working out whether padel is a habit or a phase, or a player who just wants a reliable shoe without overthinking it, the Courtquick does the job without asking for £125 or more.
Sole type and UK courts
Most UK padel courts are artificial turf with sand infill, and a padel or herringbone-style outsole is designed to grip that surface. Check the sole of any adidas tennis-crossover shoe before you buy: some “all-court” tennis models use a flatter tread built for hard courts. Our full breakdown of UK sole types covers this in more detail.
