UK prices were checked against PDH Sports, Padel Market, Central Sports, Padel HQ, Express Padel and Everything Padel on 18 October 2026.

Padel shoe prices swing hard between colourways and seasons. The same model can sit £30 below RRP in one colour and at full price in another, so check two or three stockists before you pay RRP.
Are padel trainers and padel shoes the same?
Yes. Trainers is the everyday British word for padel shoes, so look for a padel-specific sole built for lateral movement.
The technical detail on sole patterns and when a hybrid earns its keep sits in our padel shoes guide for UK courts. This page stays focused on picks.
What are the best budget padel trainers?
The Adidas Courtquick (RRP £70) and Bullpadel Indiga (RRP £75) are the best budget pairs, usually under £70 and suited to social play.
Adidas Courtquick. PDH Sports lists it at £56–63 against a £70 RRP. It comes in men’s and women’s versions, so it is one of the easiest online buys. Central Sports had the women’s pair at £58.99.
Bullpadel Indiga. PDH Sports lists the 26I at £67.50 against a £75 RRP, in men’s and women’s versions.
What are the best padel trainers for beginners?
Buy the cheapest padel-specific pair that fits well, such as the Adidas Courtquick or Bullpadel Indiga, and upgrade once you know how often you play.
If you are starting from scratch, our padel shoes guide explains why the sole matters more than the brand. A comfortable fit in the first session beats any spec sheet.
Best mid-range padel trainers
Mid-range is where most regular players end up, usually £75 to £110, once the first pair has worn out or a second weekly session appears.
NOX AT10 Pro. RRP £105, with PDH Sports listing men’s and women’s versions at £78.75–94.50 depending on colour. Everything Padel had the black and white pair at £94.99. The AT10 Lux above it costs £114.49 at PDH Sports against a £130 RRP.
Adidas Crazyquick LS. RRP £100 and listed at £89.99 for men’s and women’s at PDH Sports. It sits between the Courtquick and the Crazyquick Boost (RRP £140, £118.80–125.99 at PDH Sports).
Babolat Premura 3. RRP £135, but PDH Sports lists men’s and women’s pairs at £99–108, and Everything Padel had the black and gold pair at £74.99.
If you prefer to compare by brand, we have separate guides to Adidas, Babolat, NOX and ASICS padel shoes.
Best premium padel trainers
Premium trainers make sense at four or five sessions a week. Below that you are paying for durability a casual schedule will not use up.
Bullpadel Hack Vibram 26V. RRP £156–160 depending on the shop. Padel HQ listed it at £103.99, Padel Market at £107.99–108.99 and Express Padel at £114.99. Padel Market sells it as Paquito Navarro’s shoe. The newer 26I version costs £152.99–155.99. PDH Sports describes a reinforced toe of injected compact rubber and calls the shoe ideal for players who use it intensively.
The Bullpadel Vertex Vibram 26V (Juan Tello’s shoe at Padel Market) has the same £160 RRP at PDH Sports, which had one colour at £80; Padel Market listed it at £107.99–108.99. Paying full price is hard to justify unless you play most days.
What are the best women’s padel trainers?
Good women’s picks are the Adidas Courtquick, Bullpadel Performance Comfort, NOX AT10 Pro and Babolat Premura 3, all sold in women’s versions.
Bullpadel Performance Comfort. RRP £90. PDH Sports lists the women’s 26I at £80.99 and had the pink 26V at £45; Central Sports had the 26V at £73.99 and Padel HQ at £71.96. Padel HQ describes a mixed outsole pattern with Bullpadel’s Rotox system for smoother turns.
Adidas Courtquick (women’s). The same £70 RRP as the men’s pair, at £58.99–62.99 at Central Sports and PDH Sports.
Babolat Premura 3 (women’s). RRP £135, listed at about £99–101.
A heel that lifts during side steps is the classic sign you are in the wrong last. Our women’s padel shoes guide covers fit in more depth, and the men’s guide does the same for the other side.
Can you wear tennis trainers for padel?
Clay court tennis shoes work, because they share the herringbone sole padel needs. Hard court tennis shoes grip less on sanded turf and wear faster.
Several tennis brands also make padel-specific models: ASICS and K-Swiss padel shoes are both listed at PDH Sports, and Everything Padel stocks the K-Swiss Express Light 3. Buy the padel version when one exists, because the sole is designed for turf.
Best padel trainers for wide feet
Most padel shoes fit snugly, so wide-footed players should try before buying. Fit varies between models within a brand: PDH Sports describes the Bullpadel Hack Vibram as wider in the toe box than other Bullpadel models, but we found no source saying the whole Bullpadel range runs narrow or wide. Our Bullpadel padel shoes guide covers the range model by model.
Whatever you choose, buy from a stockist with a free returns policy and check sizing notes in the reviews. Getting the fit wrong costs more than the £20 you save on a cheaper pair. Half a size up helps some players, but test it with the socks you play in.
How long do padel trainers last?
Many weekly players replace a pair after a season or two. The toe and outsole wear first, so replace them once the tread smooths off.
Lunges, sudden stops and push-offs load the toe and the same edge of the sole every session, which is why a reinforced toe is worth paying for once you play three or more times a week. Grip fades gradually, so check the tread now and then before it lets you down.
Where to buy padel trainers in the UK
PDH Sports, Padel Market, Everything Padel, Padel Shack, Express Padel, Padel HQ and All Things Padel all stock a spread of brands. Central Sports, a multi-sport racket shop, lists Adidas, Bullpadel and Wilson padel shoes. Compare at least two before buying, because discounts differ by colourway. Decathlon sells its own Kuikma padel shoes, but its UK website blocked our checks, so we couldn’t confirm current models or prices; our Decathlon padel shoes guide explains what we could verify.
