If you’ve worn Mizuno running shoes or tennis trainers, you already know the brand’s cushioning. Mizuno also makes a padel-specific range, and UK shops sell it alongside the more familiar Adidas, ASICS and Bullpadel shoes.

Mizuno doesn’t have one flagship padel shoe. It has two model families, an entry model, and full prices from £75 to £140. Here’s how to work out which one is yours.

Mizuno’s padel shoe range explained

On 18 October 2026, Mizuno’s UK site listed five padel shoes: the Wave Enforce Court 2 and Wave Enforce Tour 2, the Wave Exceed Court and Wave Exceed Tour 7, and the entry-level Break Shot 5.

The Wave Enforce line is built around stability and cushioning. Mizuno says the Tour 2 uses a flat sole and an outrigger, which widens the base of the shoe, “to support rotational movement”, plus a Dyna-Heel Lock for fit around the heel. The Court 2 carries the same flat sole and outrigger at a mid-range price. Mizuno UK listed the Court 2 at £95 and the Tour 2 at £140 (on sale at £112).

The Wave Exceed line is Mizuno’s lighter, speed-focused family. Mizuno calls the Exceed Court “the lightweight & speed model”, with the same sole design as its top model and a focus on the first step and accurate footwork. Mizuno UK listed the Exceed Court at £110 (on sale at £88), in men’s and women’s versions, and the Tour 7 at £130–£140.

Below both families, Mizuno says the Break Shot 5 Padel is for players “ready to make their court debut”, with a light weight, flat sole, high flexibility and a more relaxed last than the previous model. Its full price is £75, and Mizuno UK had it at £37.50 on 18 October 2026.

Colourways change often, and some models come in more than one sole. Padel Nuestro UK lists the Wave Enforce, Wave Exceed and Break Shot in separate padel and clay-court (CC) versions, and the Exceed Court in an all-court (AC) version as well. For padel, pick the version labelled “Padel”. Apart from the sole, a colour change on the same model is the same shoe underneath.

What Wave technology means on a padel court

Mizuno describes Wave as a midsole technology that “provides both cushioning and stability”: its wave shape absorbs and disperses the impact when your foot lands, for a smoother, more cushioned feel.

On a padel court, that matters for different reasons than it does on a running track. You aren’t repeating the same forward stride. You’re stopping short, changing direction and loading through your knee and ankle on drop shots and defensive retrievals. That is why the padel models pair the Wave midsole with a flat sole and, on the Enforce shoes, an outrigger for a wider, steadier base.

The outsole matters too. Shop for the padel-sole version of each model, since the clay-court and all-court versions are sold under the same names. If you’ve read our breakdown of what matters in a padel shoe, you’ll know sole pattern matters as much as cushioning when it comes to grip: a shoe with great cushioning and the wrong outsole for your court surface is still the wrong shoe.

Mizuno says the Enforce Tour 2’s outsole has about 16% more resistance to wear than its other products. That’s Mizuno’s own figure, and it matters most for players who wear through the front of a shoe quickly from lunges and sudden stops.

UK pricing and where to buy

Mizuno’s own UK site (emea.mizuno.com) carries the current range in GBP: Break Shot 5 £75 (on sale at £37.50), Wave Enforce Court 2 £95, Wave Exceed Court £110 and the two Tour shoes at £130–£140, all checked on 18 October 2026.

Two UK-facing shops had a wide spread of Mizuno padel stock that day:

  • Padel Nuestro UK listed 85 Mizuno shoe products, with padel versions such as the Break Shot 5 from £43.90, Wave Enforce Court from £59.12 and Wave Enforce Tour 2 from £84.47.
  • Tennis-Point had the Wave Exceed Court and Wave Exceed Tour 7 Padel from £74.90 and the Wave Enforce Tour 2 Padel at £97.90.

Previous-generation models turn up at a discount too: Padel Nuestro UK had the Wave Exceed Tour 6 Padel at £80.24. If you’re buying on a discount, check which generation you’re getting and that it’s the padel-sole version before you compare the price with another brand’s full-price shoe.

How Mizuno compares to ASICS

Mizuno and ASICS are both Japanese sports brands with padel-specific shoe ranges, and we’ve covered ASICS’s padel line separately.

ASICS has the bigger padel range at UK shops. On 18 October 2026, PDH Sports, Tennis-Point and Padel Market listed the Gel-Resolution X Padel, Gel-Challenger 15 Padel, Solution Speed FF 3 and Solution Swift FF 2, Sonicsmash FF, Gel-Game FF and Gel-Dedicate padel shoes. That runs from about £42 for a Gel-Dedicate 8 at Tennis-Point to £140 for the Gel-Resolution X. Both brands had padel shoes under £60 on sale that day.

Mizuno’s range is smaller and more clearly split by playing style: Wave Enforce for stability, Wave Exceed for speed, plus the Break Shot 5 to start with. If you’re not sure whether you want a stability shoe or a speed shoe, Mizuno’s two-family split makes you think about your own game before you buy, which is a useful question to answer if you’re newer to padel.
