✓ Upper made of synthetic PET fibre
✓ Tongue, lining and insole

Dynawall™ technology
Reinforcement in the side of the shoe to help improve stability when moving sideways. This technology allows players to move around the court in complete safety, even when making fast, unpredictable movements.
Wingwall technology
Updated for better support based on the new Dynawall™ design for sideways movements.
AHAR + technology
Ahar+ is a special layer of (durable) rubber that resists abrasion. That's why you'll find this material in the most critical areas of the sole. So you can count on this pair to last a long time, come what may. The (+) variant is up to 50% more resistant than the standard Ahar sole.
How to choose your padel shoes
Padel shoes can make a big impact on performance. When choosing yours, you'll want to consider the following details: comfort (foot length and shoe size, materials, etc.); cushioning (technologies that provide good cushioning, such as Asics Gel); stability (laces, fabric at the ankle to keep your foot from slipping); traction (robust outsole); and durability.
GEL technology
The strategically placed gel at the front and back of the foot reduces impacts (at the heel) for a smoother stride. The gel at the forefoot also reduces impacts when moving forward. The main benefits of this technology are: Comfort, stability and cushioning.
EVA technology
Flexible, lightweight foam often used in the midsole of footwear for its good cushioning qualities and comfort.
"Asics Insole - Made For Padel" technology
Insoles made of polyurethane - in short, a foam membrane that wicks away perspiration and better absorbs impacts. It provides a lightweight shoe with excellent breathability and optimal cushioning.
Outsole tread pattern: herringbone
This sole is also called wavy or clay court tread. You can recognize it by its wave design. This is the most popular sole among regular padel players due to its good traction and its ability to slide well on the court. It's also incredibly durable and perfect for playing on synthetic turf or sand.
