Pickleball Shoe Sizing Guide & FAQ
Pickleball Shoe Sizing FAQ
General Sizing Questions
Q: How do pickleball shoes typically fit compared to regular athletic shoes?
A: Most of our pickleball shoes fit true to size and align with standard athletic shoe sizing. However, we recommend checking the specific product page for each model, as some styles (like our Wide-Fit options) are designed with extra room for comfort.
Q: Should I size up or down for pickleball shoes?
A: We recommend ordering your normal athletic shoe size. Pickleball shoes should fit snugly but comfortably, with about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe. If you're between sizes, we suggest sizing up for better comfort during long matches.
Q: Do you offer wide-fit pickleball shoes?
A: Yes! We carry several wide-fit options including the DinkShot II (White) and ProShot models, which are specifically designed for players who need extra width and toe box room.
Men's vs Women's vs Unisex Sizing
Q: What's the difference between men's, women's, and unisex pickleball shoes?
A: Women's shoes (like the Dreamshot and Corrine Signature) are built on a women's-specific last with a narrower heel and different arch support. Unisex shoes work for all players and typically follow men's sizing. Women ordering unisex shoes should generally size down 1.5-2 sizes from their usual women's size.
Q: I'm a woman interested in a unisex model. What size should I order?
A: As a general guide, subtract 1.5-2 sizes from your women's shoe size. For example, if you wear a women's US 9, you'd typically order a unisex US 7-7.5. Check the specific product page for detailed conversion charts.
Fit & Comfort
Q: How should pickleball shoes feel when I first try them on?
A: Your shoes should feel snug but not tight, with no heel slippage when you walk. Your toes should have enough room to wiggle slightly, and there should be no pressure points. Remember that pickleball shoes don't require a break-in period like some athletic shoes.
Q: My feet swell during long matches. Should I account for this?
A: Yes! If you experience foot swelling during play, consider sizing up by half a size, or choose one of our models with better ventilation like the ProShot (Black) or ClearShot series, which help keep feet cooler.
Q: I have wide feet. Which models do you recommend?
A: We specifically recommend our Wide-Fit models: DinkShot II (White) and ProShot (Royal). These provide extra width in the toe box and midfoot for maximum comfort.
Size Conversions
Q: Do you provide international size conversions?
A: Yes! Each product page includes a detailed size chart with AU, US, UK, and EU sizing conversions. If you need assistance with conversions, please contact our team.
Q: I normally wear a different size in different brands. Which should I use?
A: We recommend using your most recent athletic or court shoe size as a reference. If you're unsure, measure your foot length in centimeters and compare it to our size charts on individual product pages.

Q: What if the shoes don't fit when they arrive?
A: We offer hassle-free returns and exchanges on unworn shoes in original condition. Please refer to our Returns Policy for full details. We're here to help you find the perfect fit!
