I’d love to win this paddle as I enjoy my 14 mm paddles like the Vatic Pro carbon flash and the DBD Control 14, but the Kevlar tech is appealing while still maintaining the usual benefits of a 14mm paddle
Sorry. If you're a new brand of shoes, $150 retail ($135 after discount) is a no go. That's the same price as flagship shoes from established brands that provide a 6 month outsole warranty and for which you can find many reviews online. If you're a new shoe company you should be coming in <=$100 retail until you have proven your shoe can compete at the premium price level and then in future release years/models you can increase the price. At $150 this brand will likely go belly up in a year or two cuz no one is going to take the risk at this price.
They’re all powerful, but the shapes do have an affect on plow-through. I would suggest going with the shape you prefer and not worry as much as to which one is the most powerful.
Show reviews too?! You just have all the essentials for us to thrive out here! I never thought about a second pair to alternate in between shoes with. Appreciate the video!
I like your suggestion of alternating PB shoes. I would like to have an extra pair to help with the rotation of my PB shoes. Hoping to win a pair of P-38 🙏🏻
I have owned several different pickleball shoes and the soles have only lasted around 3 months. I'm not impressed with PB specific shoes and was advised to get tennis shoes instead and the soles will last longer. Also one first started playing PB I had a pair of babolat tennis shoes and they lasted twice as long as any PB specific shoes that I have owned. So would love to try a pair of these and see if they stand up and last longer than other PB specific shoes I've owned. 🏓
I have been playing in a pair of Mizuno volleyball shoes. These sound like a great upgrade for me. I’d love to win a pair! Thanks for another great review!!
Matthew, thx for the great video, very helpful in choosing a pickleball shoe. After trying literally over a dozen different pairs over the last year, I would be thrilled to try a pair of Winners Edge P-38s... it sounds like someone finally got it right. 😊👍👍
Currently have the Babolat Mach 3’s and my soles are starting to wear down thin, been looking for new shoes and so grateful you posted this review! Can’t wait to try em on!
Thank you for the review. These shoes sound great and I'd like to try them. I recently tore my calf muscle playing, and I think shoes may have played a part, so I'm looking for ones better for short bursts of speed for when I'm healthy enough to play again.
I have a pair of ASICS Solution Speed FF (first generation) that is wearing out. That's why I want a pair of this P-38. 😎 I just have to ask Gemini about this since I've not heard about P-38 before and this was what I was told: Pros: Stability and Support: The P-38 is designed with a focus on ankle stability, important for the quick starts and stops required in pickleball. A wide midsole and a stable platform in the heel are said to help prevent ankle rolling. Comfort: A neoprene sock liner and removable Ortholite insole are designed for comfort, and users report that the shoe feels good on their feet. Durability: The P-38 is made with high-quality materials and a durable outsole that should hold up well to regular use on pickleball courts. Wide toe box: Many users find the wider toe box to be more comfortable than other pickleball shoes. Opens in a new window wepickleball.com Winners Edge P38 Lightning pickleball shoe Cons: Bulkier feel: Because of the emphasis on stability, the P-38 may feel a bit bulkier than some other pickleball shoes. Limited availability: Winners Edge is a relatively new company, and their shoes may not be available in all sporting goods stores. Aesthetics: Some users find the aesthetics of the shoe to be a bit divisive, with the word "pickleball" printed on the side.
I definitely would like a pair of shoes that have durable treads. I enjoyed my Asics Gel-9's, but they went bald after 3-5 months of play. Thanks for spotlighting this shoe!
I’ve been wanting to get me some court shoes for a while now and I’d love to give these a shot. I like the high stability factor and ankle support. Thanks for the review!
These sound like some top quality shoes. Too bad they do not come in wide widths. Thankfully I've found the Skechers Viper Court Pros and Kswiss Hypercourt 2 Express 2 both come in wide widths that are very comfortable. I highly recommend those to anyone with wide feet. Especially the Viper Court pros. The arch support is beyond comfortable and I can't think about how bad a court would have to be to rough up the treads. Would love if more companies helped out us wide feet players.
Thanks for the suggestions! I will say I sometimes wear wide shoes, and I think these had a good fit for me. But def hard to speculate. Everyone’s feet are so different!
If you’re new to pickleball, I would start with the non-Kevlar version and go with the carbon fiber J3. MATTHEWKSALE will save you $5 while it’s on super sale right now, so it’s a crazy good deal at the moment as well. 🎉
My feet deserves the comfort and stability. I recently rolled my ankle playing singles in PB. Hopefully these winners edge shoe would help to prevent that.
Have been playing there sport for the last 5 months and I’m hooked on it. Currently I’m using my old basketball shoes and they’re definitely heavier than I would like. Just want to win them to have the right shoes for me to get better at pickleball.
I want to try to see if this will be better for my Achilles tendon, as I have a tendency to overstretch them when playing pb. Thanks for reviewing them.
pickleball shoes absolutely elevate your game, coming from someone who started playing in running shoes. correct, tennis shoes are a bit 'bulker' in their padding and construction while PB shoes will retain the padded heal and substantial toebox but lose weight by having a lighter midsole and less superfluous padding. I have the jetmach 3s. very well made. the stock insole is not so great so i use the move gameday pros. its a great shoe for singles. for doubles i switch off between it and the Skechers Viper Pro -which might be my favorite as I find they play slightly lighter than the jetmachs and are slightly better fitting/comfy for my wider foot with their regular size being 'relaxed fit'. I consider price in shoes and both can be purchased for about $80 with sales/deals. interested to see if the p-38 can dethrone them. interested in how they compare to the montis shoe, similarly touted.
