Head padel shoes

Head padel shoes: no more headaches

The American-Austrian brand Head was founded in 1950 and started out in skiing. It entered racket sports in the late 1960s, beginning with tennis, where it is one of the market leaders and sponsors stars such as Andy Murray, Alexander Zverev and Novak Djokovic. More recently, it moved into padel with the same goal: to be among the world’s leading padel equipment manufacturers. 

Why choose Head padel shoes?

Many manufacturers have entered the padel shoes market to expand their ranges. Head is one of them, and it has gone all out. With several iconic pairs packed with technology, the Austrian brand has established a strong presence and aims to make a big impact in a market dominated by specialist brands. Its Motion Pro has arrived after several months of development behind the scenes. Numerous innovations make this pair unique and close to perfect. Lightweight, durable and reinforced in key areas for padel (heel, toes and ankles), it has won over players and remains one of the most popular pairs among amateurs and professionals alike. 

In addition, Head also offers other, more affordable pairs dedicated to padel beginners. This way, you can enjoy Head quality at lower costs. Pairs of Head shoes for women and kids are available to get the whole family into padel! 

Head padel shoes, the best value for money?

The brand’s greatest strength, from its Head padel rackets to its shoes and other accessories, is value for money. Thanks to its many research centres, which regularly develop new technologies, the brand’s products are high quality — as shown by its partnership with Arturo Coello, one of the best professional padel players of his generation. Prices are often lower than those of other manufacturers, making it an accessible brand while maintaining product quality. 

So how do you choose your Head shoe?

To choose your ideal pair of shoes, several features should be considered. The choice is important because foot support and comfort are essential for progressing smoothly in padel.

The sole: insole and outsole

The sole is a part that must be taken into account when buying a shoe, especially from Head. The different variations that can be found in insoles are often in terms of thickness. Depending on this, many parameters can change such as weight, price, and feel on the court.

For the outsole, the variation is found under the foot, where the materials used change depending on the playing surface. For specific surfaces like artificial grass or clay (yes, just like tennis), special soles are necessary to ensure good grip. In order to increase playing comfort and limit injuries, it is important to choose a pair suited to where you play. 

Support: never take off your shoes again

Support is an essential component of a shoe and Head is no exception. Having good support allows you to be more reactive, especially on drop shots and short balls. It also provides more comfort and, above all, prevents injuries such as ankle sprains or strains. Brands, including Head, are therefore striving to innovate to offer the best shoe support. 

Durability: to last longer!

Another selection criterion when choosing shoes is durability. It is better to have a shoe that lasts over time to avoid replacing it frequently. Head has therefore reinforced the vulnerable areas of the shoe so that the specific movements of padel do not damage the materials. It is nevertheless recommended to use the shoes only for padel, so as not to damage the unprotected parts of the pair and thus keep them for as long as possible. 

Style: not to be overlooked either!

And yes, shoe design matters too. Match your shoes to your outfit or your racket to dazzle your opponents with your style. Understated or colourful, plain or multi-coloured, choose THE pair you prefer. 

How to care for your Head padel shoes?

It’s very important to look after your padel shoes to protect them and avoid having to replace them too often. Here are a few tips. First, keep them in a Head padel bag, which has a dedicated shoe pocket to protect your other belongings from odours and your shoes from knocks against other items. Another tip: only wear your padel shoes for sport, specifically for padel. Most pairs are reinforced in key areas for playing padel, and using them in other situations could damage them. 

Other Head collections: must-haves! 

The Austrian brand offers all the other types of products too: rackets, of course, but also Head padel clothing so you can dress like your favourite players, and accessories to personalise your racket and your style for an even more complete padel experience. One of the brand’s biggest sellers, though, is its Head padel balls. Among the best-selling and most popular, Head’s three levels of balls let you play the style of game you prefer.
