Head padel shoes

Head padel shoes: no more headaches

The American-Austrian brand Head was founded in 1950 and made its debut in the world of skiing. But it was towards the end of the 1960s that the brand branched into racket sports. First in tennis, where it is a market leader with stars under contract such as Andy Murray, Alexander Zverev and Novak Djokovic. Then in padel more recently, where the goal remains the same: to be among the best padel manufacturers in the world. 

Why choose Head padel shoes?

In the padel shoes market, many manufacturers have launched ranges to expand their catalogue. Head is one of them and didn't hold back. With several iconic pairs packed with technology, the Austrian brand has a strong presence and aims to make a big impact in a market dominated by specialist brands. The arrival of the Motion Pro, developed behind the scenes for several months by the brand, is now here. Numerous innovations make this pair unique and near perfect. Lightweight, durable, reinforced in key padel areas (heel, toes, ankles), it wins everyone over and remains today one of the most popular pairs among both amateur and professional players. 

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 quality, on Head padel rackets as well as on shoes or other accessories, is value for money. Indeed, thanks to its numerous R&D centres that regularly release new technologies, the brand's products are of top quality, as proven by their partnership with Arturo Coello, one of the best professional padel players of his generation. The price, for its part, is often lower than other manufacturers, making it an accessible brand while guaranteeing the quality of their products. 

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 is very important to look after your padel shoes to protect them and avoid having to replace them all the time. Here are a few tips to follow. First, protect them by using a Head padel bag, as they feature a dedicated shoe compartment allowing you to protect your gear from potential odours and your shoes from impacts with other items. Another tip: use your padel shoes solely for sport and padel. Most pairs are reinforced in key areas for padel, and using them elsewhere will wear them out. 

Other Head collections: must-haves! 

The Austrian brand also offers all other types of products: rackets of course, but also Head padel clothing to dress like your favourite players and accessories to customise your racket and your style for an even more complete padel experience. But one of the brand's biggest sellers is Head padel balls. The best-selling and most popular, the 3 levels of Head balls will allow you to play the style of game you prefer.
