What role does grip play and what should it be like in padel shoes?
The role of the grip in padel is very important because the athlete has to move and make more or less abrupt braking, depending on the gesture of each moment, it must offer a certain security, a certain stability in that brake. It should not be too aggressive because if you brake too sharply there is a forward acceleration that could be harmful. Obviously there must not be a very wide sliding because it could also lead to injuries, sprains, etc. The paddle sole, in order to offer a good grip, must have certain materials that do not burn quickly and that what it offers us is a safe braking for the athlete. Therefore, it is a good option to combine the spike with the points so that in each gesture you can have the maximum possible stability along with the maximum ease of movement.
