In the market for new pickleball footwear? Head brand offers quality court shoes for men, women, and even kids too. We’ve gone and tested out all the different models so that you don’t have to. Read on to find out which type of Head pickleball shoes is best for you.
Head Men And Women’s Pickleball Shoes
Head Revolt Evo 2.0 Court Shoes
The Revolt Evo 2.0 Court shoes for men and women are great because they are flexible and well-cushioned — two indispensable qualities for pickleball footwear, if you ask us. The toe area is relatively roomy, so this could be a comfortable choice for players with conditions like hammer toes or bunions.
One thing we want to point out is that the sizing of this model runs a bit small, so if you go for these, we recommend ordering a half size up. Overall, we found this to be a comfortable and supportive shoe for playing pickleball.
Head Sprint Pro 3.0 Indoor Court Shoes
Head Sprint Pro 3.0 Indoor Court Shoes is a unisex model designed for indoor use only. This is another high-quality shoe that proved to be very comfortable and flexible during pickleball games. The durable rubber outsole gives great traction and doesn’t leave any marks on the court.
It’s too bad they only come in one color option. The blue and bright red design of this model is definitely not for players wanting a discreet look.
Head Sprint Pro 3.5 Court Shoes
There’s a lot to love about the Sprint Pro 3.5 that’s available for both men and women. This model is so lightweight you may forget you are wearing anything on your feet!
Okay, maybe we’re exaggerating a little, but this is definitely one lightweight pair of shoes.
The downside of this shoe is that the toe is narrow, so they probably won’t be comfortable if you have wide feet. However, for narrow-feet players, this shoe has a snug and supportive (yet comfortable) fit.
SF Head Sprint Pro 3.0 Court Shoes
The Sprint Pro 3.0 SF is available for both men and women. These impressive pickleball and tennis shoes manage to find the perfect balance of features that often oppose each other. The soles are really cushy feeling, yet they are also lightweight and low to the ground. We definitely recommend these comfortable shock-absorbing shoes, especially if you worry about injury.
The standout feature of the Sprint Pro 3.0 is its use of SuperFabric® material. Light, breathable, and flexible — these pickleball shoes will make fast movements a breeze.
Head Revolt 4.0 Pro Court Shoes
Head Revolt Pro 4.0 Court shoes for men and women are super supportive, and we enjoyed wearing them on the pickleball court. This one has a stiffer feel than other Head court shoes, so for a new pair, the break-in period is longer. However, we love the stable and sturdy feel of this pickleball shoe.
You can order this pair in several different colors ranging from classic white to bright coral. Choose this model if you are looking for stylish footwear that will give you extra support.
Head Kids’ Pickleball Shoes
Head Revolt Pro 4.0 Junior Court Shoes
The Head Revolt Pro 4.0 Junior Court Shoes is a high-quality kids’ shoe. This model shares many of the same features that we love about Head adult court shoes: comfortable cushioning, stability, and traction. These are not cheap, but we think the features are worth it if you have a kiddo who is really serious about pickleball.
Head Sprint 3.5 Junior Court Shoes
Head’s Sprint 3.5 Junior shoes for tennis are another solid option for pickleball-loving kids. They are comfortable, supportive, and we love the bright color options! Compared to the Revolt Pro 4.0, this pair has a narrower fit, so best to avoid these if your child has wider feet.
Buying guide
To play your best pickleball game, make sure you look for footwear with excellent support, shock absorption, and traction. Most importantly, everyone’s feet are different, so it’s important to pick a shoe that adapts to your foot and provides a comfortable and snug fit.
Support
A supportive shoe will keep you safe during quick movements. Head court shoes offer a lot of stability overall, but we found the Revolt 4.0 Pro Court model to be extra supportive.
Shock absorption
Footwear that absorbs shock will reduce impact and keep your joints safe from injury. Head’s Sprint Pro 3.0 Court Shoes are our top pick when it comes to shock absorption.
Traction
Great traction is a non-negotiable for pickleball. We found all head court shoes to offer great traction, and the Sprint Pro 3.0 Indoor court shoes have specially designed outsoles for indoor court surfaces.
