FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for other racket sports like tennis?
While they offer good grip and support, these trainers are specifically optimized for padel's multidirectional movements. For tennis, court-specific shoes are generally recommended due to different movement patterns and court surfaces.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Ensure there is a small amount of space at the front of the shoe (about a thumb's width) when your heel is pushed back. Your toes should not be pressed against the front, and the shoe should feel secure without excessive tightness.
How often should I replace my padel shoes?
This depends on frequency of use and playing style. Generally, when the sole's tread is significantly worn down or the cushioning feels significantly compressed, it's time for a new pair to maintain performance and prevent injuries.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and structural integrity of the shoe. Hand wash using a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary.
What does the HEAD Lateral Control technology do?
This technology is designed to reduce the risk of ankle twists during rapid lateral movements, a common action in padel. It helps to stabilize the foot and ankle.
Is the cushioning firm or soft?
The Motion Team 1.5 features an EVA midsole designed for balanced cushioning. Some players may find it to be on the firmer side, offering responsiveness and stability over plush softness.
Troubleshooting
Foot feels unstable during lateral movements
Ensure the HEAD Lockdown Strap is properly fastened and the laces are snug. Verify that you are using the correct shoe size.
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Loosen the laces and the HEAD Lockdown Strap. If discomfort persists, consider trying a different size or model, as individual foot shapes vary.
Reduced traction on court
Clean the sole of any debris or dust. If the sole shows significant wear, it may be time to replace the shoes.
Shoes smell after use
Allow shoes to air dry completely after each use. Use a shoe deodorizer or baking soda inside the shoes when not in use.

Care:
