Looking for recommendation for best court shoes for achilles tendonosis
I am looking for recommendations for a good women's outdoor court shoe for Pickle ball. I suffer from Achilles tendonosis and have been able to play 4 times a week indoors wearing K-Swiss court shoes and heel lift inserts with no problem. But with warmer weather on the future horizon in my area, I'm looking for a new pair of shoes with good stability, and perhaps lighter than the K-Swiss, that would be good for my Achilles tendonosis. With all the Pickle ball in the Villages, you guys are the experts! Anyone else feel my pain?

When I was looking I could only find court shoes at two places. The tennis club at Glenview Golf Course and Bealls Department Store, mainly the 441 location. Glenview only carried the K-Swiss and were around $57. Bealls had both K-Swiss and Nike and were $50 & $55 respectively. I went with the Nike because they were a lower profile. When I had one of each foot the K-Swiss were about an inch taller, which felt less stable to me and had a greater chance to roll your ankle. Also, before buying I went to the Bealls website and found a $13 coupon, so I ended up only playing $42 for the Nike's.

Consult either Dr. Johnny Wu or Dr. Estuary.

I will have to order online, so I guess it makes sense to order from someplace that offers free returns. |

An ankle brace probably should be worn no matter shoe you buy. When you tear your Achilles, it is a very long time in a boot and off the court. You might not be able to play outside as many as 4 days a week. Be careful.

I have lots of the Orthoheel shoes and love them. I also use their orthotics in my current pair of K-Swiss court shoes. I'm just not sure that walking/running shoes are good for court sports. They typically do not allow for the side to side motion that is necessary. I wish they made a pair specific for tennis or any court shoe. |
