These shoes have good support for the movement when playing pickleball.

I started using them for Pickleball. They are really nice and comfortable. I love your shoes immensely! My golf shoes are like wearing slippers. Keep up the quality and value, and you've got a customer for life!

I use these shoes when I plat pickleball and they work great.

I need wide with shoes I bought New balance for years. I found Skechers about fours years and love them, it's all I buy now.

Viper Court Smash shoes are comfortable. Sole of the shoe works well on hard courts. Run true to size and width. Viper Court Smash shoes are a great value for the price.

Shoe provided great firm support for outdoor court play. The shoes lived up to all my other sketchers shoe quality and comfort. I recommend this reasonably priced court shoe for safety and comfort on the court.

Pickle ball

I use these shoes only for playing pickleball. They're excellent for lateral movement.

I purchased these men's extra wide size 7.5 pickleball shoes to fit my woman's size 9.5 wide foot. Couldn't find a wide woman's shoe so I gave these a try. Yeah - they fit and are comfortable.

This is my 3rd pair of sketchers for pickleball. As an ambassador of the sport I look for quality brands to use and recommend

Only use as a Pickleball shoe. One of the few that comes in an extra wide width that can take a custom orthotic. Had to pry out footbed though.

I LOVE the shoes. I was a long time wearer of another brand, I was introduced to Skechers by a friend. I fell in love with them, but don't like the limited options for X-Wide. Need to fix that!

After I bought and played in a pair of these shoes for a few months, I liked them so much I went to the Sketchers store for more. They only had one pair left and I bought it and had them ship me 4 more pairs. When I started using a new pair, they only lasted 6 weeks before they started falling apart! The sole started peeling away from the toe. I had washed the shoes twice (in cold water) and air dried them. I don't know if that has to do with it, but the tag says they are machine washable. I started wearing another pair and in the same amount of time the same thing happened! I play pickleball often, but my expectation is that these hold up longer than 6 weeks. Be warned.

Pickleball only Better than viper but no style

I bought these for pickleball, but I have pretty high arches and the insole was too flat, but more importantly - IS NOT removable, so I wasn't able to try the shoe out with my usual orthotics. I have a wide-ish foot, but this shoe in the "extra wide" size felt a bit too sloppy on me with the stock insole. Again, my usual orthotic inserts may have improved that, since they fill a bit more space, but I couldn't try it. The description should mention if the insole is removable or not. The vast majority of court shoes feature a removable insole for this purpose. The shoe itself seems pretty well made. In my case, I'd probably go with a half size down in the wide, but fit is so subjective. YMMV.

Everyday wear

I was getting shin splints from playing Pickleball outdoors. I got a good online deal on these and gave them a try. They have lots of cushion and my shins no longer hurt after playing. Worth every penny.

I wanted to keep this shoe but could not. I wear ortotics which means I must be able to remove the insoles. The description did not indicate one way or another with removing them. I really have no comment on the shoes.

They look good, and are comfortable. Casual/loose fitting. My issue is for use on court (Tennis, pickelball, basketball, etc), I want a bit more rubber on the bottom and a bit less foam. I'd pay a few more dollars and take a little bit more weight if they could put just a little more/thicker rubber on the bottom and take away a bit of the foam.

The Viper Court Pro shoes give me the best fit I've had in court shoes, and I have bought four pairs of them. However, they don't last, at least for me. I play 3 hours of pickleball every day and the shoes last about two months before getting holes in the soles.
