Customer Reviews SKECHERS Go Train Viper Court Smash - Pickleball

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.

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!

Didn't realize how wide they were I have a narrow foot

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.

I play Pickleball. Not the most comfortable shoes.

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.

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.
