Customer Reviews SKECHERS Skechers Pickleball Viper Court: Elite Hands Free Slip- Ins

I love the Skechers and so does my husband for court sports (pickleball) but the toe box compared to the one he currently wears (relaxed fit) is too tight so I'll be returning and exchanging it for one that fits better. The color and quality is great though. Just not the right fit.

The shoe is perfect! Color & design are top tier !

I am an aggressive pickleball player DUPR 4.1 singles and 4.4 doubles. I was looking for a shoe that has good stability, is comfortable and tread that will last more than 2-3 months. When I first put the shoe on the front was very tight and my heal slipped out. I wore them around my house for a day to break-in and my heal no longer slips and the front is now just snug. I have been able to go and hit 800 pickleballs against my Ernie pickleball machine on two different days on outside courts with it set to throw balls hitting the far left and then the far right side of the court. I really like the stability, traction, support and comfort. I have played doubles and some singles on a gym floor too and the grip was much better than the ASICS I had previously. I'm opportunistic that the Goodyear tread will last at least 6 months. Time will tell.

Use for pickleball only. My first pair. Usually wear Asics for pickleball. So far so good after two weeks.

Very good pickleball shoe. I like the arch support, cushioning and look. I typically wear a size 9, including in a previous Skechers pickleball shoe model. However, this particular model has a narrower toe box, so I'd recommend going up 1/2 size.

It is easy on/off as advertised. Disappointed that it doesn't seem to have as much cushioning as my Viper Pro. Compared to other pickleball sneakers that I use, it has more cushioning but less support.

As a pickleball instructor, one of the first topics in my curriculum is safety and that includes proper footwear offering stability. These shoes fit the bill perfectly as long as you use them as conventional lace up shoes. To expect a slip-in shoe-- without tightening the laces-- to provide stability during lateral movement seems unreasonable. The removable insole supplies excellent arch support and cushioning is well above average in both the forefoot and heel. Achilles support is appreciable without being overdone. The outsole delivers both grip and durability while remaining flexible. Note: I have only used these shoes on outdoor court surfaces but I have no reason to believe they would not also perform well on indoor surfaces. All of this is packaged in a lightweight shoe that is, according to Skechers, machine washable (I have not tried this yet).

Currently wearing the Viper Pro which I like. Tried the Viper Elite and front of shoe too narrow. Result of the "slip-in"? If you are buying a top PB shoe why would you even want a slip-in!

Shoe is absolutely great except for the width. I am assuming there is no/little give to stretch due to great support they provide. Been using 6 wks 4 dys a wk avg 3 hours per session still look new

These shoes are not stable enough for playing Pickleball, but I may keep them for walking.

This is a decent shoe for Pickleball. However, the toe box on this pair is very small. I have a narrow to medium foot and found it very hard to have enough space for my toes. The first pair I bought, I sent back in as they wore out too fast around the ankle in the cushioning area. This is an exact same pair however, this pair is slightly smaller and has a much smaller toebox. Slightly uncomfortable otherwise I would have given it a better rating.

Great looking and feel but I cannot wear them. Don't understand why I cannot get them in a wide size

Many of your more attractive styles are only offered in a medium width which will prevent me from purchasing from Skechers again. I will shop elsewhere for my sneakers.

I love the design of the shoe and the left shoe is comfortable. The right shoe toe box is too tight especially around my pinky toe. Never had this problem before with other Skecher pickleball shoes.

"The collar on my Skechers Pickleball shoe shows significant fraying almost immediately after use, compromising comfort and durability. Please address this issue."

Looks like a well built shoe but unfortunately right after trying it on, it was way to narrow for my feet and I normally don't even require a wide shoe. Never had that issue before.

This shoe was a little tight for the first 3 hours of pickleball play. Then it felt great! I am a 180 pound 62 year old man who plays 4.0+ doubles and singles pickleball. This is the most comfortable shoe I have worn. Unfortunately the Goodyear sole ribbing was smooth under the balls of my feet on both shoes after only 6 weeks of playing 3 times a week for 2-3 hours a day. They are slip-ins but there are laces that allow you to tie them on tight. I never slipped while wearing them. So I loved the fit and style of the shoe but I can't afford to replace a $140 shoe every 6 weeks. That would be over $1,100 for a year.

Not happy with sneaker

Narrowed profile at ball of foot numbed both feet at ball & toes, then pain/burning. I've had 4 different pairs of Skechers before, no issues. Not about breaking init's the construction. Terrible.

Smaller than the original size and wide is not in the list.

Shoes are too narrow not half Need 11.5 extra wide relaxed fit I love the shoes I got after returning 2 pair I would recommend and buy more if sized right

I've used the Viper Court Pro for 18 mos and love it. It's one of the few pickleball shoes in 4E. This is a lame replacement. It doesn't even come in 2E! My orthotic didn't fit inside. It sucks

Had to return without use. Felt narrow & front of insole was cutoff.
