Bullpadel Elite 26V Womens Padel Shoes

Bullpadel calls the outsole Hybrid Grip, a mix of herringbone zones and raised studs meant to bite on the sand-dressed artificial grass most UK courts use. Above it sits a midsole built with what Bullpadel names BP Fluid technology, aimed at cushioning each landing while giving some of that energy back on the next push-off. The upper is a mesh built with Stitch In Frame Technology, holding the shoe's structure without the stitched overlays that can rub the skin during a long session.

One retailer listing the same 26V in a blue colourway calls the sole X-Ground technology rather than Hybrid Grip. We've gone with Hybrid Grip, the name on the listing we fetched directly, and flag the mismatch rather than pretend both sources agree.

Bullpadel already puts Gemma Triay's name on its women's racket line, the Elite 02, and several retailers sell this shoe the same way: as her pair, in white, navy and blue. Triay is a current top-ranked pro, partnered with Delfi Brea for six Premier Padel women's titles in the 2026 season before the pair lost the London P1 final.

None of that changes what the shoe does for a club player. It's built for someone training several times a week, not a once-a-fortnight game.

Bullpadel doesn't sell a women's version of the Vertex Vibram or Hack Vibram, the firm, tour-level shoes it makes for men, so the Elite 26V is the closest thing in the women's range: built for players who train often and want a grippier sole and a more structured upper. The Beker sits well below it, aimed at occasional club players, with a softer, more forgiving build and no confirmed outsole spec on the pair we currently list; the newer Beker 24I does publish one, a herringbone sole with a TPU stabiliser. If UK 6.5 isn't your size, the Perf Comfort 26I is the closest alternative, with its own hybrid sole and a Rotox pivot disc, from UK 5 to 8.

We only hold UK 6.5 of this pair right now. Bullpadel shoes generally run about a UK size small against ASICS or HEAD, so if 6.5 is close to your usual size, it's worth trying rather than ruling out. Our padel shoes page covers fit and sole patterns by brand if you want to see the full range before deciding, the padel shoes women's page narrows it to women's builds, and our guide to choosing a padel racket is the place to start if the racket needs sorting too.
