Bullpadel Hybrid Fly 26I Mens Padel Shoes (Black, 2026)

Padel Shack's listing gives the 26I in more detail than most. Underneath is Bullpadel's Hybrid 360° outsole, a herringbone tread mixed with micro-studs for grip and pivoting, with Flex Rift channels cut across it so the sole bends where your foot does. Cushioning is dual-density, an EVA core over a Phylon midsole. At the back, a TPU heel stabiliser Bullpadel calls BPS works with X-Trabase wings on the outside to stop the foot rolling when you push off sideways. The upper is open mesh with thin heat-sealed TPU overlays, and a rubber toe cap takes the drag on low volleys.

Two things aren't published for this season. Nobody quotes a weight for the 26I, and the Rotox pivot disc that retailers list on the 26V isn't named on the 26I's sheet, so we're not claiming it.

We list UK 8, 8.5, 9, 9.5, 10, 10.5 and 11. On Bullpadel's chart that's EU 42 to 46, for feet of about 259mm at a UK 8 up to 286mm at a UK 11. Retailers describe the 26V as running slightly long with a wider forefoot; the 26I is built on the same idea, so measure your foot against the chart rather than assuming your usual number.

If you play four or five times a week and wear soles out, Bullpadel's Vibram-soled shoes are built to last longer; the Hybrid Fly trades some of that for less weight. And if you mostly play from the back and value cushioning over quick feet, a heavier, more padded shoe will suit you better.

A quick shoe pairs naturally with a quick racket; our intermediate racket page covers the step up, and every other men's and women's shoe we stock is on the padel shoes page.
