Bullpadel Neuron 26I Mens Padel Shoes (Atomic Blue, 2026)

Padel Shack's sheet is a long one. The outsole is Bullpadel's Hybrid 360°, herringbone mixed with micro-studs placed for grip and controlled sliding. The midsole is dual-density Phylon, light and springy. The upper is Jacquard mesh with heat-sealed overlays rather than stitching, and the tongue is padded mesh worked into the shoe. Support comes from a rear BPS stabiliser at the heel, what Bullpadel calls Lateral Movement technology, and X-Trabase extensions that widen the outsole's edge. A Toughtoe cap protects the front and the contoured insole lifts out.

The retailer describes the fit as glove-like. That usually means snug through the middle of the foot, so wide feet should try before committing.

We list UK 7, 8, 8.5, 9, 9.5, 10, 10.5, 11 and 11.5, which is EU 41 at the small end and EU 46 at a UK 11 on Bullpadel's chart. An 11.5 is unusual in padel shoes, so if you've struggled to find one, this is worth a look.

If you wear through soles in a couple of months, last year's Neuron Vibram 25V or a Vertex Vibram has the tougher compound. Beginners will be just as happy in something simpler. If the Neuron suits you, the Neuron 02 27 is Chingotto's racket family, and the men's padel shoes and padel shoes pages have the rest of the range.
