K-Swiss Ultra Court Womens Padel Shoes

Tennis Warehouse presents it as comfortable support at a good value, with an outsole designed to optimise movement on padel courts. The outsole is Draggaurd 7.0, a non-marking rubber with a tread pattern the listing calls hyper grip, for traction and durability on artificial turf.

The support is in the midsole. A TPU shank runs through the midfoot for torsional stability, a heel cap holds the back of the foot and a 180 Plantar Support Chassis is listed to help when you change direction sideways. Over it sits a mesh blend upper with DuraWrap and a moulded EVA sock liner.

Racket Central lists a CMEVA midsole, a synthetic upper and women's sizes 6 to 11, while Tennis Warehouse says IMEVA, a mesh blend and 6.5 to 9.5 on one colourway. Dunlop Sports files the shoe as padel on one page and outdoor on another. The names are close, and a different colour or season may explain the differences.

Weights are worse. A UK retailer shows 1.1 kg, which looks like a shipping weight, and a German stockist gives 314 g for a black and anthracite pair without saying whether it is the men's or women's shoe. We have used neither. The stockist's own page shows a placeholder weight, and its width, arch and break-in notes are marked to be confirmed.

In the K-Swiss women's range the Ultra Court sits between the entry Tura Team and the performance K-Frame. The Express Light 3 is the lighter herringbone shoe, the lighter Ultrashot Light is the casual option, and the Ultra Court also has a men's version, the Ultra Court for men.

Our padel shoes for women page lists the rest of the brands.

Anyone who wants a confirmed weight or the lightest shoe on court. A shank, a heel cap and a chassis add structure, and none of the listings we found gives a weight we trust.

A lighter racket helps a smaller player, and our womens padel racket page lists them, with the wider padel racket range alongside. Balls are on the padel balls page and overgrips on the padel grips page.

A bag with a shoe pocket keeps sand off your kit, such as the Babolat RH Pro, and the padel bag page lists others. Our guide to choosing a padel racket is the place to start if you are new.
