Nicely done review. I ordered the Montis and found the regular to be a little narrow so I ordered pair of the wide cut. These are terrific shoes and I couldn't be more pleased. I also noticed the presenter wears Montis in other instructional videos. I'd encourage folks to give them a try. Excellent customer service too.

Thanks for this. I have very wide feet (bunions) and have used 1) wide versions of Sketchers (comfy and long lasting sole but uppers didn’t offer much support). 2) NB 996 and 1007 (good width/comfort but too much height above court and movement) and just got the Montis wide version. At first I wasn’t sure it was going to work as it goes on tight but once on it is quite comfortable. The best thing about it is feels too much lighter and has a better connection to the court which makes me feel faster and more stable. Not sure how they will last but so far these are the best shoes I have found for my feet. I also tried the Labs shoes but they didn’t have a 12 wide that I think would have fit better so I returned them.

Love the Skechers until they wear through. Then they hurt! Montis are very comfortable and last longer. Tyrol are king of lasting long but won’t feel too comfortable

@John-cs1cj 3 ай бұрын

I wore ASICS Gel 7 for a long time, very comfortable but just wore out too quickly. Now I wear Montis. They are hard to get my foot into, but once they are on they fit like a glove. And the soles last a long time. But I’ve developed heel pain, so not sure if the shoe is bad for this. They do have a pretty good cushion in the heel, so might be I just overdid it. I also have a pair of Fitville which are very comfortable, but just too wide for lateral movement. Feels like my foot sloshes back and forth which is uncomfortable. But they are a very comfortable walking shoe so I use them for that.

Cotton blend socks really help prevent foot odor in your shoes. I'm a fan of the Babolat Jet Mach 3. I've never paid full retail for them because you can often find them on sale for between $60 and $85.

@alanharris3277 2 ай бұрын

To keep my court shoes from smelling funky I use the same concoction I used for my hockey bag. I remove the insoles and spray them as well as the inside of the shoe with a mixture of alcohol and hydrogen peroxide, slightly diluted with water. Leave the insoles out and allow all to dry completely before next use..

tx! one of the best PB shoe reviews ive seen. i put the odor balls in after play. Viper Court pros are my fav PB shoe ive tried with well balanced build, comfort (great heel cuff) and maneuverability. my wider feet love the 'relaxed fit' which falls between a regular & true wide. The jetmachs overall feel high quality, very stable w/o feeling too much like an overly clunky tennis shoe. they're my go-to for singles. similar 'relaxed fit'. True- the stock insert is a bit weak but not terrible. The stock insert in the SFX3 is much better (SFX is very similar to the jet mach but has an even wider more flexible toe box.) I replaced the jet's insert with the Move game day pros and it definitely improved an already good shoe. Montis seems interesting.

@pickleballplaybook 3 ай бұрын

I’ll have to try the SFX3! I love the Skechers. It’s a vast difference going from them to the Montis but I’d say the Montis are more comfortable for me cause they make my ankles feel more secure. Unless I’m wearing short socks, the. Skechers all day!

Good work on the breakdown in each category. One possible stench solution is Baking Soda in the shoes after you play. Sprinkle in a little - not too much or it will feel gritty next time you play. About a teaspoon. It takes away the odour, for a while anyway. 🤷🏼‍♂️ I think PB shoe makers need to look at what they do in running shoes - no stink issues there. The stench from pickleball shoes is unreal 🤢 I don’t have this problem with ANY other footwear… why does this happen? The materials they use?

Wool socks wick sweat and provide extra cushion. My shoes never stink.

To help manage athletic shoe odor, I rotate wareing my 7 pairs of shoes. I don't wear the same shoes two days in a row. After activities I remove the insoles and stuff shoe paper or paper towels in the shoes. In addition I wash the insoles after the 2nd or 3rd ware. My shoes last over a year following the above process.

I have the Selkirk S1, Babolot jet mach 3, and the montis. Rotate among these 3 shoes Selkirk S1 are my favorites comfort wise (I did add powerstep insoles) and maneuverability. Agreed with durability issues. Babolats are just fine. The montis are my newest shoes. I really like them other than the short tongue. Montis told me the newer production runs will feature a longer tongue. FYI I changed the laces to lace lock type laces for each of these shoes. I didn't pay list price for either the montis (discount code) or Babolot (Amazon). Montis has become my overall most worn of the 3. I plan to purchase an additional pair when the longer tongue is available.

I’m wearing the Skechers Viper Court Pro - Multicolor w/ pink & black. Very good shoe. If you signup as a Skechers member and sign up for text alerts you can get them down to $85.00 or so. Also, the the smell factor - as soon as I’m done w/ my playing session I take out the shoe insert and just lie them out to dry. I’ve had them since April 2023 and rotate them w/ a pair of Diadora’s and have zero odor issues. I do that w/ all my sneakers, you won’t need sneakers balls or anything, the inserts is what absorbs the sweat. Just take them out to air dry.

I have some similar experiences with the Sketchers and Nike and that they are my favorite for comfort and keeping my feet feeling good. My Ascics hold up well for durability and I use as my Dailey grinders and keep my Nike's for tournaments. I do like the Nike's for singles as well, since they offer good lateral stability with their rubber design. My Adidas are good but Don't last very long, so I'm veering away from purchasing more of them in the future! Pink for my Sketchers is Not my favorite color for a shoe but got them cheap but do like the comfort factor for them and think they will hold up for 3-5 months tho!

The trick for smelly shoes - Always put on fresh socks before you play and if your feet are clean, even better. The fastest way to make shoes smell is to wear your socks around the house and then put on your shoes and get them sweaty (don't do that and you'll have MUCH fresher sneakers). A second tip is to lift up (or pull out) the insoles when you take your sweaty shoes off, so they can vent a bit and dry fully

Asics Solution Speed FF 2 (hot pink) - excellent lateral movement, good quality, everyone loves the pink glow! 2. Nike React Vapor NXT (white) - awesome everything, really sexy looking! 3. Fila Mens Volley Zone (yellow) - better than expected, more for rec play, goes well with lots of outfits 😂(I know, I know...this isn't a fashion show!)
