This is my third pair of pickleball shoes, and I think I’ve finally found The Shoe. I’ve been dealing with pain on the top of my big toe—likely turf toe—and needed something with the right mix of stability and cushioning to keep playing while I rehabbed. The pain didn’t bother me during games, so I didn’t want to stop playing.
I first tried the regular version, but it felt too snug on the injured foot. I reached out to customer service (shoutout to Jay!) and they were incredibly helpful. I switched to the wide cut version, and it was perfect—just the right amount of toe box room and a snug, sock-like fit that reminded me of a running shoe.
Bonus points for style: the color pop gives it a sleek edge that stands out on the court. I wear a size 11 and didn’t need to size up or down. If you want a little extra room up front, definitely go for the wide cut.
I’ve already recommended Montis to my pickleball friends. If you’re looking for comfort, support, and style—look no more. Montis is the shoe
