What Real Players Are Saying

I’ve worn numerous other court shoes for pickleball and I was getting sore knees and they wouldn’t last long.
When I first put on the P-38’s I could tell and feel that this is a different shoe from the rest. My knees hurt way less which means more play. Very comfortable and they seem to be wearing very well. I actually bought a second pair so when my current ones are finally done I don’t have to wait for another pair.

Pickleball is all about quick cuts, lateral movement, and control and these shoes just get it. I used to slide out or feel wobbly when I’d change direction. Not anymore. The grip is unreal and they feel really grounded, but still super responsive. I honestly haven’t worn anything better for pickleball.

I have about 20 hours on them so far (2 weeks) and the outsole isn't yet showing signs of wear (which is good, because I destroy outsoles). From day 1, they were comfortable enough to play a full 2 hour session in. love the built in "sock" fitting, hugs my heel and back 3rd of my foot. Toe is comfortable, no sliding around. Love them, my favorite pair of pickleball shoes I've ever owned.

I grabbed the black ones because I wanted something low-key that still looked sharp and these delivered. They go with everything and have this clean, aggressive look without being flashy. But more importantly, they perform. I feel stable, quick, and supported every time I step on the court. A few people at my club already asked where I got them. Safe to say, these are my go-to now.

I’ve always played in my regular running shoes and figured they were fine. But after one game in the P-38s, I realized how wrong I was. I’m way more stable, I’m not sliding around, and I feel faster. It’s like they were made just for pickleball super grippy, lightweight, and actually comfortable. Honestly wish I switched sooner.

My feet are very sensitive to certain shoes. This brand has been amazing! My feet feel great- even after 3 hours on the court! The soft outer shell with the added neoprene sock liner add so much comfort! I love the looks, and they play fabulous! Thank you for making such a great product! My feet thank you too!!

Best shoes on the market!

It took them a bit to get to me but when they did I was stunned at their performance. I play both indoor and outdoors, hardwood to concrete and the grip that I have now thanks to those shoes helps my game out tremendously! I recommend them to any player that wants more edge on their game. No more sliding around on the floor for this guy! They have an inner sock design built right into the shoe keeping rocks and pebbles from getting inside causing a time out or a distraction during those intense games. Thank you Hank and the rest of the Winners Edge Team. I will only puchase my pickleball shoes from this company from this point on.

You Got Questions, We Got Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is the shoe called the P-38 Lightning?

Our founder, Hank, is a fan of both pickleball and history. The P-38 Lightning is the name of a WW2 fighter plane that is credited by many historians as being the reason why the U.S. won WW2.

Footwear is only one part of your pickleball game, but it's pivotal for your performance to win on the court!

What size shoe should I order?

95% of customers find their P-38 Lightning Pickleball Shoes to be true to size. 

If you receive your shoes and they are too big or small, you can exchange them for a different size at no cost to you.

I have wide feet. Will these fit me?

Our toe box leans slightly to the wider side, which players enjoy for the extra space.

At this time, we do not have wide sizes, so they are unlikely to fit players with wide feet who need wide sizing. We're working on rolling them out – stay tuned!

How durable are the shoes?

The P-38 Lightning has been tried and tested by demanding professional pickleball players, who prefer the P-38 Lightning Pickleball Shoes for their durability and how long they last.
