The DAPS pickleball shoes were released in 2025, and several pro players have switched to them. The DAPS out-perform the big brands in several key metrics, and you don’t just have to take our word for it — they have the data to back it up. They sent the shoe to the Heeluxe Performance Lab, which compared the DAPS to several other well-known shoes in the pickleball space.
The results favored the DAPS in several areas:
-Faster starts
-Quicker stops
-Better energy return
-More energy efficiency
