Our Verdict
The best entry-level padel shoe money can buy. Michelin outsole, Babolat quality, sub-£80 price. If you're new to padel, start here.
Full Review
The Babolat Jet Premura 2 is the best padel shoe for players new to the sport who want a dedicated court shoe without spending close to £100. The headline feature is the Michelin outsole — yes, the tyre company — which provides outstanding grip on padel court surfaces at a price point that makes it accessible for beginners. The synthetic mesh upper is lightweight and breathable, the cushioned insole provides adequate comfort for sessions of up to 90 minutes, and the low-cut design gives the court feel that padel requires. For anyone currently playing padel in running shoes or cross-trainers, upgrading to the Jet Premura 2 will immediately improve your lateral movement and reduce the injury risk that comes from playing in inappropriate footwear.
