The Niu
Advanced Pickleball Shoes with Plantar Fasciitis Relief
Anti-Fatigue Cushioning & Lateral Support for Pain-Free Performance
Say Goodbye to Heel Pain and Court Discomfort
Tired of hobbling off the court with throbbing heels and aching arches? The Niu Pickleball Shoes are engineered specifically to eliminate the most common pain points that plague pickleball players, so you can focus on your game—not your feet.
Targeted Pain Relief Technology
Unlike ordinary athletic shoes, The Niu features a triple-protection system designed for the unique demands of pickleball. Premium orthopedic arch support keeps your plantar fascia properly aligned, preventing the inflammation that causes debilitating heel pain. Advanced shock-absorbing midsoles cushion every landing, lunge, and pivot, reducing impact stress by up to 40% compared to standard court shoes.
Built for Explosive Lateral Movement
Pickleball's signature quick direction changes demand superior lateral stability. The Niu's reinforced sidewall structure and wider base prevent dangerous ankle rolling during aggressive side-to-side play, while the responsive heel counter locks your foot securely in place. The result? Confident, pain-free movement in every direction.
All-Day Comfort That Goes the Distance
Extra-thick EVA foam insoles with targeted heel and metatarsal cushioning absorb repetitive impact that leads to Achilles tendonitis and stress fractures. Breathable mesh uppers with strategic stretch zones accommodate foot swelling during extended play, while moisture-wicking linings keep feet cool and blister-free through multiple games.
Court-Ready Performance Features
Non-marking rubber outsoles with herringbone tread patterns deliver exceptional grip for explosive starts and sudden stops without damaging court surfaces. Lightweight construction reduces foot fatigue, while durable materials ensure your shoes outlast the competition.
Perfect For:
-
Players experiencing plantar fasciitis or heel pain
-
Anyone recovering from ankle sprains or seeking injury prevention
-
Athletes with flat feet, high arches, or foot alignment issues
-
