For pickleball

Made for your foot, not a size chart.

Pickleball is a hard court and a lot of side-to-side. A custom pair shaped to an impression of your feet gives the court shoe what it lacks: lateral control, a heel that lands on cushion, and an arch that is yours.

Designed for

What the court asks of a foot, and what the design does about it

A running shoe is built to go forward. A court shoe has to stop, plant and push sideways on a hard surface. The court design is shaped for that.

  1. 01

    A firm shell for lateral cuts

    Holds the arch and the midfoot through a side-to-side plant so the foot does not slide off its own edge.

  2. 02

    A deep heel cup for hard court

    Keeps the heel over its own fat pad on the hard court and through the split-step, point after point.

  3. 03

    An arch contour from your impression

    Taken from the foam you press at home, so the support sits where your arch actually is. Shell firmness follows your weight band.

  4. 04

    A forefoot that fits a court shoe

    Cushion under the ball of the foot without stealing the room the shoe needs; trims along the guide to most court and tennis shoes.

The designs

The court design, and two for off-court days

Court shoes get the court design. A week that also has the gym or a long walk gets the multi-sport profile, and the shoes you wear the rest of the time get the everyday pair — a second pair is $139, from the same impression.

From the kitchen table to the bench and back

Four steps. One trip to the mailbox.

Everything happens at home except the making. Milled and finished by hand in our New York workshop, from domestic and imported materials.

  1. 01

    Take the 50-second quiz

    Where it hurts, what you do all day, which shoes. We match one of 25 designs to you — no diagnosis, just a fit plan.

  2. 02

    Press into the kit at home

    A foam impression kit ships within 1 business day of your order. Press each foot into the foam, close the box and send it back. Five minutes, no appointment; shipping is free both ways.

  3. 03

    We make your pair in our own workshop

    Your impression is checked the day it lands — that is the day your delivery clock starts. A technician contours arch, heel and forefoot to your foot; the shell is milled to that contour, finished and checked against your impression.

  4. 04

    At your door — or a full refund

    Under 10 business days from the day we receive your impression, tracked the whole way. Counted in business days from the day your impression arrives at our workshop. Slide them in, lace up, walk. 180 days to decide.

The honest guarantee

180 days. 100% back. Nothing deducted.

Wear your pair for six months. If they are not right, we remake them. If they are still not right, we refund every dollar — the full price, not the price minus a restocking fee, a shipping fee, or a "deduction" buried in the terms.

FAQ

Questions from the court

Still unsure? Write to care@evensteporthotics.com — a person answers.

Court shoes or my running shoes for pickleball?

Court shoes, if you can: they are built for lateral movement and a hard surface. Whichever you play in, tell us the shoe when you order and the pair is shaped for it; the running design has a different forefoot and heel and works well as the second pair.

I play three times a week and my heels ache afterwards. Which design?

If a clinician has named heel pain or plantar fasciitis, choose that design and add the court pair for your shoes. If nothing has been named, the quiz works from where it hurts and what you do. We do not diagnose.

Do they also work in tennis shoes?

Yes — it is the same design for tennis and pickleball: same lateral control, same heel cup, same hard-court forefoot. One pair covers both if you play both in the same shoe.

Can I pay with my FSA or HSA card?

FSA/HSA eligible — pay with your FSA/HSA card at checkout or submit our itemized receipt. We don't bill insurance.

What if they are not right?

Within 180 days of delivery a remake is free, and so is a 100% refund if you would rather — no deductions, free return shipping.
