Diadem Court Burst

I’ve had the regular for about two years now, but once I saw wide 2E I jumped on it. I would suggest anybody with a wider foot sacrifice color for comfort.! Truly, the best Pickelball Shoe I’ve ever played with. The court stability, the fit, and the ability to turn on a dime.

This is my 2nd pair of diadem court burst and I love these shoes! They are by far the most comfortable and they hold up better than any I have ever worn. I have several recommended them to several friends and they love them too!

Nice Fitting Shoe; Wide Toe Box Makes All the Difference

After returning the Skechers and Selkirk shoes due to restrictive and narrow toe boxes, I ordered the wide version of the Diadems, and am glad I did. Although I normally don’t take a wide in other shoes, the extra room makes a huge difference in pickleball; I’m very pleased with the fit and performance. The laces don’t require double knotting-they’re not prone to slipping or becoming untied. The sole provides excellent tractions, and although not the lightest shoe, they don’t seem to slow me down at all, and the rubberized support at the toe box Isa nice touch, preventing the foot from rolling over, as all mesh uppers are prone to do. I can’t speak for overall wear, as I have about ten hours of play on them. The only things preventing me from giving these five stars would be the (as now) two limited color ways in the wide version. The shipping was terrible. It too what I felt to be way too much time to fulfill the order, and the package went through both UPS and finally, USPS, arriving battered, torn, and soiled. Miraculously, the shoes themselves were unscathed. I intended to gift them to someone, but seeing the condition of the package, I couldn’t bring myself to do so. Customer service was somewhat apologetic, but didn’t seem overly concerned or offer an exchange or reparations. Not impressed, as I have quite a few other Diadem products: several of the paddles, etc.
