Koto 1 Mens

Very comfortable. Started using barefoot shoes and was ready to make the switch to barefoot shoes on the court. I am using these for padel and racquetball. My feet are happy. No discomfort, toe box is plenty wide, true to size, do not order up. If you are an 11.5, order an 11.5.

Because of an issue with the major metatarsal pad on my right foot, I've been transitioning to zero drop shoes. The last pair of shoes to change out was my pickleball shoes. I was going to try Kuurt pickleball shoes, but most reviews were negative with respect to customer service, returns and quality. The only positive was that they were cheaper than the Koto 1. I elected to purchase the Koto 1 because of the high percent of positive reviews across the board. I wore mine for the first time for about an hour and a half while playing multiple games. While they have much less cushioning than my current Skecher's pickleball shoes, they had enough. I actually felt more sure footed than with any of the 20 plus pickleball shoes I've owned. And, after playing, my feet were not tired or sore. I will be playing again on Tuesday. If the Koto 1 is still as comfortable and stable, I will be ordering another pair. I'm not concerned with with wear of the soles, just the comfort and stability. I'm 84 and these are the most important aspects for me. Thank you for making the Koto 1.

I love these shoes. They are wide in the toes box and provide a real feel for the ground, with a perfect amount of cushion, just enough to absorb shock of running around the court without insulating me from being able to feel the ground beneath me. I LOVE these shoes!
