Best Barefoot Pickleball Shoes: 8 Picks Compared

Our verdict

Our Top Picks: Barefoot Pickleball Shoes

A barefoot shoe, in this guide, has three things: a wide toe box, a zero-drop sole (heel and forefoot at the same height) and a thin, flexible sole. We checked each one against its maker’s own product text, and where a maker states only part of it, the review says which part is missing and what an independent tester found. Barefoot Shoe Guide calls court shoes “a pretty underserved category” among barefoot footwear, and this list is built around Xero Shoes and Peluva, the two barefoot brands whose court-capable shoes we found in stock on Amazon. We also say plainly when a maker does not sell a shoe for court play.

Every pick was new and in stock on Amazon when we checked on October 25, 2026, and each review names the exact size, colour and gender we link. If you want a conventional court shoe instead, start with our pickleball shoes compared; if roomy toes matter more than a thin sole, our wide toe box pickleball shoes guide covers cushioned shoes too.

Toe box, drop and court words are the makers’ own. Sole figures come from the maker where it publishes one; where it does not, the tester is named. Weight is for the size and from the source shown; the sources weigh different sizes, so the figures are not a ranking.

Which barefoot shoe for which player

• You want a barefoot shoe made for pickleball: the Xero Shoes Men’s 360 Rally or Women’s 360 Rally, or Peluva’s five-toe Men’s Court Ad-In and Women’s Court Ad-In. These are the four shoes here whose makers name pickleball.
• You want a thicker sole than a classic barefoot shoe: Xero’s basketball shoe, the X1 Low (also in a women’s version) or the higher-cut X1 Mid. Xero sells the X1 for basketball, not pickleball, and The Barefoot Shoe Review’s tester found the stack “about double that of a barefoot shoe” and the shoe stiff at first.
• You already own a barefoot everyday shoe: the Xero Shoes Men’s Prio is one r/Pickleball players report using on court, though Xero does not sell it for court play.
• Men’s or women’s: the Rally, the X1 Low and the Court Ad-In each come in both, and both versions are listed here. Xero says the women’s X1 has a “women’s-specific last and outsole”. For conventional shoes by gender, see our men’s pickleball shoes and women’s pickleball shoes guides.
• You searched for “zero drop” pickleball shoes: every pick here is zero drop. Zero-drop court shoes with thicker soles are covered in the section “Zero-drop court shoes that are not barefoot” below.
• You want a conventional pickleball shoe at an entry-level price: our budget pickleball shoes guide covers those.

Picks: Xero Shoes Men’s 360 Rally, Xero Shoes Women’s 360 Rally, Xero Shoes Men’s X1 Low, Xero Shoes Women’s X1 Low, Xero Shoes Men’s X1 Mid, Xero Shoes Men’s Prio, Peluva Men’s Court Ad-In, Peluva Women’s Court Ad-In.

How we sorted barefoot shoes from barefoot-style ones

What every pick had to show

• The three barefoot features in the maker’s words. A wide toe box, a zero-drop sole, and a thin, flexible sole, each from the maker’s product page, spec tab or its own Amazon listing text. Xero states all three for the Prio. For the 360 Rally and the X1 it states the toe box and zero drop but gives no sole thickness; Peluva gives a stack height but uses five toe pockets rather than a wide toe box. Each review names the gap and, where one exists, the tester who filled it.
• A shoe you can play on a court in. Shoes sold for court sports, plus one everyday shoe (the Prio) that r/Pickleball owners report playing in; that review says Xero does not sell it for court play. We left out trail shoes and gym-only trainers.
• On Amazon, new, in stock, at or below the maker’s regular price. Peluva’s own storefront sold both Peluva pairs. Third-party sellers held the Xero pairs: Orva Stores (a New York company whose site calls it a top Amazon third-party footwear seller) for all six of them, named in each review. Sellers rotate by size, so read the listing before you buy.
• Weight only with its size and source. We do not compare the shoes by weight.
• Not already a pick in our other shoe guides, where we could. One pick, the Xero Shoes Women’s 360 Rally, is the same model and size as a pick in our wide toe box pickleball shoes guide; its review says so.

Where the evidence comes from and what r/Pickleball players report

Where the evidence comes from

Each review has an evidence line. “Same series” means an independent reviewer covered the model but did not say which gender version or size they wore, which we flag. Barefoot Shoe Guide played pickleball in the 360 Rally and compared it with the Notace Koto 1; BarefootRunReview reviewed the 360 Rally as a gym and court shoe; and The Barefoot Shoe Review had basketball players test the X1. All three earn affiliate commission or offer discount codes; none sells the shoes. WearTested reviewed the 360 Rally and is the source for its weights; it says it receives products free for review and uses affiliate links, and it sells nothing. “Owner reports” means r/Pickleball players; “Maker specs” means we found no independent test, which is the case for Peluva’s Court Ad-In.

What r/Pickleball players report

In an r/Pickleball thread on zero-drop shoes, many replies came from players in Xero shoes, and several were about the sole: one player wrote, “I chew through the X1s every 2-3mos play 3-6 days a week 2hr sessions.”, while another, in the Prio, reported, “I play 2 to 3 times a week with the prios.” In a second thread asking for a zero-drop court shoe, a 360 Rally owner warned that it “is very minimal with practically no cushion”, and another wrote, “They are holding up pretty good 6 months or so later- a small tear now in front right foot toe area but they tolerated a lot or abuse better than the regular xero 360.” These are individual reports, so the reviews set them beside the makers’ claims.

Detailed Reviews

Xero Shoes Men’s 360 Rally, Men’s pickleball-built

Xero’s 360 Rally page calls it a “Barefoot Court Shoe” and says it is “Made for training sessions, pickleball nights, rec leagues, and every pivot in between”. It lists a “Wider Toe Box” (“A foot-shaped toe box let your toes spread and relax.”) and a zero-drop heel, and its Amazon listing text adds “minimalist court training shoes with wide toe box” for “tennis, pickleball, and gym workouts”. On the outsole, Xero says it is “Designed with a full rubber outsole for omni-directional traction”. Xero does not give the sole’s thickness or call it flexible, and it does not say which court surface the outsole is for.

The testers fill that gap. BarefootRunReview lists a 9.5 mm stack (about 6.5 mm without the insole) and found it “Very flexible”, and Barefoot Shoe Guide gives the same 9.5 mm, including a 3 mm removable insole, and found it “Very flexible” too; it tried the shoe “on both an indoor and outdoor court”. BarefootRunReview also found the upper “may be a bit too flexible for aggressive lateral movements”, so the foot can slide a little over the outsole on hard cuts. They disagree on size: Xero says “We recommend your usual size.”, BarefootRunReview says “Go half a size up.”, and Barefoot Shoe Guide’s pair fit true to size. Xero publishes no weight; WearTested, a review site, lists about 9.0 oz for a men’s 9. BarefootRunReview does not say which gender version it reviewed, so the evidence is graded same series. Orva Stores, a third-party seller, sold the pair we link, shipped by Amazon.

Evidence: Independently reviewed, same series. BarefootRunReview: 360 Rally, gender version and size not stated.

Specs (men’s 10, White/Asphalt)

• Toe box and drop: wide, foot-shaped toe box; zero drop (Xero)
• Sole: full rubber outsole, omni-directional traction; thickness not stated (Xero); 9.5 mm stack including a 3 mm insole (Barefoot Shoe Guide, BarefootRunReview)
• Court: pickleball, tennis and gym (Xero); court surface not stated
• Weight: about 9.0 oz, men’s 9 (WearTested); Xero publishes none
• Sizing: “usual size” (Xero); half size up (BarefootRunReview)

Xero Shoes Women’s 360 Rally, Women’s pickleball-built

The women’s 360 Rally carries the same text on Xero’s women’s page as the men’s: a “Barefoot Court Shoe”, “Made for training sessions, pickleball nights, rec leagues, and every pivot in between”, with a foot-shaped toe box, a zero-drop heel and “a full rubber outsole for omni-directional traction”. As with the men’s, Xero gives no sole thickness and names no court surface.

Barefoot Shoe Guide played “back-to-back pickleball games” in the 360 Rally and the Notace Koto 1. It describes the Rally as “Xero’s answer to the barefoot court shoe gap”, lists the stack at 9.5 mm including a 3 mm removable insole, and wrote that the full rubber outsole “handles the lateral direction changes that pickleball, padel and tennis demand.” Its caution: the Rally is “Not the best starting point if you’re brand new to barefoot shoes and playing on hard courts for longer sessions.” The tester’s usual size is US 7.5 / EU 38, but the review does not say which gender version they wore, so we grade it same series. WearTested lists 7.8 oz for a women’s 7; Xero publishes no weight.

This is the same model and size as the 360 Rally in our wide toe box pickleball shoes guide, where it is one of several roomy shoes; here it is listed for its barefoot features. Amazon names the colour White/Fuchsia Pink; Xero calls it White / Fuchsia Purple. Orva Stores sold the pair we link, shipped by Amazon.

Evidence: Independently reviewed, same series. Barefoot Shoe Guide: 360 Rally, gender version not stated (tester’s usual size US 7.5).

Specs (women’s 8, White/Fuchsia Pink)

• Toe box and drop: wide, foot-shaped toe box; zero drop (Xero)
• Sole: full rubber outsole, omni-directional traction; thickness not stated (Xero); 9.5 mm stack including a 3 mm insole (Barefoot Shoe Guide)
• Court: pickleball, tennis and gym (Xero); court surface not stated
• Weight: 7.8 oz, women’s 7 (WearTested); Xero publishes none

Xero Shoes Men’s X1 Low, Men’s basketball-built

Xero sells the X1 Low as its “barefoot basketball shoe”, with a foot-shaped toe box and a low-to-the-court outsole it designs for quick cuts and pivots. Its feature list reads “Zero-drop heel”, “Foot-shaped toe box” and “Low-to-the-court sole”, and it says the X1 has “a low stack height”, without a figure. Xero files the X1 under the Pickleball menu on its site, but the product text is about basketball, and it does not say which court surface the outsole is for. Xero gives the weight as “11.8 oz per size 9 men’s shoe”, and we link the men’s 9.

The Barefoot Shoe Review had basketball players test it; it wrote, “This is Xero’s first true basketball shoe, and they absolutely delivered.” The review says: “The X1 starts off stiff (at least by barefoot standards) but breaks in after around 5 hours. The forefoot flex is excellent, especially at the metatarsal heads, allowing smooth transitions and sharp direction changes.” It adds that its tester “emphasized that the stack height is about double that of a barefoot shoe but still far lower than a traditional basketball shoe”, and that tester wore the low-top version. One r/Pickleball owner who moved from the original 360 wrote, “The X1s have a more plush stack than the 360s.” On r/Pickleball, owners like it on court but report fast sole wear: one wrote, “They are perfect for pickleball but their choice to make the sole For indoor ball courts kills the shoe quickly.” That is one owner’s view of the outsole, not Xero’s. The review does not say which gender version or size was tested. Orva Stores sold the pair we link, shipped by Amazon.

Evidence: Independently reviewed, same series. The Barefoot Shoe Review: X1 (one tester wore the low-top), gender version and size not stated.

Specs (men’s 9, White)

• Toe box and drop: foot-shaped toe box; zero drop (Xero)
• Sole: “low stack height”, no figure (Xero); about double a barefoot shoe’s stack (The Barefoot Shoe Review tester)
• Court: basketball (Xero); court surface not stated
• Weight: 11.8 oz, men’s 9 (Xero)

Xero Shoes Women’s X1 Low, Women’s basketball-built

The women’s X1 Low has the same “Zero-drop heel”, “Foot-shaped toe box” and “Low-to-the-court sole” as the men’s, and Xero adds that it used “data from thousands of 3D foot scans to create a women’s-specific last and outsole”. Like the men’s, it is sold as a basketball shoe, and Xero names no court surface. Xero’s page gives “9.9 oz per size 7 women’s shoe”; the Amazon listing says “10.2 oz (size 7)” and names the X1 Mid in that line, so the two figures disagree. We link the women’s 7.

The Barefoot Shoe Review tested the X1 “with both male and female athletes” and points out its “gender-specific fit”. It also suggests, “For women with wider feet, we’ve found that choosing the men’s version may offer a better fit.” So if you have wider feet, its suggestion is to compare the men’s X1 Low (pick 3). The review does not say which women’s size was tested, so we grade it same series. Orva Stores sold the pair we link, shipped by Amazon.

Evidence: Independently reviewed, same series. The Barefoot Shoe Review: X1, tested by male and female athletes; women’s size not stated.

Specs (women’s 7, White)

• Toe box and drop: foot-shaped toe box, women’s-specific last; zero drop (Xero)
• Sole: “low stack height”, no figure (Xero); about double a barefoot shoe’s stack (The Barefoot Shoe Review tester, X1)
• Court: basketball (Xero); court surface not stated
• Weight: 9.9 oz, women’s 7 (Xero page); 10.2 oz, size 7 (Amazon listing)

Xero Shoes Men’s X1 Mid, Mid-cut basketball shoe

The X1 Mid is the higher-cut sibling of pick 3, with the same Xero text: a “barefoot basketball shoe” with a foot-shaped toe box, zero drop, “a low stack height” and “a low-to-the-court outsole for quick cuts and pivots”. The difference is the mid-cut collar. Xero gives “12.2 oz per size 9 men’s shoe”, and we link the men’s 9. As with the X1 Low, Xero sells it for basketball and names no court surface.

The evidence is owner reports. In an r/Pickleball thread on zero-drop shoes, a player whose original Xero 360s did not last wrote, “I replaced them with the Xero X1 and they have been holding up much better.”, without saying low or mid. Another owner in the same thread reports wearing through X1s every two to three months, so durability reports go both ways. The Barefoot Shoe Review notes the X1 comes in high-top and low-top versions; its tester wore the low. Orva Stores sold the pair we link, shipped by Amazon.

Evidence: No independent test; owner reports. r/Pickleball owner: X1, low or mid not stated.

Specs (men’s 9, Black)

• Toe box and drop: foot-shaped toe box; zero drop (Xero)
• Sole: “low stack height”, no figure (Xero)
• Court: basketball (Xero); court surface not stated
• Weight: 12.2 oz, men’s 9 (Xero)

Xero Shoes Men’s Prio, Everyday barefoot shoe

The Prio is Xero’s “for-everything” barefoot shoe (its page title reads “Prio Running And Fitness Shoe”), and Xero states all three barefoot features for it: the page lists “Zero-drop heel”, “Foot-shaped toe box” and “5.5mm FeelTrue® sole”, with “The removable 3mm insole”, and Xero’s Amazon listing text adds a “wide toe box”, zero drop and a “flexible, low-to-the-ground sole”. Xero gives the weight as “A men’s 9 is only 8.7 oz each”, and we link the men’s 9. Xero does not sell the Prio for court play: it calls it a “Lightweight, comfortable for-everything shoe”.

r/Pickleball players use it anyway. In the zero-drop thread, one player wrote, “I play 2 to 3 times a week with the prios. They fit me perfectly and are a great court shoe, even though this is not the one they recommend.” Reports on its sole disagree: one owner found Prios “much more durable” than 360s on concrete, while another wrote, “I tore through a pair of the xero prios pretty fast.” Orva Stores, a third-party seller, sold the pair we link, in Steel Gray, shipped by Amazon.

Evidence: No independent test; owner reports. r/Pickleball owner: Prio, size and gender version not stated.

Specs (men’s 9, Steel Gray)

• Toe box and drop: wide, foot-shaped toe box; zero drop (Xero)
• Sole: 5.5 mm FeelTrue rubber plus a removable 3 mm insole; “flexible, low-to-the-ground” (Xero)
• Court: not sold for court play; “for-everything shoe” (Xero)
• Weight: 8.7 oz, men’s 9 (Xero)

Peluva Men’s Court Ad-In, Five-toe court, men’s

Peluva’s Court Ad-In page sells it for “court sports like pickleball, tennis, racquetball, and squash”, and its FAQ says it “is specifically engineered for tennis and pickleball” and “is not designed for basketball, bouldering, or other high-impact sports”. Instead of a wide toe box it has five toe pockets: Peluva lists a “Five-toe, zero-drop design”, and its Amazon listing says, “Each toe fits into its own slot for natural movement, barefoot-style flexibility, and better ground feel.” Peluva contrasts it with the restrictive toe boxes of traditional court shoes. On the outsole, Peluva writes: “Natural Gum Rubber outsole material combined with a classic Herringbone tread pattern provides excellent traction on all court surfaces.”

Peluva’s own figures disagree in two places. The spec tab lists a 12 mm stack height, while the FAQ says “a stack height of about 9mm”; and the spec tab lists a full-grain perforated leather upper, while the FAQ describes the toe box upper as “breathable mesh with synthetic overlays”. The spec tab gives 9.5 oz without a size, and the Amazon listing says “about 9 oz”. Peluva says “Sizing runs small.” and its Amazon listing recommends ordering “a half size up”. We found no independent test, so the evidence is the maker’s description. Peluva’s own storefront sold the pair we link and ships it itself.

Evidence: No independent test; maker specs. Source: Peluva product page.

Specs (men’s 10, White/Natural)

• Toe box and drop: five separate toe pockets; zero drop (Peluva)
• Sole: 12 mm stack (spec tab) or about 9 mm (FAQ); Super Critical EVA midsole; gum rubber herringbone outsole (Peluva)
• Court: pickleball and tennis; “all court surfaces” (Peluva)
• Weight: 9.5 oz, size not stated (Peluva spec tab); about 9 oz (Amazon listing)
• Sizing: runs small; half size up (Peluva)

Peluva Women’s Court Ad-In, Five-toe court, women’s

The women’s Court Ad-In has the same Peluva text as the men’s: “court sports like pickleball, tennis, racquetball, and squash”, a “Five-toe, zero-drop design” and a natural gum rubber herringbone outsole that Peluva says gives traction on all court surfaces. Its spec tab lists a 12 mm stack, zero drop and 8.5 oz without a size; the FAQ on Peluva’s men’s page gives “about 9mm” for the Court Ad-In’s stack, and the women’s Amazon listing says “about 9 oz”, so the figures disagree. The FAQ on the women’s page refers to the shoe’s “wide toe box”, although the design is the same five-toe one. On the upper, the women’s spec tab lists “Full-Grain Perforated Leather”, while the FAQ on Peluva’s men’s page describes the toe box upper as “breathable mesh with synthetic overlays”. Peluva says the shoe runs small, and its Amazon listing recommends a half size up.

As with the men’s, we found no independent test, so the evidence is Peluva’s description. Peluva’s storefront sold the pair we link and ships it itself.

Evidence: No independent test; maker specs. Source: Peluva product page.

Specs (women’s 8, White/Natural)

• Toe box and drop: five separate toe pockets; zero drop (Peluva)
• Sole: 12 mm stack (spec tab) or about 9 mm (men’s page FAQ); Super Critical EVA midsole; gum rubber herringbone outsole (Peluva)
• Court: pickleball and tennis; “all court surfaces” (Peluva)
• Weight: 8.5 oz, size not stated (Peluva spec tab); about 9 oz (Amazon listing)
• Sizing: runs small; half size up (Peluva)

What makes a court shoe barefoot

The toe box. A barefoot shoe is shaped like a foot, widest at the toes. Xero calls this a “foot-shaped toe box” on every shoe here. Peluva takes a different route with five separate toe pockets. If a roomy toe box is what you are after but you want cushioning, our wide toe box pickleball shoes guide covers conventional court shoes as well.

Zero drop. The heel and the forefoot sit at the same height; every pick here is zero drop by its maker’s own statement.

A thin, flexible sole. This is where the picks differ. Xero states 5.5 mm of FeelTrue rubber for the Prio; testers list the 360 Rally at 9.5 mm including a 3 mm insole; Peluva lists 12 mm (or about 9 mm in its FAQ); and Xero gives no figure for the X1, which its tester put at about double a barefoot shoe. A thinner sole means less foam between you and the court, and r/Pickleball owners raise that as a trade-off.

A court outsole. A barefoot shoe for pickleball still needs court grip and lateral hold. Xero designs the 360 Rally’s full rubber outsole for “omni-directional traction”, and Peluva uses gum rubber with a herringbone tread. Owners on r/Pickleball report Xero soles wearing quickly on outdoor courts, so where you play matters; our traction and outdoor pickleball shoes guides compare conventional outsoles.

Zero-drop court shoes that are not barefoot

“Zero drop” and “barefoot” overlap but are not the same: zero drop describes only the heel-to-toe height. Two court shoes come up in zero-drop searches and r/Pickleball threads:

• Notace Koto 1. Notace sells it for “padel, tennis, and pickleball”, with “a wide, foot shaped toe box, a zero-drop platform, and a multi-flex herringbone outsole”, but lists a 19 mm stack height and an eTPU midsole. Barefoot Shoe Guide, which played pickleball in it, wrote: “Let’s start here: the Koto is not a barefoot shoe. At least if you’re being strict about it.” It is not a pick here because Notace does not describe a thin sole, and its Amazon listing text calls it a running shoe with a “Cushioned Midsole”.
• Cuurt. Cuurt sells its Muuv and Momentum as “Wide Toe Box Court Shoes”, and r/Pickleball players bring it up in zero-drop threads. The spec tab on each page lists “Stack Height: 26mm” and “Heel-To-Toe Drop: 0mm / Zero Drop”, so like the Koto they are zero drop but not thin. The Momentum page’s feature panel is headed “Low Drop” and describes “a slight lift under your heel”, which disagrees with its own spec tab. We did not find Cuurt on Amazon, so it is not reviewed here.

Owner reports on both are still few.

Why Vivobarefoot is not a pick. Vivobarefoot comes up in r/Pickleball zero-drop threads, but we found no Vivobarefoot shoe sold for court play on Amazon. Its Motus Strength II is titled a “Training Shoe” and the listing’s first bullet calls it a “Pinnacle Barefoot Strength Trainer”, and its Geo Court is listed as a “Fashion Sneaker” (women’s). In the r/Pickleball zero-drop thread, one player who tried Vivobarefoot wrote that its “soles wore out too fast”, while in another r/Pickleball thread a player said their Vivobarefoot Primus Trail “lasted longer than I expected”.

Frequently Asked Questions

It depends on what you want from a shoe. Barefoot court shoes give you a wide toe box, zero drop and a thin sole, and the court-built ones here are designed for lateral court movement. The trade-offs that testers and owners report are little cushioning and, on outdoor courts, sole wear. Barefoot Shoe Guide wrote that the 360 Rally is “Not the best starting point if you’re brand new to barefoot shoes and playing on hard courts for longer sessions.”

Not always. Every barefoot shoe here is zero drop, but a zero-drop shoe can have a thick, cushioned sole, like the Notace Koto 1 with its 19 mm stack. The section “Zero-drop court shoes that are not barefoot” above covers it and Cuurt, whose Muuv and Momentum list a 26 mm stack.

Yes: the 360 Rally, which Xero made “for training sessions, pickleball nights, rec leagues, and every pivot in between”, in men’s and women’s versions. Xero also makes the X1, which it sells as a basketball shoe, and r/Pickleball owners play in both the X1 and Xero’s everyday Prio.

No source we read ranks barefoot court shoes against each other. WearTested’s review of the 360 Rally lists among its pros: “Pickleball Ready: Arguably the best barefoot-style shoe currently on the market for pickleball.” That is one reviewer’s view of one shoe.

Some players do: r/Pickleball owners report playing in the Xero Prio, which Xero calls a “for-everything shoe” rather than a court shoe, and they disagree on how long its sole lasts on court. A shoe sold for court sports, such as the 360 Rally or Court Ad-In, has an outsole its maker describes for court traction. Our guide to whether you can wear tennis shoes for pickleball covers the same question for conventional shoes.

Follow each maker’s advice and check reviews for your size. Xero recommends your usual size for the 360 Rally, but BarefootRunReview went half a size up while Barefoot Shoe Guide found its pair true to size. Peluva says the Court Ad-In runs small and suggests a half size up. Our guide on how to choose pickleball shoes covers fitting in general.

No source we read counts that. For conventional court shoes, see our pickleball shoes compared.

The bottom line

Final Verdict

For a barefoot shoe made for pickleball, start with the Xero Shoes Men’s 360 Rally (check price) or the Xero Shoes Women’s 360 Rally (check price): a foot-shaped toe box, zero drop, a full rubber court outsole, and a 9.5 mm stack by testers’ figures. If you want a thicker sole, Xero’s basketball shoe keeps zero drop and the toe box with a stack its tester found about double a barefoot shoe’s, and stiff at first: the Xero Shoes Men’s X1 Low (check price), the Xero Shoes Women’s X1 Low (check price) or the mid-cut Xero Shoes Men’s X1 Mid (check price), though Xero sells all three for basketball. If you already wear toe shoes, the Peluva Men’s Court Ad-In (check price) and Peluva Women’s Court Ad-In (check price) are five-toe, zero-drop shoes Peluva builds for tennis and pickleball. The Xero Shoes Men’s Prio (check price) has all three barefoot features in Xero’s own words and owners play in it, but Xero does not sell it for court. For zero drop with more cushion, see the Notace Koto 1 above; for conventional court shoes, our pickleball shoes compared.
