The short answer
The CURREX PickleballPro is an insole CURREX engineered for pickleball, in three arch profiles; the Blumaka Pickleball NonSlip has a grippy top cover Blumaka sells for pickleball shoes; and the SOLE Active Medium is a 3.2 mm moldable footbed SOLE names for pickleball shoes.
Our Top Picks: Insoles for Pickleball Shoes
Each of these nine insoles is sold for pickleball, tennis or court sports in its maker’s own words, or picked by a named pickleball roundup. On November 8, 2026, all nine were new and in stock on Amazon, at or below the maker’s regular price where one is published. Each link opens one size; others may differ in seller and price.
Find an insole for your court shoes
Pick what you play and a price tier; tiers follow each maker's regular US price. The suggestion is our editorial starting point, not a test result.
Tiers are relative to the insoles in this guide; live prices are in the comparison table below.
An insole sits on the shoe’s midsole in place of the removable insole the shoe came with. It changes arch support, cushioning and the room left inside the shoe, so the right one depends on your arch and how snug your court shoe is. Still choosing the shoe? Start at our pickleball shoes hub.

How we chose these nine insoles
How this guide was built
built from manufacturer documentation, a published retailer roundup and owner reports; we have not tested these products ourselves.
What an insole needed to make the list
- A court tie in the maker’s product text (description, spec table or the brand’s Amazon bullets), or a pick in a named pickleball roundup. Collection pages did not count.
- New and in stock on Amazon at or below the maker’s regular price on November 8, 2026. Seven were sold by storefronts under the brand’s name (CURREX’s is CURREX_PowerStep; currex.com lists PowerStep among its brands); Superfeet and Pure Stride by third-party sellers, named in their reviews.
- Specs from the maker, or “not published”.
- No health claims. We left out the makers’ pain and injury claims. For a foot condition, ask a podiatrist.
Where the evidence comes from
Where the evidence comes from
We found no independent, multi-brand test of pickleball insoles. The one multi-brand roundup on Google’s first page (October 24, 2026), Insoles.com’s guide, sells what it reviews, so we grade it as a retailer review. Owner reports come from an r/Pickleball thread on insoles from July 2026, where two owners said fit matters more than brand.
Detailed Reviews
CURREX PickleballPro, Pickleball-specific
A player who knows whether their arch is low, medium or high.
$59.95 from AmazonAs of Nov 12, 17:45 UTCCURREX’s PickleballPro page says it is “Engineered for the unique demands of pickleball”, in High, Medium and Low arch profiles, for shoe widths up to 2E. It lists a decoupled heel, dual-layer cushioning and a Super Grip anti-slip top that CURREX says is for secure lateral motion.
Insoles.com, which sells it, says: “This insole is much more sport-specific than a generic athletic insert, but it does not feel as aggressive as a plated model.” One r/Pickleball owner, model not stated, said the CURREX top layer wore out after about seven months.
Verdict
An insole CURREX engineered for pickleball, with a profile for low, medium or high arches.
Evidence: Retailer review (sells it), not independent. Insoles.com: Low, Medium and High Arch, size not stated.
Specs (L, men’s 9-10.5 / women’s 10.5-12, Medium Arch)
- Thickness: 0.22 in heel and toe; arch height 1.25 in; zero drop (CURREX chart)
- Fit: widths up to 2E; trim at the toe (CURREX)
Pros
- Engineered for pickleball in CURREX’s words, with an anti-slip top
- Three arch profiles in every size
Cons
- A retailer’s review, not an independent test
- One owner’s CURREX top layer (model not stated) wore out in about seven months
Blumaka Pickleball NonSlip, Grippy top cover
Standard Fit men's 9-9.5 · Low
A player whose foot slides inside a roomy court shoe.
$59.95 from AmazonAs of Nov 12, 17:45 UTCBlumaka’s Amazon listing says: “NON-SLIP INSOLES FOR PICKLEBALL SHOES: top cover helps prevent foot slip inside the shoe during quick resets, lateral cuts, and explosive first steps.” Its pickleball page recommends Max Cushion for most players and Low Profile for snug shoes. The Amazon listing names neither; its “high cushion” bullet and prices match Max Cushion, so we read it as that one.
r/Pickleball owners lean against it: the thread’s poster tried Blumaka, then switched to Stride Soles. One owner, comparing it with CURREX, wrote: “The grip on your feet is better with the blumaka and both are similarly comfortable.” Others found it a poor match for sweaty feet, saw no point in insole grip when the foot slides in the sock, or disliked the grip because their foot normally slides slightly in the shoe.
Verdict
A grippy top cover for players whose foot slides inside the shoe, if they like that hold.
Evidence: No independent test; owner reports. r/Pickleball owners: Blumaka, model not stated.
Specs (men’s 9-9.5 / women’s 10-10.5, Standard Fit)
- Arch: low; medium and high also sold (Blumaka)
- Cushion: Max Cushion by our reading; thickness not published
- Fit: trim to the old insole’s outline; Blumaka says a trimmed pair is not returnable
Pros
- A grippy top cover Blumaka sells for pickleball shoes
- Low, medium and high arch versions
Cons
- Owners split on the grip, most commenters against; one preferred it to CURREX’s
- The Amazon listing does not say Max Cushion or Low Profile
SOLE Active Medium, Heat-moldable footbed
A player with a medium-fitting court shoe who wants a thin footbed that molds to their arch.
$59.00 from AmazonAs of Nov 12, 17:45 UTCSOLE’s Active Medium page says: “SOLE Medium insoles are the go-to for medium-fitting footwear like running shoes, casual sneakers, pickleball shoes, basketball shoes, tennis shoes, medium fitting boots and more.” It molds to the foot through wear or in a home oven; SOLE says it suits any arch height.
One r/Pickleball owner wrote: “Sole Active is the brand that I have settled with.”
Verdict
A thin, moldable footbed for medium-fitting court shoes.
Evidence: No independent test; owner reports. r/Pickleball owner: SOLE Active, thickness not stated.
Specs (men’s 10 / women’s 12, Regular)
- Thickness: 3.2 mm total, 1.6 mm Softec cushioning (SOLE)

$64.95 from AmazonAs of Nov 12, 17:45 UTCInsoles.com, which sells it, picks it for pickleball: “Superfeet High Impact Insoles suit the player who wants a firmer, more propulsive ride.” Superfeet says it is “Engineered for high-impact activities”, rates it Medium/High arch, Max thickness and Mid cushion, and says it “Fits Best In: Roomy to moderate fitting athletic footwear with removable insoles”. Pattern., a third-party seller, sold the linked pair on November 8, 2026.
Verdict
A firm, thick insole for players who want structure and have room in their shoes.
Evidence: Retailer review (sells it), not independent. Insoles.com: All-Purpose High Impact, size not stated.

- Arch: Medium/High (Superfeet)

CURREX AcePro, Tennis-and-court CURREX
CURREX’s AcePro page titles it “Dynamic Insoles for Tennis Shoes” and says it is “built for court athletes who demand fast footwork, stable landings, and explosive push-offs.” Its FAQ adds: “While optimized for tennis, ACEPRO insoles perform well in most indoor and outdoor court shoes. We also have the PICKLEBALLPRO insole if you want specialized comfort for the pickleball court.” It shares the PickleballPro’s three profiles, 2E width limit, Super Grip top and chart figures. Its feature list adds air vent holes, which CURREX says “enhance breathability”.
Verdict
CURREX’s court insole for players who split time between tennis and pickleball.
Evidence: No independent test; maker specs. Source: CURREX.
Specs (L, men’s 9-10.5 / women’s 10.5-12, Medium Arch)
- Thickness: 0.22 in heel and toe; arch height 1.25 in; zero drop (CURREX chart)

$42.99 from AmazonAs of Nov 12, 17:45 UTCPure Stride’s Court Orthotics page says they “are designed to fit most court shoes”, and the Amazon listing names pickleball and tennis. It lists a vegan leather top, “1mm of Diacell and 3mm of EVA for added cushion”, a PET shell “for added stability and side to side support” and a PU base. The Amazon listing instead describes a breathable mesh top over dual-layer EVA. The maker page’s only review (1 of 5 stars) called them hard, with no cushion.

Fitting an insole to a court shoe
- Take the old one out. CURREX, Blumaka, Superfeet, Move and GED say to replace the shoe’s removable insole, so check that yours lifts out.
- Match thickness to the shoe. SOLE rates its Medium for medium-fitting shoes, Superfeet its pick for roomy to moderate ones, and Blumaka suggests Low Profile for snug shoes. Wide feet: see our pickleball shoe width guide.
- Pick an arch profile. CURREX and Blumaka sell low, medium and high; SOLE molds to the foot. Two r/Pickleball owners suggested a foot measurement at a running store first.
- Replace on a schedule. CURREX rates its insoles for about 500 miles or 12 months; see also how long pickleball shoes last.
Makers here pitch lateral stability through grip tops, plates, shells or pads, but an insole does not change the shoe’s outsole or upper. If the shoe is the problem, our guides to cushioned pickleball shoes, for men and women, and to On Cloud shoes for pickleball cover whole-shoe options.
Insoles we did not pick
- VKTRY Gold: VKTRY sells its carbon-fiber insoles for pickleball, but the Amazon offer was above VKTRY’s own price when we checked.
- Spenco PolySorb Cross Trainer, Sof Sole Athlete: no court tie in their makers’ text.
- FORM Ultra-Thin: picked by Insoles.com for snug pickleball shoes, but the Amazon listing we found sells it for dress shoes.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Is foam or gel better in an insole?
We found no test of the two against each other for pickleball. The makers here describe foam cushioning (EVA, Poron, memory foam or their own named foams), and none lists gel.
Q. What are the best insoles for tennis shoes?
We did not rank for tennis, but the CURREX AcePro, Masterfit EZFit Court, GED Court Sports and Pure Stride are sold for tennis too, and SOLE names tennis shoes for the Active Medium. See also can you wear tennis shoes for pickleball.
Q. Do pickleball shoes have removable insoles?
Most makers here design their insoles to replace one, and Superfeet names shoes “with removable insoles”. Check yours first; our how to choose pickleball shoes guide covers fit.
Q. What pickleball shoe has the most cushion?
No source we read measures it across brands. See our cushioned pickleball shoes and best pickleball shoes guides.
