Let’s face it—the saying “take care of your feet, and they’ll take care of you” couldn’t be more true. After all, your feet are where the rubber meets the road, quite literally. Beyond catchy sayings, our shoes are just as critical as our paddles, which is why we all go to great lengths to find the best court shoes for pickleball.
But let’s talk about where your foot actually meets the shoe: the insole. Let’s be honest, the stock insoles that come with even the best court shoes are often flimsy and flat, offering little to no arch support, cushioning, or the structure needed for those quick, secure lateral movements on the court.
So, when I heard about a pickleball-specific insole, I couldn’t wait to try it out. Meet the Currex PickleballPro Insoles—a game-changing addition to your gear lineup. They just might be your next best investment. My verdict? A solid 4.75 balls out of 5!
Dynamic Fit: Arch support and heel stability for secure movement.
Superior Grip: Enhanced control for precise lateral moves.
Energy Boost: Cushioned forefoot for responsive rebounds.
All-Day Comfort: Shock-absorbing, moisture-wicking design.

First Impressions
My journey with Currex started on their website, where I used their simple sizing guide to find the right arch profile—low, medium, or high. I chose medium. The insoles arrived in sleek packaging with trimming instructions, though no adjustments were needed for my Diadem Court Burst shoes. Right away, they felt more substantial than standard insoles, with a well-structured arch and heel cup.
Initially snug, the insoles adjusted after about 30 minutes of wear, perfectly cradling my feet. Within an hour of walking around, they felt natural and comfortable. My Diadem Court Burst shoes have been great for play, but I’d noticed minor lateral movement due to my narrow feet—something I hoped the insoles would address.
Key features tailored for pickleball:
- Contoured Heel Cup: Ensures fit and stability.
- Silicone Grip Strips: Prevent slipping and lateral movement.
- Dual-Layer Cushioning: Adds comfort and ventilation.
- Targeted Cushion Zones: Enhances rebound and comfort.
- Dynamic Arch Support: Reduces fatigue and boosts support.
Overall, the insoles impressed with their thoughtful design for performance and comfort.
Game On… The Play Test
My first outing with the Currex insoles was during an indoor rec session. I was excited to see if they could help with lateral movements and address the post-game foot cramping I sometimes experience at night.
Within the first hour, the insoles felt fantastic, almost as if they were custom-made for my shoes and feet. One of my concerns going in was whether the insoles would alter the shoe’s fit, but those fears quickly disappeared. They cradled my feet perfectly—no tightness, no lateral movement. The combination of the contoured heel cup, rigid arch, and silicone strips worked seamlessly to keep my feet stable.
Two Hours In: Still Going Strong
After nearly two hours of play, my feet still felt great. I noticed an extra spring in my step, likely from the enhanced rebound the insoles provided.
Choosing the medium profile was definitely the right call—it gave me the arch support that had been missing with my stock insoles.
Post-Match Victory: No Cramps!
The real test came later that evening and the following day. To my surprise, there were no nighttime foot cramps or soreness which often happen for me regardless of the athletic shoe.
Even after a second indoor session a few days later, the results were consistent: no cramping, no toe soreness (a common issue for me during quick forward stops).
The insoles not only improved my on-court performance with better stability and comfort but also eliminated the lingering aches I sometimes dealt with after playing. They’re proving to be a game-changer for my pickleball sessions!
From the Company
My email exchanges with Shannon, my contact at Currex, provided valuable insights into the insoles and their parent company, Foundation Wellness, which boasts 90 years of biomechanical innovation.
Initially, I was concerned about the seemingly modest cushioning. Shannon explained that dynamic support and proper fit take precedence over thick cushioning, as extra material could lead to ill-fitting shoes and added weight. She also detailed the Dynamic Arch Technology, which adapts to your foot’s movements during play—a critical factor for optimal performance.
I also learned about the company’s European origins and its longstanding focus on health and wellness through innovative brands. It’s clear the Currex PickleballPro insoles are built on a solid foundation of expertise and thoughtful design.

Our feet play a crucial role in pickleball performance and overall wellness, making well-fitted, effective shoes and insoles absolutely essential. The fact that there’s an insole specifically designed to meet the demands of pickleball is a game-changer.
Sure, you might find cheaper options, but they likely won’t offer the same thoughtful design and performance features as the Currex PickleballPro insoles.
Your feet deserve the best, don’t they?
Pickle on my friends, pickle on…
