Why Padel Players Need the Right Shoes | Adrian Grant of Kanso Shoes

In this episode of Padel Smash TV, we sit down with Adrian Grant, founder of Kanso Shoes, to talk about what really goes into building a high-performance shoe for racket sports.

Adrian shares his journey from being a former professional squash player and world-class athlete to launching a footwear brand focused on the real movement demands of sports like squash, padel, and pickleball. We get into the difference between squash shoes and padel shoes, why outsole design matters, how athlete feedback shapes development, and why the wrong footwear can affect both performance and injury risk.


This conversation goes beyond style. It breaks down the science, testing, and athlete-first thinking behind building shoes specifically for the demands of padel. If you’ve ever wondered whether footwear really makes a difference on court, this interview is worth watching.
