ASICS Gel-Challenger 14 Women's Padel Shoes
The Gel-Challenger 14 Padel creates the stability you need when covering the baseline, so you can keep your mind focused on controlling the point. It has a supportive upper with a reinforced feel, alongside DYNAWING technology for stability and a durable outsole for keeping you secure with the court below.
Supportive Upper
To provide support and stability within the shoes, the Gel-Challenger 14 Padel uses a supportive, durable upper. This construction keeps feet locked in and secure when wearing, whilst also protecting feet from knocks and bumps during the match. Additionally, this provides the shoes with a reinforced feel during volleys or when you're dropping back to track down deep lob shots. The shoes also have a PGUARD toe protector that shields your toes from being bashed when competing, enhancing the overall durability of the shoes. DYNAWING technology in the sidewall enhances stability during side-to-side movements, offering support and allowing for more powerful shots. Finally, the shoes have a traditional lacing system to lock down the midfoot and prevent in-shoe slipping from occurring during the game.
The sockliner is produced with the solution dyeing process that reduces water usage by approximately 33% and carbon emissions by approximately 45% compared to the conventional dyeing technology.
GEL Technology Midsole
Providing feet with comfort and a soft sensation underfoot, the Gel-Challenger 14 Padel utilises a GEL technology through the midsole. This has excellent impact absorption properties to keep feet comfortable and prevents the risks of injury or discomfort from occurring when striking down on hard, unforgiving ground. Keeping your feet at an optimum level of comfort, the midsole creates a softer feeling during footstrike, for soft bouncy strides and distraction-free wearing. Finally, the midsole features a removable OrthoLite sockliner for soft step-in comfort.
AHARPLUS Outsole
Adorning the outsole of the Gel-Challenger 14 Padel is an AHARPLUS outsole, a lightweight, durable and grippy outsole to keep you stable and secure with the court below. The outsole has excellent abrasion-resistant properties so you can rely on your shoes long-term, whilst being lightweight to keep you focused on the game ahead. The grippy nature of the outsole allows you to make those necessary twists and turns during padel, preventing you from slipping and sliding when it matters and keeping you light on your feet. The outsole also features a separated heel construction to help you experience better stability during abrupt landings.
