Purchased these shoes on Racquetworld.com before finding this website.
These Python's were purchased exclusively for Pickleball. They are comfortable, provide nice foot support, look pretty awesome, and provide excellent traction on indoor wooden flooring. I'm sure they will be suitable for outdoor courts as well. Materials and shoe construction seem to be acceptable but have not had them long enough to see how well they are going to hold up over time.
I found the insoles a bit lacking and were changed after wearing them one time; just a bit thin for me; I prefer an insole that has better arch support and better cushioning. Lots to choose from there. With new insoles the Python's feel great!
Unless these shoes come apart after a couple of months of wear, I'll have no issues purchasing them again.

shoes are great indoor shoe. I ordered a 1/2 size larger, as suggested, the fit was perfect including the Zelus insoles I added. the arch support could be a little better.

I purchased these shoes over one year ago and use them exclusively indoors to play Pickleball. I love them! They have good traction and offer excellent support. I've received many compliments on how good they look. I am going to order another pair to have in reserve.

I normally wear a 9 1/2 so after seeing they run small I ordered a 10 and they fit great. I really like these shoes as they are super comfortable. I play several times a week and they only seem to last about 3 to 4 months but I think that's normal for as much as I play. Highly recommend them for the price.

I bought both indoor and outdoor Python shoes and they are awesome. After rolling my ankle the doctor said I needed something that had more support than my running shoes. These shoes have plenty of support and lots of grip on the court. The literature is correct, they do run 1/2 size small. Another plus is the price.

Work well on the court.
Ed Gorth

I typically wear a 11 1/2 and sometimes a 12 and since the recommendation is to go 1/2 size larger, I purchased a size 12. They fit tight on my in-step, but length is fine. I almost returned for a 12 1/2, as they are difficult to get on and off, but since the toe length was fine, kept them. Very pleased with how they work on the court and they are becoming easier to get on and off. Definitely prefer a court shoe that was on the snug side versus being loose. Bottom line - satisfied with the purchase.

1/2 size small is correct

The shoes fit as PBG states, 1/2 size small. So when ordering, order a 1/2 size larger than you normally do.
I would have liked for there to be more cushion as one day of walking around in the shoes my feet felt flat. This requires one star deduction. But for the money, these shoes are a good value. They look pretty decent as well.

I've only used the shoes once but they definitely felt good! I usually wear a 10 or 10.5 so I bought 10.5 and they fit good. We'll see how they wear!

good shoe for the price! Size runs small

This is my second round buying this shoe. I've owned a pair for over three years. Shoe is solid, light and quick. Great shoe for the price.
My feet are size 10 1/2. I bought size 11 three years ago. Fit great.
I just ordered a replacement pair (same shoe) size 11 and this time the shoe is too small.
Bizarre. So plan accordingly.

I just purchased this shoe. As others said, fit is a bit snug compared to other brands but I usually wear a 12 and a 12 does fit.
I have only played on them for one session about 2 hours long. Mid support is good. I have a tendency to "roll" my ankle over on my right foot...this shoe felt stable and didn't feel like it wanted to roll over. court grip was ok but not as tacky as a true gum sole. for the $$, soo far a good choice

So far so good. I find it to be an honest fit for my size 11. They seem sturdier than another pair of Head shoes that I was wearing. Have only had them for a few weeks though so no 5 stars yet.

Python RBall shoe
David Robbins
05/01/2019
Verified Buyer
"I like the Gum sole for traction but unlike my previous shoe, it provides the traction without the typical squeaky noise. As mentioned by many, I had to order 1/2 size larger and it just fits but the shoe is a bit narrow and I typically wear a Med width. Wish it had width sizes but I saw none. If one has wider feet than ""narrow"" I suggest ordering perhaps a full size larger than normal. So far, they play well and traction is excellent."

This is the second pair of Python R/B shoes that I have bought. They are light weight, look good and play as advertised. Several of my fellow players have asked about the shoes and I can't say enough about them. They let me play like a much younger player, side to side motion is easy direction change and stopping is easy as well.
Plus is did not hurt to have Python gloves as a gift did not hurt either.

Shoes definitely run very small. I normally wear a size 9 and ordered a size 9 1/2. They are very tight, but I can get them on. The shoes grip well and I would recommend them, but do order at least 1 full size larger than you normally wear.
The shoes came with 2 free gloves, but I found no way to order anything but size large. I wear a small or medium.

I would not call this a mid as it not nearly as high as my Ektelon's but it is a good shoe. Gum sole gives good grip on the floor. Be sure to order 1/2 size larger as they run small. I have always worn a 9 1/2 but ordered a 10 and am very pleased. Well worth the money and I got a free glove.

My previous go-to rball shoe was discontinued, so I decided to give Python a try after reading other's reviews. It's the best value out there, especially with the added glove. As everyone else mentions, size up! I'm usually a 10.5 or 11. I called in and chatted with customer service before ordering. They convinced me to go 11.5 for the first time ever. It's the perfect fit. Shoe is a little stiff, but performs great. Traction was very noticeable improvement from what i had been wearing. I'm going to order another 2 while the price is right.

Great Fit and Traction

These Python Deluxe Indoor Mid Pickleball Shoes provided me with a great fit at very reasonable price. I play 3x a week. Comfortable shoe box and mid height provides great ankle support with sharp turns. Gum soles provide excellent traction provided the court floor is well maintained and you dedicate these shoes only for court play, not everyday wear. I use my own Superfeet insoles. Although I was initially skeptical, I bought the additional Court Grabber Kit and I found it provides excellent additional firm traction on dusty court floors whenever needed. The free bonus Python Deluxe Glove makes this deal a real value. Prompt delivery. Thanks PickleballGalaxy!

Definitely the lightest shoe I've worn on the court. Sole has the best grip in any shoe. Have worn them for a handful of matches and no problems. Actual size seemed good for me.

The shoe delivered to me are too small/ undersized.
The shoes are labeled 11, the box is labeled 11 , I’m guessing the manufacture mis-labeled
I’ll be returning these for a 1 size up exchange . Jan. 12, 2019

I needed new shoes so I went back to there I purchased my previous shoes...PickleballGalaxy. Good price and the free gloves were a plus. The best thing they did, which may not seem like much to some was, they sent a letter with the shoes to put them on and walk around in them for a while before returning them because the may not fit. When I was putting on the shoes the first time I thought, hey these don't fit; when I got them on they were tight and I wasn't happy. Then I remembered what the letter said; I put them on and walked around in them some; then I played in them; and they did seem to loosen up. Thanks for the heads up PickleballGalaxy. The obvious is not always obvious to everyone, so it don't hurt to educate a little.
