Nox AT10 Lux Limited Edition White Padel Shoe - Pre Order
Nox vs. Asics
-
Length: The length sizing is virtually identical. If you wear a US 9.5 (EU 43) in an Asics shoe like the Gel Resolution, you will almost certainly take the same size in a Nox shoe (like the AT10 or ML10 Hexa).
-
Width & Fit: Asics is famous for having a narrower, highly locked-in, snug fit. Nox shoes are built with a more standard-to-generous width. If Asics shoes usually feel a bit tight on your midfoot or toes, Nox will feel noticeably more spacious and comfortable out of the box.
Nox vs. Nike
-
Length: Nike tennis and court shoes notoriously run a bit small or short. You may find that Nox fits slightly longer than Nike for the same printed size.
-
Width & Fit: Similar to Asics, Nike shoes are often built on a narrow last. Nox will offer a roomier toe box. If you normally have to size up a half-size in Nike just to get enough width, you can likely order your true, standard size in Nox.
Sizing Advice for Padel
Because padel involves frequent, aggressive forward sprints and abrupt stops, you never want your toes hitting the end of the shoe.
-
Stick to your Asics size if you have it, as the length translation is highly reliable.
-
When in doubt, go up. If you are ever caught between two sizes, always opt for the larger half-size. Feet swell during play, and extra space in the forefoot prevents blisters and jammed toes.
