Review of the Acacia FreshShot Shoe

I received a pair of the Acacia FreshShot Shoes just before the holidays. We were headed to a pickleball camp in the Bahamas, and because I hadn’t had a chance to wear them, I decided to leave them at home for testing later. I should have taken them with me!

The FreshShot is a new addition to Acacia’s lineup, along with the Dreamshot and Clearshot models. While their traditional shoes are still available, they are now in limited quantities.

The FreshShot is an excellent shoe for pickleball, designed to enhance lateral motion. It is a wider-fitting Endurance/Power pickleball shoe engineered to provide superior traction and stability, allowing for quick, confident, and explosive movements during play.

Key Features

  • Cloud Gel Insoles: These insoles offer just the right amount of cushioning with massaging nodules to enhance airflow and relieve pressure, keeping you comfortable from warm-up to the last game.
  • EVA Foam Midsole: Provides optimal shock absorption, reducing stress on joints and giving you the energy return needed to stay nimble on the court.
  • Flexible Lattice Shell and Vent Chamber: Promotes air circulation and temperature regulation near the arch during play.
  • Reinforced Pressure Points: Designed to support specific pickleball play patterns, these shoes provide support and absorb impact, with extra durability built into the forefoot for protection during sliding and dragging movements.

Personal Experience

Acacia shoes have been my go-to choice for a couple of years now, and they have consistently met my expectations. While many companies focus on improving paddle technology, Acacia is dedicated to advancing pickleball shoe technology, a crucial yet often overlooked aspect of the game.
