How to Choose Your Next Pair of Squash Shoes

Look for these three key features to find the best women's squash shoes for your game.

Gum Rubber Outsoles

This is non-negotiable for squash. Gum rubber is a soft, grippy material that provides exceptional traction on hardwood indoor courts. It allows you to stop on a dime and change direction with confidence.

Ankle and Lateral Support

Squash involves constant, aggressive side-to-side movement. Your shoes need a reinforced structure, especially around the midfoot and ankle, to prevent your foot from rolling. This stability is the key difference in specialized indoor shoes.

Low-Profile Cushioning

Proper squash shoes have cushioning to absorb the impact of lunges and jumps, but they also keep you low to the ground. This provides a stable base and a better feel for the court, allowing for more responsive movement.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a difference between squash shoes and tennis shoes?

Yes, a significant one. Tennis shoes are typically heavier and designed for forward motion with some lateral support. Squash shoes are lighter, lower to the ground, and built with enhanced reinforcement specifically for extreme side-to-side movements. They also feature softer gum rubber soles for superior grip on indoor wood courts.

Are running shoes okay for squash?

No, running shoes are unsafe for squash. They are designed exclusively for forward motion and have thick, soft heels that can easily roll during a lateral lunge, leading to a high risk of ankle injury. Their outsoles also lack the proper grip for a wood court.

Which type of shoes are best for squash?

The best shoes for squash are specifically designed indoor court shoes. These shoes have non-marking gum rubber outsoles for traction, strong lateral support to protect your ankles during side-to-side movements, and a low-profile design for stability.

What are the best squash shoes?

The "best" pair depends on your foot shape and preferences. However, top brands like ASICS, Salming, and Head are consistently rated highest by squash players for their durability, support, and on-court performance. The best models offer a strong balance of grip, stability, and comfort.
