Skechers Viper Court technology ↑ menu
Skechers Viper Court technology revolves around three pillars: the Arch Fit® insole (with arch support and the APMA seal), lightweight cushioning —ULTRA GO® in the Pro 2.0, ULTRA FLIGHT® in the Reload and Move Foam in the Rally— and the Goodyear® outsole for braking and controlled slides on court.
The Arch Fit® insole is Skechers' hallmark: an arch-support system developed from more than 120,000 foot scans and bearing the seal of the APMA (American Podiatric Medical Association). Add to that the Goodyear® outsole, which brings durability and control on slides, and on the laceless models the Hands-Free Slip-ins® system with a Heel Pillow®, which holds the heel and lets you get in hands-free. The Relaxed Fit® shape gives extra room at the toe for greater comfort.
According to Skechers, the Viper Court Pro 2.0 is its most advanced court shoe, with lateral stability designed for the game's aggressive changes of direction.
Fit, sizing and comfort ↑ menu
The Skechers Viper Court use a Relaxed Fit® shape, which gives a bit more room at the toe and forefoot. If you're between two sizes, that extra room lets you play with confidence; and if you have wide feet, it's one of their advantages. To get it right first time, check the store's size guide.
Comfort is this range's big selling point: the Arch Fit® insole is noticeable from day one and the Relaxed Fit® shape keeps long matches from feeling cramped. The Reload adds the laceless system, ideal if adjusting laces bothers you or you want to get in and out quickly. For any sizing doubts, open our size guide.
