DAPS Pickleball Shoes Featured by The Kitchen

We’re proud to share that The Kitchen, one of pickleball’s most trusted voices, recently highlighted DAPS in their coverage of the best shoes for the sport.

In their article, The Kitchen told the story of how the Goldstein brothers and longtime friend Keith Goldberg—fourth-generation shoemakers—set out to create a performance-driven shoe designed specifically for pickleball. Unlike other brands repurposing tennis shoes, DAPS was built from the ground up for the unique movements of the game.

The coverage spotlighted how DAPS shoes deliver:

• Faster starts and quicker stops

• Greater energy return and efficiency

• Superior comfort with the Blumaka NonSlip insole

• Enhanced stability with a carbon fiber shank

The Kitchen also noted that pro players, including those on their own MLP team—the Nashville Chefs—have already made the switch to DAPS.

We’re grateful to see DAPS recognized by leaders in the pickleball community and excited to continue pushing performance forward in the sport.
