Overview
The mesh upper should allow airflow, while synthetic overlays add support around the foot. A reinforced synthetic toe helps protect against court contact and repeated wear. Reviewers describe the upper as durable and supportive during intense indoor use.
The EVA-cushioned midsole is designed to soften foot strikes during long sessions. Its non-marking rubber outsole uses multidirectional tread for grip when you cut, stop, and change direction. That setup fits indoor pickleball best, especially on polished courts where dependable lateral traction matters.
On court
Players and reviewers praise the Ligra 7's grip, comfort, and secure feel during court movement. The multidirectional rubber outsole supports traction in several directions, while the overlays help the upper stay stable during lateral cuts. Reviewers also report good durability from the upper and outsole during frequent use.
The cushioning can make extended sessions more comfortable, but this remains an indoor court shoe rather than an outdoor pickleball model. If you regularly play on rough outdoor surfaces, choose footwear with an outsole intended for that wear.
Fit and sizing
Reviewers describe the fit as snug and supportive, while sizing guides list it as true to size. Start with your usual adidas size, but check the fit carefully if you need extra forefoot room.
Best for
- Mostly indoor pickleball courts
- Players who make frequent lateral cuts
- Players who want a non-marking outsole

- Reviewers praise its cushioning, durability, and secure fit
Things to consider

- The available fit advice points to true-to-size sizing, but foot shape still matters
- Its cushioning and support suit court use, not general running
