Stridez for Tennis & Pickleball

Get back to doubles.

Tennis and pickleball are about friends, rhythm and getting to the ball. Foot drop gets in the way of all three: your toe catches on the court, your first step feels hesitant, and you start wondering if you're holding your partner back.

Stridez helps you get back on the court. The slim Stridez shell runs behind your ankle and under your foot, and the padded dial strap locks it to your lower leg. Your foot stays at a natural angle, so your toes clear the court as you step instead of dragging or catching.

Why tennis and pickleball players choose Stridez

  • Fits inside your court shoes. The thin footplate slides into tennis and pickleball shoes. No bigger size needed.
  • Clear the court with every step. Fewer toe catches walking to the net, the baseline and between points.
  • More confidence in your footwork. When you're not thinking about your foot, you can think about the ball.
  • Light and low-profile. Discreet under leggings or track pants, in black or beige.
  • On in about a minute. Slide it on courtside, turn the dial, lace up, play.

Be honest with your game

Stridez is designed for walking and recreational play: social doubles, drills, rallying and casual pickleball. It holds your ankle at a fixed, natural angle, so it isn't built for competitive sprinting, hard side-to-side cutting or jumping. If that's your level of play, talk to your physical therapist first.

Tips for getting started

  1. Wear Stridez for everyday walking for a few days before you play.
  2. Start with drills or a casual hit before a full match.
  3. Pickleball's smaller court is a great place to ease back in.
  4. Re-check the dial between games so the fit stays snug.
