UnisexUnisex Achilles and Ankle Support High Performance Compression Socks$26.99
Pickleball Socks
Good pickleball socks have cushioning under the forefoot, where you push off, a reinforced heel and Achilles zone for quick stops, and fabric that pulls sweat away to cut down on blisters. Pick the height by what you want supported: ankle-height socks for the Achilles, over-the-calf socks for the whole lower leg.

When to see a physio
Heel or Achilles pain that lasts more than two weeks, swelling in your feet or ankles, or blisters that keep coming back in the same spot. The Achilles and ankle page covers what to watch for.
Questions
Look for forefoot cushioning, a reinforced heel and Achilles area, a snug fit that doesn't slide in your shoe, and moisture-wicking fabric. Socks that hold sweat cause blisters.
