Can I wear volleyball court shoes on the tennis court?
They should be fine for a while. Soles of tennis shoes generally lasts longer since they are made to withstand all kinds of surfaces. If you look at the ridges on the soles of the shoes, they are made for traction specifically for the movements on the tennis court. Volleyball shoes don%26#039;t have that characteristic. There is not enough lateral support on the volleyball shoes either. If you just started playing, those shoes should work alright. If you are into the sport hardcore, you should get the shoes that specifically is made for tennis. In the long run, the tennis shoes would protect you and your feet
Reply:Since they are non marking wearing them should be fine
Reply:As long as they don%26#039;t leave a mark on the court you will be allowed to wear them. Many volleyball shoes provide adequate side support, but you should see if your volleyball shoes have this. If it lacks side support, then lateral movement might be awkward.
Reply:so long as there non marking, they should be fine.


make sure they%26#039;re comfy though
Reply:Volley ball shoes are bascally made to handle indoor sports like bad minton or raquet ball whereas tennis is played indoors,outdoors,on clay,grass,carpet,or hard courts if the shoe fits and your comfortable in them ,wear them.
Reply:I%26#039;m pretty sure it doesnt matter as much, as long as your comfortable. I have a friend who play in DC%26#039;s and he seems fine with it...but sometimes our coach tells him to get regular tennis shoes, but thats only because our club is strict(we have to wear all white all the time..ugh i hate it) but yah as long as your comfortable and you can play in them.
