What are tennis shoes?

It%26#039;s my first time joining my highschool%26#039;s tennis team and the coach said we need tennis shoes...I%26#039;m not quite sure what to look for. I have a good pair of Nike Shox, and I%26#039;ve used them before on the court. Would those do? If not, where can I find a good, affordable pair?

What are tennis shoes?
Tennis shoes are more flat and have a different sort of grip on the bottom of the shoe specifically designed to grip a tennis court. Unfortunately for you, Nike Shox are not a form of tennis shoe, and if you continue to use them they will eventually start to fall apart due to wear and tear. If you go to any sporting goods store that sells shoes, they usually have a section just for tennis shoes. Some pairs are as cheap as thirty dollars, but they do not come with a warranty and tend to wear out more easily. I suggest getting either Adidas or Nike brand tennis shoes, which are a bit more expensive but come with a warranty so that if you wear them out the company will send you a new pair. So look at the price of the shoes as if you are paying for two pairs. I hope this was helpful to you. (P.S. Adidas tends to usually make heavier shoes than Nike, so decide between the two by establishing if you would prefer heavy or light shoes.)
Reply:Tennis shoes have a flat, white sole. Nike Shox aren%26#039;t tennis shoes. Unfortunately, tennis shoes are not extremely cheap, but if you google %26quot;tennis sneakers%26quot; you may get some discount stores.

Reply:they have flat bottoms. pretty much addais ordinals, i played tennis for a long time, any shoes will do in my opinion, skills what matters lol.
Reply:Get shoes at www.tenniswarehouse.com . I like the Barricades of adidas. Although they are about 110 dollars US, they are worth it because it last for a very long time. I have the Barricade 1 and they have lasted me for already 3 months. My shoes usually last less than a month but those barricades last for a very long time. If you dont like heavy shoes, dont get the barricade but get Nike. Just check out the shoes at tenniswarehouse.

Reply:when he said tennis shoes thats what he meant ur shoes r fine
Reply:you can buy some shoes in the shoe shops.
Reply:Nike Shox seem to be just running shoes. If they have a heavy tread (not very smooth) they may not be very good for tennis. You might check with the coach. Most shoe stores, expecially in Malls, have shoes made for tennis.
Reply:Go to tenniswarehouse.com and look at their shoes. Those are tennis shoes. What you have (Nike shox) are running shoes and designed for running, not the lateral movements you%26#039;ll need on the court. Tennis shoes give you more stability on side to side movements. Plus running shoes might mark up a tennis court. You really should get some tennis shoes or you might turn your ankle on the tennis court.





IMO, Nike tennis shoes have no cushion and everyone wears them. I like Fila, they are cute and they feel great and no one else has them, so I like to be different. I also have a few pairs of Wilson Tour I and Tour II - these are great, durable shoes. Prince makes good shoes. Adidas is too heavy for me and Nike just has no cushion. Here are 3 sites that are good sellers - there are many shoes on sale - just look at the different brands.
