Whats the difference between tennis shoe and running shoes?

i%26#039;m taking a tennis class at school and teacher told us %26quot;tennis shoes required. no running shoes.%26quot; but whats the difference?

Whats the difference between tennis shoe and running shoes?
Running shoes have a higher lift, because of the added cushioning and the angle needed to keep a body forward position.


The soles of running shoes have a more %26quot;teethy%26quot; sole for traction for many different terrains! Runners do not shuffle side to side like tennis players so a running shoe will not offer the same lateral support as a true tennis shoe. The %26quot;teethy%26quot; sole of a running shoe is potentially dangerous in that it can %26quot;catch%26quot; the surface during those low to the ground shuffle movements. And because of the higher lift, turning an ankle in a running shoe can be very serious and very painful. Also if you are taking lessons on clay courts, often called soft courts, running shoes will tear the surface up, thus making the courts themselves dangerous to play on!


As a tennis coach who teaches on clay courts I strongly recommend finding a local or not local tennis shop to advise you on the style and fit that will best suit your level and the surface you are playing on!





Good Luck!
Reply:A tennis shoe is flat on the bottome, to help you move swifter and helps to protect against injuries, especially in your ankle. Running shoes help you run faster since they help creat traction.
Reply:tennis shoes have a more flat bottom
Reply:a tennis shoe has a more flat bottom, because in tennis your shoes need to be as flat as they can or you%26#039;ll run the risk of rolling your ankle. running shoes have more tread on the bottom to create more traction.

Reply:tennis shoes are made of predominantly leather (rather than mesh mix running shoes). This adds support. Moreover they have flat bottom soles with herringbone pattern pressed in

but with more pattern in between the gaps.


they are also not raised as high in the heel to provide better stability for lateral movement, and to help prevent ankle rolling.


the shoes also have bracing around the foot made of a hard rubber or plastic, coming down from or up to the laces around the foot.for lateral movement support and to prevent foot from moving around in shoe.
Reply:tennis shoes have flatter soulsfr better grip on flat surfaces...this is because the tennis courts are always flat ......while running shoes are ment for all surfaces nd there soul are modified for the same
