Ever since the show came out, there have been many good reviews on the show itself. With it's sleek design and low to ground feel, the show makes for one superb overall tennis shoe. Here are many customer reviews from tennis-warehouse.

There are also quite a few nice colorways with this line of the Nike tennis shoe.

Which is the best tennis shoe for my playing style?

ben

I really like to hang out behind the baseline, so I do a lot of side to side motions. But I also need to be able to sprint forward very quickly. The main shoe I have been looking at are Babolat Propulse 2 Titanium's, Adidas Barricade 6.0, Adidas CC Genius II, and Nike Air Court Ballistec 2.3. Also any reviews about how the shoes held up and how they feel. Thanks

Answer
What you described is what any tennis shoe is made for. They're all going to give you good support for side to side movement, and have good traction for changing direction quickly.

The biggest thing with tennis shoes is comfort. What fits your foot best? And this won't be the same from person to person. The other big thing is durability. If you wear down the outsoles quickly (from dragging your toe or sliding), you might want to get a shoe made to be more durable. This will usually come at a slight sacrifice in weight, as the thicker outsole will make the shoes a bit heavier.

So yeah... all the shoes you listed are quite popular shoes. Unfortunately, it's hard to know what you'll like best because nobody's foot is going to be quite the same as yours.

Tennis Players: what brand of tennis shoes do you prefer?

I'm a girl playing on a high school and summer team, and I wasn't sure which tennis shoes are the best based on comfort, speed, and stability. So far, the Nike zoom mystify IV and the Nike Lunarlite speed look good, but I'm not sure which to pick. Any suggestions?

Answer
Does the Nike brand fit your foot? I use Reebok because they have a larger toe area. The next consideration is sole color. Black is out in most clubs even when it's non-mar. www.tenniswarehouse.com will have some reviews on the different brands to look at. Another consideration is length of wear for the shoe. The reviews usually tell if they don't wear well. I use a black marker to date the insole of my shoe. I cycle my shoes where the newest pair I wear indoors then next season use them for outdoors then for work out shoes. My husband replaces the insoles when his start bothering his legs and knees. The stability of the foot bed is what wears out first.

What tennis shoes should I get?

Greenday20

Alright, I play tennis a lot. I am getting more serious and would to get good tennis shoes. I want Nike ones that look more like basketball shoes than tennis shoes. But indent know what they are called or where to get them. They somewhat resemble nike's KD III shoes. But are special made for tennis and are a little lower.

Where is the best place to buy tennis shoes?

I'm looking for a pair of tennis shoes since I've been playing regularly. Also, how do tennis shoes differ from other shoes? I'd like a pair that are relatively inexpensive.
Thanks.

Answer
I'm a shoe fanatic. I usually have two pairs of court shoes so that I can switch shoes and cut down on the wear and tear. But we can get into that later. Let's talk about shoes.

How are tennis shoes different?
1. Tennis shoes are constructed to provide good lateral support for all the quick changes in direction. If you try playing tennis in running shoes you could very well sprain an ankle if you change directions too quickly and roll out of your shoe.
2. Another difference is that tennis shoes are usually reinforced in the toes to keep all the world's "toe-draggers" from wearing holes in the front of their shoes.
3. And the last big difference is that tennis shoes are usually made with a more durable material for the outsole.

What should you keep in mind when choosing a shoe?
1. The surface that you play on. Shoe manufacturers make different outsoles for the different surfaces. Shoes for hard courts will traditionally have a herringbone pattern. However, these soles don't do well on clay because the herringbone gets clogged with clay and you'll lose all your traction. If you play on clay, then you'll want a shoe with more of a wide-open pattern on the sole. Also, if you play on hard courts, you'll want a shoe with a good durable outsole. Most manufacturers make shoes with guarantees of different lengths--meaning that if you wear through your sole in six months they'll replace your shoes.
2. Weight is an important factor as well. There is a manufacturer that I don't like (I'll leave them unnamed to not bias your decision) because I feel like I'm wearing a pair of M1 tanks on my feet. I don't mind a heavier shoe for other sports, but for tennis it really bothers me.
3. And finally, you'll want to keep the fit in mind. Traditionally, Adidas have a narrower footbox and Nikes end up being kind of middle ground. But that doesn't mean that there aren't exceptions within their lines. There is also the difference in foot type. If you pronate/supinate then you may want to stay away from different shoes. Actually, Tennis magazine has really good shoe reviews. You may want to check that out, because they discuss fit. www.tennis.com

Where to buy? I usually buy over the internet. But that's because I know which shoe lines fit my feet well. You'll want to be able to try your shoes first. Look around at your local sporting goods stores and possibly at a local racquet club/tennis store. If you want to buy online, tennis warehouse is where I usually shop. They have user reviews online and lots of sales. You may want to check out Wilson's line of shoes, because they have good shoes that aren't too pricey and most come with guarantees.

Anyway, good luck in your search. Let me know if I can be of more help.

What are the advantages of wearing shoes specifically made for tennis compared to cross trainers, for example?

Jrg M

I've read reviews of people saying how the sole of their tennis shoes wore out in a few months. That's because the sole of tennis shoes are thin. Cross trainers have much thicker tread. And I play tennis in them. How would it improve my playing, if I wore tennis specific shoes? Somebody once claimed that the heel of tennis shoes is lower, thus making for better balance while hitting the ball. Somebody else claimed they have better lateral support.

Well? :)

Answer
Have you ever seen the soles of tennis with curvy patterns. that is built for a better grip in lawn and clay. and yes you can use other suitable shoes on hard court although they lack some specific features that shoes built especially for tennis have like one may experience some problems with side ways running and recovering. Tennis shoes are specially built for instant grip which may not be available in others. And you may even experience some knee pains if you don't use right kinda shoes for tennis.

Tennis shoes are a little different than other shoes, because of the tremendous need for lateral support. Unlike a running shoe, where the concern is mostly for forward motion, tennis shoes must endure the constant action of sideways starts and stops. Also, tennis shoes will usually have reinforced toe and heel pads because of the fact that tennis players will often drag the toe or heel of the shoe across the court creating a lot of wear and tear in those areas.
