Are You Interested In Tennis Shoes

Tennis shoes are not just to play tennis in of course because the term can describe any type of shoe that is used for athletic play

. These shoes used to be made of rubber and canvas but now many athletic shoes are made of special polymers and rugged leather. Famous athletes endorse different models of athletic shoe which makes that particular shoe more expensive. Some people will don footwear named after a famous athlete and then refuse to play sports in the footwear for fear of getting the shoe dirty.

People who looking for footwear for the actual game of tennis have a large selection to pick from. The main purpose of the shoe is to offer support, comfort, and durability, during the game. The game can take place on clay, lawn, or on concrete. Most people play on concrete because lawn, or grass, and clay, is reserved for the country club scene.

Unless one is a member of a high society country club, one will probably hitting the ball back and forth on a concrete court. The concrete court will take its toll on foot gear especially if it is a slow court. The slow court has a rougher surface and is made for players who like a slower paced game. The fast court has a smoother surface so the ball travels faster when it hits the concrete.

The fast court is fast because the surface is smoother and the ball will skid off the smooth surface faster and thus travel faster. The smooth court does not wear the shoe down as fast as the slow court. Players who use slow courts will have to replace their shoes more often than players that play on fast courts.

Some people have a tendency to roll their ankle so they will need to have a wide based heel on their athletic shoe. Some people like high tops, some like low tops, while others cannot play in high tops or even low tops and choose standard tops. The high tops offer a lot of support because they wrap around the ankle.

Low tops wrap around the ankle but they do not wrap as high as the high top shoe. Many people like the support of the low top without the extra binding that comes with the high top model. Some people feel that their foot is not allowed enough freedom with either of these models and choose the regular fitting shoe.

The player needs to feel comfortable on the court if he is to have fun. If he has to constantly think about how his feet feel he will not concentrate on the game. The game can be hard on footwear especially for players who drag their toe after a forehand or backhand. Some footwear comes with ribbed toes pads for players who find that the toes of their footwear wear out prematurely.

Tennis shoes can refer to any type of athletic footwear used for any type of athletic activity from basketball to baseball to badminton. But people who need athletic foot gear for the game of tennis itself need foot gear that offers support. They also need foot gear that is comfortable and durable because the court takes a toll on the shoe.
