subject: Top Tennis Shoes [print this page] Tennis is an amazing sportTennis is an amazing sport. It has a long history that started in the United Kingdom and still enjoys popularity today. It is an extremely competitive sport with a lot of short stops and change of directions. Having the right footwear is really important for your safety. It can also have a great effect on your performance on the courts as well. When buying tennis shoes, you should try to determine your playing style. Maybe you are more of a serve and volley type of player. Maybe you like to hit hard from the baseline. These two style do lend themselves towards specific types of tennis shoes. Possibly more importantly, you should try to find some shoes that are really comfortable. Yet, tennis shoes do not just need to be functional. They can look great and you can look great wearing them as well. As the sport has evolved over the years, so has its fashion. Just take a look at the history of Wimbledon to see an example. The fashion used to be up tight all white. Then comes Andre Agassi to shake things up with some color and some flair. Today, there are just too many great looking footwear options.
To see some proof of how awesome these shoes can look while not playing tennis, check out the casual look. Here you can find lots of stylish shoes that can be worn with lots of different outfits. White ones will look great with some worn jeans and a white hoodie top. More colorful ones will also look great if you can find matching wind breaker jackets to go along with them. I love these looks because they are casual and sporty, but also really comfortable. They all come at a good price too so you can pick up more than one pair to go along with different outfit ideas that you may have. But be sure to keep the shoes clean. It looks really cheap if you wear a pair for 5 years with any outfit.
Most tennis players in the US will probably play on hard surfaces, so it is important to get the right type of shoes to play on the hard court. I remember when I was fourteen I actually broke my ankle playing tennis on a hard court because I did not have the right shoes. So please remember safety first and find the right pair that fits what you are trying to do while playing tennis. Typically, these shoes will go with tennis shorts and a tennis tee shirt. Keep the colors simple and it will be a great look.
For softer surfaces, try out the clay tennis shoes. These shoes were built to give you the right cushion and traction on clay or grass surfaces. I am sure you have seen matches on television where professionals are sliding all over the court to chase down balls. While not everyone is a professional, everyone can feel safe and perform to the best of their ability with the right tennis shoes.
