Why Tennis Shoes Matter
Tennis places unique demands on your feet, including sudden stops, explosive side-to-side movement, and constant changes in direction. Unlike running shoes, tennis shoes are engineered to provide lateral stability, court-specific grip, and durability for repeated impact.
Wearing the right tennis shoes helps improve performance while reducing the risk of slips, ankle strain, and foot fatigue.

Tennis Shoes – Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between tennis shoes and running shoes?
Tennis shoes are designed for lateral movement, quick stops, and direction changes. Running shoes focus on forward motion and don’t provide the same level of side-to-side support needed on a tennis court.
How do I choose the right tennis shoes?
Choose tennis shoes based on the court surface you play on, how often you play, and the level of cushioning and support you prefer. Proper fit and stability are essential for comfort and injury prevention.
Do I need different tennis shoes for different court surfaces?
All-court tennis shoes are suitable for most surfaces, including hard courts. Clay court shoes feature a herringbone tread pattern designed to improve grip and controlled sliding on clay courts.
How should tennis shoes fit?
Tennis shoes should feel snug but comfortable, with secure heel support, a stable midfoot, and enough room in the toe box to move your toes without slipping.
Are tennis shoes important for beginners?
Yes. Tennis shoes provide the stability, grip, and support beginners need to move confidently and safely on court, reducing the risk of slips and injuries.
