How To Choose Tennis Court Shoes

The best way to find out how to choose tennis court shoes is by going to a tennis specialty store. The sales personnel will direct you to the type of shoe you are looking for, and then you can narrow down your selection. Whether you want low top tennis court shoes, or high tops for extra ankle support, a specialty store should have what you need. Once you find the brand you like, consider searching online for a store that may have the shoes for a better price.

1. Before you buy tennis court shoes, check out what the pros are wearing. Watch a few matches on television, or pick up a tennis magazine. Find the brand and style that your favorite pro wears. If the shoes are something you would like to wear, write down the brand name and style of shoe and head out to the closest sporting goods or shoe store.
2. Find a store that sells tennis shoes, and have your foot measurements taken. Try on a variety of different styles and brands, including the ones that you saw your favorite player wearing. Once you choose tennis court shoes that you like, remember the price and then do some comparison shopping at a few other stores. Look online as well, since there are many websites that sell tennis court shoes.
3. Buy the tennis court shoes when you find a good price. If you are purchasing the shoes online, remember the size information you received at the shoe store. Some brands are slightly different than others when it comes to sizing. If you are choosing tennis court shoes other than the pair you originally selected, you may want to go to a local store and try on that brand. This way you will know the exact size to order from the online vendor.
4. Once you receive your order, break in the tennis court shoes. If you find that the shoes are nice to look at but a bit non-functional due to your foot size or style of play, consider wearing them off the court and not to play in. This can be expensive since you will have to buy another pair of shoes to use when you play. However, by only wearing the tennis court shoes while playing instead of also wearing them off the court, they will last longer.
