What to Look For in a Tennis Shoe by Roberto Sedycias

Playing tennis is a rewarding and often challenging sport. It can push you to your outer limits and test all of your strength and endurance. Tennis players need to play prepared in the right outfit. A proper tennis outfit and comfortable shoes are key to playing well and not injuring your feet and legs while you`re doing so.

There are many aspects to picking out tennis shoes that come into play as your looking. There is of course style and that maybe just what draws you to a pair of shoes. Some people also take brand name into account as it may be a name that is trusted and recognized by its advertising and frequent viewing on the tennis courts. Often a particular shoe can be recommended by tennis pro or someone who even works in a shoe store. Sometimes celebrity`s names and pro tennis players have their name attached with a product, and that may also be a factor in the one you choose. Aside from the way it looks, its name, popularity and color, you probably will want to know what kind of shoe you are getting. What it is made up of and what can it do to improve you and your game style.

Several components make up a great tennis shoe. Is it light weight or is it clunky and heavy? Pick up the shoe you like and see how much it weighs in your hand, and then try it on your feet. Does it feel nice to walk around in? Is it light to the touch? The lighter it is, the faster you may be when dashing around the courts. Does the shoe breathe? Is it well ventilated? Points to consider when looking at your shoe of choice. Inspect the shoe thoroughly for breathable points. Does the shoe have a guarantee? Some shoes offer a limited time offer on the way it will hold up, that kind of guarantee might say that it is of great quality. Does your shoe give great support and ultimate traction? It will need to, if you`re going to run all about swinging at the ball and not fall down on a misty day.

Some shoes offer personal features. You can have them with midfoot shanks, moulded heel counters, rubber outside pivot points, toe bumpers and max air cushioning, you can also buy them in Flywire and Lunarlite technology. These extra features might be just the thing you`re looking for in a tennis shoe. You might want to also find a tennis shoe that offers a feature where it is wearable right out of the box, where as some shoes need to be broken in before play so you don`t end up with a million blisters. You will want to find a shoe that fits you snug and all tennis shoes offer different sizing, it is important to find out how the company`s sizing works, you might have to go up or down a size to have it fit nice and snug.

Finding a tennis shoe that you love will take some careful shopping and investigating. There are shoes to fit all levels and some shoes that claim to work well for elite players or aggressive ones. If you are a fantastic player who plays aggressively you might want to get a shoe that caters to that so you don`t wear it out. There are also high performance shoes that will give you the lift you need as you dive around for tennis balls on the court. Buying tennis shoes will be an issue that will come up through-out the year so it is essential to know what kind of shoes work for you to make selecting one fast and easy.
