Are basketball shoes good for tennis?
- Jul, 11 2023
- 0
In my recent exploration, I delved into whether basketball shoes can be good for tennis. While both sports require agility and swift movements, the shoes are designed differently to cater to the specific needs of each sport. Basketball shoes are typically heavier with higher ankles to support jumps and quick directional changes, whereas tennis shoes are lighter with a lower profile for speed and lateral support. So, while you can wear basketball shoes for a casual tennis game, for serious play, tennis shoes are a better choice. They will provide the best support and help prevent injury, making your game safer and more efficient.
