The 10 Best tennis Shoes – Guide

Due to many quick changes of direction , tennis players need the necessary grip, especially on slippery surfaces. To ensure sufficient grip and stability, the right tennis shoes. You can find out which sole is suitable for which court and much more in our checklist. We have put together a great selection of tennis shoes for you in our product recommendations.

Checklist for Tennis Shoes

Fit
  • Tennis shoes must fit perfectly so that your feet are enclosed evenly and not too tightly. Your feet should have as little room to move as possible in the shoes, but they should also not be constricted.
  • If the shoe presses too hard, blisters and sores can quickly develop, and not just in the early days. Whether you prefer lace-up shoes or shoes with Velcro fasteners depends entirely on your personal preferences. The lacing has practically no influence on the fit.
Sole
  • When it comes to tennis shoes, you have the choice between all-round tennis shoes that are suitable for any tennis court surface and special shoes for different surfaces. Depending on which sole you choose, the grip of the shoes is better on grass or on hard courts.
  • You should therefore be able to estimate approximately on which tennis court surfaces you play most often or, if necessary, buy two or three pairs of optimally adapted tennis shoes.
Damping
  • Playing tennis puts a lot of stress on your knees due to the rapid changes in direction and abrupt braking.
  • A good tennis shoe should have sufficient cushioning properties to relieve the strain on your knees and legs all the way up your back. Ideally, the cushioning is adapted to the court surface. Hard courts require better cushioned shoes than grass courts.
Upper Material
  • The upper material of a tennis shoe should be flexible, yet tear-resistant . To prevent you from sweating in the shoes, a breathable upper material is recommended.
  • Tennis shoes today are therefore almost exclusively made of synthetic materials with fine ventilation pores. Mesh-like textiles known as mesh provide excellent ventilation.
  • Tennis shoes made of genuine leather are now rarely found. Despite the natural material, they are not very breathable and are also relatively heavy.
Weight
  • The weight of a tennis shoe also plays a role in the selection. Tennis shoes should be light but stable. Here again, tennis shoes made of synthetic materials have an advantage.
  • The lighter the shoes are, the faster you are on the tennis court. The difference is not very big, but it is noticeable.
