Checklist tennis shoes for kids

Which sole for which surface?
  • If your child is just practicing their first serves, you should choose a model that is as versatile as possible. It is important that the respective sole is suitable for the area on which your child plays most often.
  • There are tennis shoes for kids that are designed for indoor courts and those that can be worn outdoors.
  • Some models are absolute all-rounders whose soles are suitable for all surfaces. These tennis shoes have a rather light profile, while typical indoor shoes have an abrasion-resistant sole.
  • Outdoor tennis shoes have a pronounced tread. The more professionally your child plays, the more you can refine the selection.
  • High-quality tennis shoes for kids have soles with profiles that are individually adapted to sandy, hard court or indoor surfaces.
The upper
  • Most tennis shoes are made of synthetic material, artificial leather or natural leather. It is important that the upper material is flexible and durable.
  • To support the foot, the edge of the shoe should be slightly reinforced. This provides better support and additional cushioning during the many stop-and-go movements in the dynamic game.
  • The risk of injury from twisting an ankle is significantly reduced thanks to lateral supports.
  • It is very good if the tennis shoe has ventilation. Small ventilation holes or mesh inserts, for example, can ensure pleasant air permeability.
The inner material
  • A tennis match can last a very long time. Therefore, the inner material should definitely be breathable to prevent excessive sweating. Inner material with antibacterial properties also reduce the formation of odors.
  • Our tip: The tennis shoe should allow about a finger’s width of clearance for the toes and not be too tight. Otherwise, this can become uncomfortable during fast forward sprints.
The sole material
  • The sole is usually made of rubber or synthetic. An additional EVA layer provides optimal cushioning and protects the ankles during the jumps.
  • Tip: Your child will be happy to have a good tennis shoe with absorbent cushions. Cushions made of gel or rubber, for example, attached to the heels and balls of the feet increase wearing comfort.
Size
  • The size of the tennis shoe can be adjusted to the size of other shoes such as sports shoes for physical education.
  • It tends to always make sense for children who are growing to take one size larger rather than too small.
