Your Questions About Court Shoes Tennis

Helen asks…

What are good tennis shoes for cushion and support?

My dad and I are going to be playing a lot of USTA mixed doubles this summer. He has had a lot fo trouble in the past couple years with bone spurs. What would be a good court shoe that provides a lot of cushioning and support for him? Links to shoes are also appreciated. Thanks for your help!

Our pick of the answers:

Tennis warehouse has been having a pretty big sale on last years shoes recently, thats a good place to start. There are a lot of high quality shoes for pretty good prices. For starters, Nike Breathe Free IIs are on sale, with just about every size in. They've been around for quite awhile, but a lot of people still wear them, and they had a huge pro following for awhile (still do, to an extent). I've heard good things about the cushioning, and it looks like the support is top notch. Here's the link: http://www.tennis-warehouse.com/descpageMSNIKE-AMBFWBG.html Another good looking shoe is the Lotto Syn Raptor 2. Most sizes are in stock, and they're the same price as the Breathe Frees. They look pretty impressive, and the comfort scores are high. The support is somewhat lower, but that seemed to be a matter of opinion. And though this too is opinion, I think they look really cool. Here they are: http://www.tennis-warehouse.com/Reviews/LMSR2W/LMSR2WReview.html Really, the sale section of Tennis Warehouse is a good place to start. Hope that helps!

Lizzie asks…

What are some zero drop tennis shoes?

I love the idea of shoes that provide me with a natural stance and action. I enjoy and play a lot of tennis, so I need an actual shoe that cushions and has some support; but I want one that is of zero drop. What tennis shoes have zero drop? Or what zero drop shoes can be used for tennis or court play?

Our pick of the answers:

There are no zero drop tennis shoes. If the minimalist shoe movement catches on, I think the major tennis shoe makers will make some.
