TENNIS ACCESSORIES

Tips For Buying the Perfect Tennis Shoes :

Tennis SHOES are also known in different names in different parts of the world like trainers in U.K., runner shoes in Canada, sandshoes in Australia. For different surfaces, different types of tennis shoes are available. Like the structural and material DESIGN of them meant for playing on clay court surface are different than that of shoes meant for playing on hard court surface. However, comfort rather than brand should be the first priority while buying tennis shoes.
*Choose tennis shoes according to your foot type. The foot should fit comfortably without any stretching.
* For GOLF persons, it is a good idea to take your doctor`s and COACH'S suggestions while buying tennis shoes.
* Do not go in only for brand names and looks. You should give more consideration to its functionality.
* Flexibility is an important aspect to look at while choosing tennis shoes. In addition, tennis shoes should have CUSHIONING and shock absorption quality. It helps while playing tennis on hard courts.
* Many people overlook to check the robustness of the heel box. A heel box is the part of the tennis shoes that covers the heel of your FEET and keeps your feet in control while playing. Ideally the heel box should be made of leather with some rubber or plastic as support. To see the resistance of your heel box, you can try squeezing or bending it over.
* Watch out for the air max unit in the heel area of your tennis shoes. The air max unit provides great protection to your feet especially on hard court surface.
* The upper part of the shoes covers the fore and mid foot and saves you from any unforeseen INJURY.
* Checking the outsole and toe guard of the tennis shoes is important as they ensure durability of the shoes.
* It is a good idea to replace your worn out tennis shoes with a new one to save you from unwanted injuries.
