Men's tennis shoes

Why choose men's tennis shoes according to your level?

Just like sportswear, tennis shoes come in a range of models to suit individual needs. Tennis beginners don't have the same expectations as experts. This has repercussions not only on the choice of racket, but also on the choice of shoes. Beginners, for example, are known for their low intensity of movement. Experienced players, on the other hand, are much more aggressive on court. In these conditions, it's important to choose shoes with good lateral grip and increased durability in wear areas.

How to choose men's tennis shoes?

The level of play is not the only criterion to consider when choosing a pair of men's tennis shoes. You also need to pay attention to stability and the outsole. To go a step further, we invite you to identify your expectations, as well as the characteristics of your tennis court. In particular, pairs designed for clay courts have different soles to those for hard surfaces. In the case of the former, grip (herringbone) should be superior, while in the case of the latter, resistance should be a priority. In case of doubt, you can always opt for a pair of "all-surface" sports shoes (mutlicourt).

What are the qualities of a tennis shoe?

Tennis shoes have many advantages for players. They also offer :

• Cushioning: to absorb shock and protect your joints during exercise, especially if you're used to playing on hard surfaces.
• Comfort: GEL technology, Ortholite insole... The best way to assess your comfort is to try them out in store.
• Lightweight: For easy movement on the court, lightweight shoes are ideal as they reduce fatigue during play and improve responsiveness on the court. This is particularly important for high-level players and long matches.
• Friction resistance: From a sturdy rubber sole to a reinforced upper in wear areas, these are the elements that can protect your shoes from the abrasion caused by movement on the court.

With all these elements in mind, you'll be able to enjoy superb tennis shoes. Find out more at DECATHLON !
