Best Tennis Shoes

Court shoes built for side-to-side movement.

More ▾

Tennis is full of sudden stops and lateral cuts, which is why running shoes are a poor substitute for real court shoes. A good tennis shoe gives you support at the sides, a durable outsole and enough cushioning for long sessions.

Choose for your court surface and the way you move: heavier, stable shoes suit players who grind from the baseline, lighter shoes suit quick movers. Pair them with the footwork lessons below, since better movement is the fastest way to improve every stroke.
