😬The short answer to that question is YES! 👟You see a lot of people playing with running shoes, but running shoes are designed to go one way, and that is forward. Running shoes lack the lateral support, and the traction that tennis shoes have. Tennis shoes are usually heavier, and they sit lower to the ground as they have less cushioning and midsole. 🎾Tennis shoes are made to give you the support, the cushioning and the traction that you need on a tennis court. We all know that tennis requires, not just a lot of running around, but it requires that you make quick starts and stops as well. The sport also requires a lot of lateral movement, and so tennis shoes are made to provide you with exactly the type of support and cushioning that you need in these situations. And the traction that you need on a tennis court is certainly much different than you would need if you were running. Even if you’re out running on a road, especially because you are dealing with these short starts and stops, quick steps, small steps, longer lunging steps, and so a tennis shoe is really made to provide you with the best possible shoe for those special situations 👟The lack of lateral stability and ankle support for aggressive side-to-side movements in running shoes significantly increases your chance of injury while playing tennis, with ankle sprains and twists especially common. 😎Invest in a pair of tennis shoes and you'll be faster and safer when running in the right shoes, designed specifically for the purpose. 🎾 #siamsportspro #tennisacademy #tennisphuket #phukettennis #thailandtennis #phuketthailand #tennisplayer #tennislife #phukett #tennisacademythailand #tennislesson #wilson #wilsontennis #tennisshoe #wilsonthailand
