Three Critical Things to Look For in a Supportive Indoor Sports Shoe

Posted by: Mr.Tennis in Interesting Site

You really want to protect your ankles from rolling and spraining when playing or practicing. These sports require a lot of lateral movement, sprinting, stop and go, lunging, and a lot of back and forth movement. Whether it is a mid shoe or low shoe, I really don’t believe it matters. Many people think you need a mid to high top shoe for more support. I don’t believe that. Even Basketball Superstar Kobe Bryant is wearing low-top shoes to play Pro Basketball. Support rather than height is paramount. For support reasons in racquetball, squash, tennis, pickleball, and badminton, a low-cut shoe can be just as good as a “mid” as “high-top” as these three features are the most important part of that shoe: Here are three things you can look for when you are choosing a good supportive shoe that will help prevent your ankle from rolling and causing bad injury: 1.

Customer Review: The best tennis shoe I have played with
I have been playing tennis for over 20 years so I have seen a lot of shoes with different technologies over the years. The Asics Gel Resolution is by far the best shoe I have used and especially that I am now playing on hard court, which unlike the clay court I am used to is a bit tough on the body and on the shoe. Not with this one though, this shoe offers great cushioning with excellent support for the feet with a low ride to the ground that enhances the feel and the lateral movement. The mesh material used on most of the upper surface provided excellent ventilation without sacrificing the glove like feeling that it has or stability. I would recommend this shoe to any player demanding performance with stability at any level playing on any surface.
