What to prioritise

Grip and flexibility

Fit and cushioning work together to keep you comfortable. A snug fit stops your foot sliding about and stops blisters happening. Good cushioning looks after your feet and joints during longer play. Mid-range cushioning works for most beginners whether you're playing socially or on court regularly.

The material makes all the difference to comfort. Mesh breathes brilliantly, stays lightweight and is easy to find. Synthetic leather offers better support and lasts longer but doesn't breathe as well and needs more upkeep. Canvas works well if breathability is your main priority. Think about the season and your play intensity to decide.

A textured sole with good tread patterns gives you the grip you need. The sole should maintain reliable grip during movement and quick direction changes. The heel especially needs to stay stable when you're changing direction fast. New shoes need a few sessions to break in. Wipe down with a damp cloth before first use to help condition the sole and get them game-ready.

Weight affects court feel and fatigue during long rallies. Lighter shoes let you move quicker but can feel flimsy if there's no support. Heavier shoes plant you firmly but tire your legs over extended play. Modern designs aim for balance, but testing them on court reveals whether you prefer nimble or grounded feel.

First-time buyers. A casual tennis shoe is the most accessible option if you're just starting out. It covers everyday wear and light sports without unnecessary features, and it's easy to clean and maintain.

Regular active wearers. A comfort tennis shoe is designed for frequent use. The extra cushioning protects your feet during daily wear and holds up to regular cleaning.

Court and sport players. A performance tennis shoe is built for fast movement and lateral support. Its sole maintains grip under the conditions where other shoes tend to slip.

Wipe with a damp cloth after every wear to remove court surface residue and dirt. Air dry at room temperature, never in direct sunlight or near heat sources, as this warps the shoe shape and damages bonding. Stuff loosely with newspaper to maintain form during drying. Clean the soles occasionally with a soft brush to remove accumulated clay or dirt that affects grip. Replace the insoles when they compress, as worn insoles cause foot fatigue and reduce cushioning. All shoes come with a 2-year warranty.
