Choose your men's tennis shoes
It is important to select a pair of men's tennis shoes adapted to your style of play but also to your morphology and the surface on which you play. Your body rests on your feet and they therefore deserve your full attention in order to avoid injuries and have maximum pleasure on the field. Too often we see tennis players choosing their shoes based on price or design. Unfortunately, this is a mistake, as each tennis shoe offers different benefits. This is because your tennis playing style is unique and your tennis shoe should match your game.
5 criteria to take into account when choosing your men's tennis shoe
- Ankle stability and support. Indeed, it is essential to feel safe inside your tennis shoe. This must protect you and react to your changes of direction;
- Tennis shoes must offer you good cushioning to reduce shocks and thus avoid injuries;
- The weight of the shoes will have an impact in terms of dynamism and stability. The heavier it is, the more stability it will give you, while a light tennis shoe will offer more reactivity and therefore dynamism;
- Ventilation is a criterion to take into account since your foot will need to breathe during your tennis matches;
- The sole: it must be all surfaces or clay.
A tennis shoe must be adapted to the morphology
The tennis shoe must be adapted to your style of play. If you are a tennis player moving to the 4 corners of the court, you will need to favor a light shoe to gain speed. Coupled with a shoe, you will be more efficient on the ground. If your playing profile is more of a player over 80 kilos with a little overweight, it is best to choose a tennis shoe with very good stability. As you will have understood, your morphology as well as your style of play will influence the shoe to adopt. The surfaces you play on like clay should also match the soles of your shoes to better grip the court and prevent injury.
Choose your shoes according to the playing surface
Men's all-court tennis shoes will work just as well on hard courts as they do on clay courts. However, all-court shoes will be much more suitable for hard resin surfaces, while clay court shoes have more pronounced chevrons to evacuate clay more easily. There are also men's tennis shoes for the grass surface.
When should you change your tennis shoes?
This will of course depend on your style of play as well as how often you play with your tennis shoes. A player who rubs his tennis shoes on the ground a lot will have a rather short lifespan. Professional tennis players, for example, wear out their shoes very quickly because of the high friction caused by their heavy footwork. The important indicator is your sole. If the patterns on the sole are very faded, this is a sign that they are tired and we advise you to change to a new one. On average, players should change tennis shoes at least every 6 months. Pay close attention to these details and don't wait until the cushioning is worn out to change sneakers, otherwise you risk injury.
Is there a more effective model of men's tennis shoe?
Certain models are indeed to be preferred for certain types of players. It is necessary to first define your research, your style of play, your morphology and the surfaces on which you play. A man will tend to slide more on every surface than a woman.
