Do kids need special shoes for tennis?
Yes, kids can benefit from playing tennis in shoes designed for the sport, rather than in regular sneakers. Children's tennis shoes offer features that plain sneakers donāt have, like increased cushioning and grip, helping your child develop their skills with confidence.
Kidsā tennis shoes are designed to support growing feet while enabling young athletes to move easily and comfortably on the court. Look for features that provide stability for quick side-to-side movements, cushioning for comfort and durability to last through tough play.
What are the best tennis shoes for kids?
Finding the right tennis shoes for kids is a matter of matching ability and play style with features that offer the correct support. Beginning players may appreciate cushioning that keeps them comfortable as they learn and practice. As young players advance in their skill levels, they may prefer shoes that offer increased support and grip for more aggressive play.
Here are some suggestions for kidsā tennis sneakers:
Kidsā tennis shoes for beginners: GEL-DEDICATE® shoes provide lightweight cushioning that keeps kids comfortable as they learn the game.
For advanced stability: If your child is a baseline player needing strong support during intense rallies, GEL-RESOLUTION® shoes provide both stability and durability.
Versatile tennis shoes for kids: The GEL-GAME™ youth tennis shoes support all-around performance for young players who want versatility.
Are kidsā tennis shoes different from running shoes?
Yes, kidsā tennis shoes are different from kidsā running shoes. Tennis requires quick stops and side-to-side movements, so these shoes are built to provide the stability, support, traction and durability young players need to move confidently on the court. Running shoes, on the other hand, are designed for forward motion, with cushioning and energy return to boost speed and endurance.
