Foam Racket Sport Shoes

The most important point when buying a pair of shoes for racket sports is that you choose a pair that is adapted for the racket sport you play. Many people think you can use the same type of shoe for e.g. both badminton and padel and, even though it works, it is not at all optimal. Not for your feet or your game.

If we compare tennis' long runs with squash’s short and fast spurts, it becomes clear that the sports require different types of shoes. Some examples of differences between the shoes are stability, reinforcement, and often even the weight of the shoes. So make sure you choose a pair of shoes that are adapted for either squash, tennis, padel, or badminton.

• Cushioning: A pair of shoes with good cushioning reduces the weight of the foot and reduces the risk of injury. Generally, more cushioning is recommended in tennis, padel, and squash shoes, while it is often not as important in badminton.

• Reinforcement: Reinforced shoes help to stabilise the foot in the shoe. Shoes adapted for racket sports are generally more stable than ordinary running shoes, but there are also models that are extra reinforced.

• Type of sole: One of the most important parts of a pair of racket sports shoes is the sole. There are different types of soles depending on which sport the shoes are made for, and also depending on what surface you are playing on.
