Is it ok to use skate shoes in tennis?
maybe yes, but be aware of the high speed shots
Reply:no because skate shoes are made differently than tennis shoes.....i'd say just wear a pair of tennis shoes
Reply:How about a high hill, or micky mouse boots? Lol..........
Reply:No.





Just please don't do it. I am the kind of guy that would hope people actually take care of the courts. But of course I know people aren't decient enough to do simple things to keep the courts nice.
Reply:NO, they dont support your ankles enough, can scuff up the courts and will give you blisters.
Reply:There are two ways to look at it:





1) It is fine because they are flat soled and will not hurt a grass or clay court.





2) It is not o.k. because the dark sole could scuff up a hard court leaving bad marks.





The support in these shoes are not meant for lateral movement which may result in a sprained, or worse yet, broken ankle. My first thought by someone asking this is they are not a competitive player which means they are most likely playing with their friends. In that case it is probably not worth going out and buy a "tennis shoe" just to hit and giggle.





Hope that helps.

Reply:please don't. skate shoes are very comfortable but they won't support your feet as well as actual tennis shoes. you might end up with blisters or worse a sprained ankle.
