Kids
Tennis
Shoes:
choosing
the
correct
footwear
for the
sport
Finding
kid's
tennis
shoes at
your
local
retailer
can be
difficult.
Finding
the
correct
shoes
for
children
can also
be a
task.
Partly
because
as
parents
sometimes
we just
go with
the most
inexpensive
shoes
for our
kids
because
they
tend to
grow so
fast.
This can
however
be a
mistake
as
junior
tennis
players
too can
get foot
and
ankle
injuries
from
wearing
the
wrong
type of
shoes
just
like
adults.
See
my top
three
recommendations.
Case in
point is
from a
recent
tennis
camp
that I
ran and
one of
my nine
year old
students
turned
her
ankle
while
wearing
running
shoes.

I
felt so
bad for
her as I
believe
that
this
could
have
been
avoided
if her
mother
had
known
that
there is
a
difference
in
footwear
for
tennis
versus
running
or
walking
shoes.
I
applied
ice to
the
ankle to
alleviate
any
swelling
and
wrapped
it so
that she
could
continue
to play
that day
but, it
affected
her
mobility
for the
rest of
the
week.
Kid's
Tennis
shoes
need to
have
more
lateral
(side to
side)
stability
than a
normal
shoe due
to the
constant
change
of
direction
while
moving
in
various
directions
to hit
the
ball.
These
shoes
can cost
a little
more
however,
the time
and
money
that an
injury
can cost
I
believe
makes
paying a
little
more
upfront
well
worth
it.
Sometimes
when
shopping
for kids
tennis
shoes, they
often
make a
choice
based on
color or
what
someone
else is
wearing
or by
trying
to make
a
fashion
statement.
We have
to make
the best
choice
for kids
tennis
shoes
based on
the
particular
sport
that
they are
participating
in no
matter
what
that
sports
is.
After
all the
number
one
reason
that we
wear
shoes in
the
first
place is
to
protect
our
feet!
Just
remember
when
choosing
them
that
kids are
not just
little
adults,
they are
still
growing
and
their
feet
need
extra
care.
4 Month
Wear-out
Warranty
Some
manufacturers
have
decided
to offer
a four
month
wear-out
warranty
to help
save you
money.
What
that
means is
that if
you have
an
active
child
and they
wear out
the
soles of
their
tennis
shoes
within
four
months,
they
will
replace
them at
no
charge.
This is
similar
to the
adult
version
of this
warranty
which is
six
months.
Usually
if you
have a
growing
child,
they may
actually
outgrow
their
shows
before
they
wear
them
out.
