Multi-court shoes for tennis

indoor shoes for tennis

A friend of mine prefers playing with multi-court shoes cause they "brake" more smooth/gentle (this also provides more time to reach a difficult ball) on stop n goes compared to tennis shoes who brake instantly.... sth that tends to more knee injuries.

He is currently playing with Nike Mutlicourts 10.

The Nike Multi Court 10 Men's Tennis Shoe is lightweight, flexible and designed specifically for versatility on the indoor courts with a Phylon midsole that offers cushioning with a great court feel. Combination leather and textile upper for a great fit with lateral support and Cageability. Forefoot flex grooves and pivot point for quick changes in direction. Full-length Phylon midsole for lightweight cushioning. TPU shank for support and stability.Rubber outsole for exceptional traction.

He suggested me to prefer indoor multicourt shoes (like those Dunlops) if i play mostly on hard surfaces and avoid tennis shoes that are also heavier.... anyone else with same experience/view on the matter?

I agree altough:

1. It's not only the weight (i.e. I think that while Barricades have become lighter, they still feel clunkier then say Nike CBs 4.3, not to mention Lunars).
   
2. You still want support on hard court, for cushioning (that's why some lighter shoes such as Asics Gel Resolution 5 might let you down with pains in the balls of your feet aka metatarsalgia while Vapors are just too flimsy), but also for changing directions (b/c, unlike on clay, here you can actually plant your foot and break).
   
3. 6 months sole warranty is nice, but may come at a price, starting with weight.

I play on hard courts and would chew up the multi-court shoes very quickly.

I wear Prince T22s for practice and Yonex shoes for matches. I don't find that either brake instantly.

I'm hesitant to recommend indoor court shoes for playing on hard courts unless you can afford to replace shoes often or you are easy on shoes.
