What kind of athletic shoes should I purchase?
lysslyss asked:
I am looking for a new pair of athletic shoes. I do a lot of walking and biking. I run on occasion, but not regularly. I currently have a pair of cross trainers. I was wondering if there is a different kind of shoes I should use. I do not participate in school sports, so this is more for personal recreation and exercise.

What are the advantages of wearing shoes specifically made for tennis compared to cross trainers, for example?
Jrg M asked:
I’ve read reviews of people saying how the sole of their tennis shoes wore out in a few months. That’s because the sole of tennis shoes are thin. Cross trainers have much thicker tread. And I play tennis in them. How would it improve my playing, if I wore tennis specific shoes? Somebody once claimed that the heel of tennis shoes is lower, thus making for better balance while hitting the ball. Somebody else claimed they have better lateral support.

Well?
