Are chuck taylors considered tennis shoes?
People still wear those?





Where do you live? Those went out forever ago here, lol.





Well, when I was in school, people wore them all the time on the gym court. They aren't the best shoes to wear during gym activities, because they have absolutely no support. Your feet may become cramped, or will feel like ants are biting them.





Just be sure they aren't tied too tight, loosen them up a bit.
Reply:Out of personal experience I found out that there are tennis shoes and court shoes. Tennis shoes are basically the general name of any shoe for any purpose. Court Shoes are very often the name of a shoe to play tennis in.





But Chuck Taylors are not for playing tennis. My friend use to wear them when she was taking beginner classes and even without running alot or not doing alot of any other physical work, she'd complain that her feet would hurt.





If you want a shoe to play tennis you often have to ask for a court shoe, that would often be better.
Reply:Do they have black soles? If the bottoms aren't white, or light pink, you can't wear them on a tennis court. Some jerks still do and they mess up the court. Some clubs won't allow it, and are strict about it. Its really sloppy and boorish if they're black soles.





Now, the other thing, is if they are tennis shoes, then you want good support for side to side movement, and also lots of toe room so when you jam forward, you don't injure your toes. Otherwise you might wear out your sneakers really fast. Wilson makes excellent shoes, and I'd recommend them for tennis if you have to chose new ones.
Reply:No, they are basketball shoes, with no support. Back when I played basketball in high school and part of college, that's what we wore. It was the only tennis shoe out, and a pair cost around $13.
Reply:they're pretty much the worst shoes for sport


u cant really use them for any sport


only if you consider skating a sport then thats the exception
Reply:No. I actually got fussed at for wearing them to practice once. :]





They don't provide any support to your ankles. When you're jolting back and forth to get the balls, you need a lot of support so that you don't roll/sprain your ankles.
Reply:i wouldn't say they are appropriate. today's tennis you need support in the shoes....whether the ankles(to keep from rolling over chasing down a ball),the arch,the forefoot or the ball....it would be too detremental to your feet to play in shoes like those. invest in a good pair of tennis specific sneaks. you don't have to wear the expensive sort that the top pros wear they have affordable,decent shoes available.
