All court tennis shoes are designed for use on a variety of different court surfaces, such as hard, clay and grass courts. These shoes typically have a durable outsole with a multi-surface tread pattern that provides traction and stability. All court tennis shoes are a good choice for players who play on a variety of different court surfaces and need a shoe that can adapt to different conditions.
Clay court shoes are designed specifically for use on clay courts. They typically have a herringbone pattern on the outsole, which provides extra traction and grip on the soft, slippery surface of the court. This can help players move more easily and confidently on the court, and can also help to prevent injuries caused by slipping or losing balance.
Carpet shoes are characterized by a non-marking and smooth outsole without any pattern for traction and durability. These shoes can only be played on smooth surfaces, without any granules on the court. If you are looking for a shoe to play indoors with granules, we would suggest an all court or clay court outsole.
Padel specific shoes are engineered to move nimbly in all directions with a lot of flexibility, without sacrificing stability and support.
Omni Court court shoes are made to play on artificial grass. The outsole features "nubs" for a better grip. Unlike all court/hard court shoes, these cannot be used on any other surfaces, except on grass courts.
Grass Court shoes feature "nubs" on the outsole, which are reminiscent of a cleat-like-shoe for a better grip. Unlike all court/hard court shoes, these cannot be used on any other surfaces, except on omni/artificial grass courts.
