			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-96" title="Tennis Shoe" src="http://www.playtennislikepro.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/choose-tennis-shoe.jpg" alt="US Open Tennis" width="200" height="144" />Good quality tennis shoes such as the first tennis shoe should be able to offer support for the feet with every starts and stops you make, it should also provide ample support on the sides of the feet. Every surface has a different requirement and every one of us have different kinds of feet and all of them place differing demands on ones tennis shoes. The first thing to consider is the type of feet that you have since that is what determines the cushioning that you require, what and <span id="more-95"></span>where you will require lateral support.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>There are 3 major types of feet.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>1. SUPINATED </strong>- here the wear is regarded to be on the outside part of the shoe.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>2. PRONATED</strong> &#8211; here the wear is found on the inside just round the foot ball. This kind of foot is considered to be the one that most suffers with overuse injuries.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>3. IDEAL</strong>- there is an even wear here.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">You can find a fellow player who will walk after you so that you can find out if your walk is with an inward tilt of the foot or an outward tilt or none at all. A better option is to seek a professional shoe sports person. It is also possible for you to test yourself through wetting the feet and then standing on a square piece of cardboard.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">1. If the area that was not touched by the feet is large, then that means you are SUPINATED</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">2. If the entire foot has been marked with a rectangular form that has slight curves, you are OVERPRONATED</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">3. If the feet leaves a type of imprint, which has a balance in between the rest then you have an IDEAL feet.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">You should verify the self diagnosis while a third party is monitoring your walk and the test on the wear on the first tennis shoe</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">THE FIT ON THE FIRST TENNIS SHOE is very important and the areas where you need to pay attention to include.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">1. You require almost a half of an inch in space between the toe, which is the longest and where the first tennis shoe ends.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">2. There should be a comfortable fit with no stretching on the foot.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">3. There should be no slipping of the heel even though there should be some movement required.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">You need to keep in mind that the feet are of different sizes, so ensure that the shoe size you pick fits the foot which is larger and then to balance the foot which is smaller you can wear an insole. Your first tennis shoe will require a degree of SHOCK ABSORPTION and CUSHIONING. This is true in the case where you are a base liner and most of the tennis is played on the hard courts. The pronated feet jilt more easily.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The two mainly popular cushioning that you read on are EVA and they are lightweight though not stable or durable. On the other hand PU also known as polyurethane, is denser, has got a better stability but is much heavier. FLEXIBILITY is very important and the first tennis shoe should be able to bend without strain at the foot ball, nevertheless, when the flexibility is too much the shoe will definitely not be comfortable. Ultimately, comfort is of essence and the first tennis shoe is no exception, you receive what you have paid for and I know few things that are of quality and are cheap.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Buying tips for youth tennis shoes.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-57" title="Youth Tennis Playing Shoes" src="http://www.playtennislikepro.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/youth-tennis-playing-shoes.jpg" alt="Youth Tennis Playing Shoes" width="200" height="133" />Considering playing tennis comes with a lot of preparation, youth tennis shoes come in very handy. Any youth player needs to practice for long hours to be a successful tennis player. This means that the player must play in various court types and a lot of the stress is taken by his feet. This is because the feet are useful when the player serves and chases the ball around the court. The player’s lower body part backs up the upper when the upper goes for the different shots. Bearing in mind that the feet have a special duty in all this, good shoes are important and <span id="more-56"></span>help the tennis player get world class maturity while playing tennis.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Choosing the appropriate pair </strong><br />
A young tennis player has to look at the following criteria when purchasing youth tennis shoes. These include court surface, perfect fit, breathability and durability.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Fit </strong><br />
Shoes that fit players uncomfortably are inappropriate. Players cannot focus on the game if they have blisters on their feet. Therefore, when purchasing shoes, remember the following guidelines: characteristically, feet swell after exercising or at the end of the day, tennis socks offer additional cushioning and might need a shoe of approximately half size larger because several players have two dissimilar feet size, shoe upper alongside the top of the feet ought to fit perfectly (not too loose/too tight); shoes need to have roughly half an inch space between toes and end of the shoe.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Durability </strong><br />
To make your youth tennis shoes last longer, always remember where you wear out those shoes and the frequency of your tennis games. In case the sole wears our faster, pick on a pair that has long-lasting soles and higher ends. In case your shoes loose cushion, pick on pairs having robust midsoles. Youth tennis players frequently drag their toes as they execute shots, particularly as they serve. As a result, there is an importance for right hand players to have additional protection in the inner regions of their right shoes.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Breathability </strong><br />
Too much running within the courts makes your feet tired. However, if you maintain a cool environment for your feet, you can play for longer periods. Pick on an upper-shoe material such as synthetic leather, leather, mesh or a combination of that suit your preferences. Additionally, ensure that the upper has abilities of venting out moisture and heat while at the same time maintaining feet coolness.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Court Surface </strong><br />
Youth players using hard courts ought to buy long-lasting shoes for playing tennis. Repeated court plays might cause tread losses from the sole, leading to increased slipping and loss of traction.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Players using clay courts need to have comfortable shoes for playing and ones that have good traction. This means that shoes having flat smooth soles are the best. The knobs and bumps in youth tennis shoes usually damage court surfaces.</p>
