Tennis Shoes – Facts And Buying Tips

The shoes are the most vital part of the ensemble. The grip of the field or floor is a very serious matter. Comfort while playing definitely improves the game.

Tennis shoes have an interesting history. The sneakers, in 1887, had rubber soles that made the shoes noiseless. The grip was also better and these rubber soled shoes were generally called tennis shoes by American boys then. It was in the 1900s that the rubber factories specializing in tyres for bicycles started manufacturing tennis shoes. The Colchester Rubber Company, the Goodrich and Spalding Co. along with some others were the leading manufactures of the tennis shoes.
Though the tennis shoes were not that popular in the beginning, it became a rage just after the First World War. As a demonstration of patriotism and strength, The United States began promoting the growth of sports. Renowned sportsmen like Jim Thorpe and Chuck Taylor, endorsed the tennis shoes and made it popular amongst the masses.
Gradually, by the 1950s, the tennis shoes became a household name worn not only for sports but for everyday use. It even became a school dress code. Buying a tennis shoe is not easy. You must be very cautious while selecting the shoe for yourself. If the tennis shoe is for the kid then make sure that you take him along for the right measurement.
