They are made out of leather
but your feet can breathe in them very well. They have extra
rubber on the outside that help me stop very easily and able to
reverse my momentum to get back to the center of the court. Many
pros wear Keds and I
can see why since they are great shoes. They have to be the best
cost efficient tennis shoe out there. I have been playing tennis since I was a young boy in New York. I grew up near Flushing which is where the U.S. Open is played every summer. I went to the 1998 U.S. Open and was watched the players and noticed how well they got around the court. Naturally, I looked at what they were wearing on their feet! To my surprise, most of them were wearing Keds.
I knew that Keds were around for what it seems to be forever, but I had no idea that they made tennis shoes. I actually ran into a tennis pro at the U.S. Open and asked him about his shoes. He said that all of his players wear Keds for many reasons. He said that they are the lightest tennis shoe out there. Realize, when you are on the court, every inch matters, so if you can get to the ball just a split second quicker, it could be the difference between hitting a winner down the line, or barely missing. He also told me that they are the best for sole support.
The feet are the second most important body part when you are playing tennis, because if you can’t move around well, you won’t get to any ball. Lastly, he said that they are one of the most comfortable shoes out there, which is good since you normally play for hours and hours. I then went to the store and picked out a pair of Keds tennis shoes. I was totally in love with them. I never played with such ease until I got them. My feet didn’t even hurt after a long three set match.
My favorite Keds shoe, which I have used for now for the past five years, is the Keds Tennis LTT. It is a great shoe for tennis, but I can also where it in my normal wardrobe. It is made out of leather, but surprisingly, your feet can breathe very well in them. It has a special cotton layer on the sole which provides extra comfort. There is extra support in the heel due to a specially designed heel cup. Lastly, the outer sole is one hundred percent rubber gives excellent traction. I play on hard courts primarily and these are great for stopping on a dime and able to get back to the center of the court.
I stand by my assertion that Keds are the best tennis shoe out there, and they are very affordable at fewer than forty dollars a pair.
