Running shoes are designed almost exclusively for forward motion. Raquetball shoes have a lot of lateral motion. You're not going to find shoes that can truly do both well. You should go to a running specialty shop and get fit for a pair of running shoes based on your individual arch, pronation type, surfaces, distances, etc. And you're going to need to go someplace else to find an adequate pair of shoes for raquetball -- I'm not sure if tennis shoes would technically work, but you may be able to get away with cross trainers there. You really don't want to use the same shoe for both, and save brand concerns for the end. There are lots of different models designed to function differently for different types of feet, and if you go primarily off of brand, you can screw up royally.

If you play racquetball in a good pair of running shoes, you will destroy them. They are not made for that kind of lateral movement, period. Most running shoes are built to deal with pronation, or the roll of your foot during forward motion. NOT lateral movement. You will most likely need a running shoe as well as a court shoe or cross trainer. First of all, there is no shoe that can function as a running shoe that you can play racquetball in.

You have to have access to a public facility (extremely rare), or be loaded. I'm sure if the sport was as easy to access as say basketball, baseball, soccer or even tennis, more people would try it and love it. I love racquetball, but I haven’t played in 10 years.

UFC Gloves, Sanctioned Fight Shorts, and ankle tape are the uniform allowed. No mat shoes or gi's or anything else. Used to be whatever you wanted to wear (within reason) but we have rules now days.
