I been using my vans which seemed to provide support when I tried them on. However since I been playing and running for about 2 weeks, the more active I become the more my shoes feel like they provide no arch support which is weird because when I put them on they feel fine.

Anyways I need to get some new shoes for when I play and run. I was thinking of nike. But I don’t know what kind of shoes to get such as running, cross trainers… etc..

So how am I supposed to find a good pair since my vans feel fine until I begin to get active??

I am 5′7” with size 10 dogs so it’s kinda hard for me to find a women’s pair that fit perfect. I run and play outdoors and if you don’t know much about racquet ball.. it’s a lot of jumping shuffling side to side on the court.. I dunno if that info is relevant to choosing shoes.

Any suggestions as to what type and what brand.???
any input would be a great help :)

So what brand of shoe can provide the lateral support that I need for racquetball?

I also do a lot of running but I read that running shoes arent ideal for racquetball. I also play outside so I will not need gum bottom shoes.
can anyone guide me on which direction to go?
what type of brands are good and what type of shoe is best.? should I go with a running or training type of shoe?
thanks

I’ve been playing approx. once a week consistently for a few years now and looking to upgrade. I’ve been using the Head Ti 175 and it’s been extremely durable and good for me. I’m about 5′11″, 195….I have more of a control game than power game. Which would be better for me? Any tips or advice?
