DS decided he wants to start playing tennis together. I haven't even picked up a racket in well over ten years, but I'm always down to do whatever activities together that he wants.
We've played a couple times this week and it's become VERY apparent that the athletic shoes I have now are not suitable for tennis - they are too grippy and when I've gone for a couple long-reach balls, I've nearly face-planted because the shoes stick instead of slide.
I do not remember what kind of shoes I wore in the past for tennis and liked... any peas have suggestions? We'll only be playing on hard surface courts.

I’ve liked and worn K Swiss since high school - I like a stability shoe. Actually lately though I really like my Vejas (yes for tennis) and I have my eye on the Roger (On) but I haven’t actually tried it yet.
Have fun! (LOVE tennis)

K-Swiss is the traditional tennis shoe

(LOVE tennis) I saw the Roger Ons at Nordstrom the other day but I hadn’t yet discovered the trouble with my current shoes. I’ll try those on and check out K-Swiss too. Thanks! |

Oh great! I think I’ll pick them up too. We are doing a tennis tournament (just for fun with friends ) up in Tahoe this weekend. Next you’ll need some good tennis skirts…  (Also the story of Roger Federer and On is pretty cool) |

But really, what are you favorite brands… |

I’ve bought tennis skirts from all over - and pretty much happy with all but my favorite is an inexpensive one off Amazon - I have 3 of them… I have an Athleta one I’m not crazy about. I like the looks of the slim one from Vuori.
I’ve had my eye on a new brand I discovered- Varley, but haven’t bought anything yet…
A friend who plays a lot of tennis just recommended and swears by The Bubble skirts. She claims they are fabulous and flattering - but very expensive…not sure if that’s your thing, its definitely “a look” lol.

I like Varley but haven't checked out their tennis skirts. However, a skirt called The Bubble gives me flashbacks to my awful bubble hem dress from my 9th grade dance circa 1987 and nooooooo  The only one I currently have is from Athleta and I don't love it. The material is too thick. |
