What are the best tennis shoes for Kids? Our TOP 10 selection of kids tennis shoes is one of our most visited pages, as parents realise the importance of getting the right shoes for budding tennis champions. We would recommend that you do get a proper pair of tennis shoes, as "general" trainers or commonly used running shoes for all purposes are totally wrong for growing limbs. General trainers do not provide the necessary lateral support and cause issues with ankles and knees.
