Tennis shoes are specially built for instant grip which may not be available in others. And you may even experience some knee pains if you don't use right kinda shoes for tennis. Tennis shoes are a little different than other shoes, because of the tremendous need for lateral support. Unlike a running shoe, where the concern is mostly for forward motion, tennis shoes must endure the constant action of sideways starts and stops. Also, tennis shoes will usually have reinforced toe and heel pads because of the fact that tennis players will often drag the toe or heel of the shoe across the court creating a lot of wear and tear in those areas.

Secondly, wear patterns on shoes are more a product of the wearer rather than the shoe. Different people have different wear patterns based on their own nuances (that's why many runners get their shoes custom made). Finally, tennis shoes made to withstand wear on the forefoot and toes which are target areas where tennis players usually put wear into their shoes, and they have thinner soles to reduce shoe weight in order to improve performance. Ultimately, use what works for you because that's the right choice... you are as they say, unique as a snowflake ha First and foremost, tennis shoes are built for side to side movement and keeping your feet (and therefore body) stable… as opposed to basketball shoes which are more made for running up and down a court (ha unless your crossover requires ankle insurance).
