Are there special shoes for both Basketball and Tennis and also running (jogging)?
I read a sign at a tennis court that says: ” Basketball shoes are not allowed.” And some say that Tennis shoes are not good for Basketball. And my friend said that I shoud get a good running shoes if I want to run/jog. Not just do I have to buy three kind of shoes, it’s a hassle to carry all three of them. Are there really a special pair of shoes for Basketball, Tennis and running?

absolutely, and its for a reason. tennis and basketball require completely different traction and support. if you try playing tennis with basketball shoes, there is a high chance you will slip, and if you play basketball with tennis shoes, there is a high chance you will sprain your ankles;it is all just on how the game is played and how the court is made. in the cases of those two games, you should consider special shoes even if you are only playing semi-seriously. as for running, you can try other types of shoes, but running shoes are usually alot smoother and lighter, which is important if you want to start competing.
