Womens Basketball Shoes

Basketball shoes for women are decisive on court. You are firmly on the field and know you can run, jump and land. No worries about your ankles, knees or other injuries. That is, if you wear the right basketball shoes. It is certain that basketball shoes are just as important for women as for men. When you think of basketball, you might think of tall men, the NBA, Michael Jordan. But worldwide, basketball is almost as popular for women as it is for men.

Important with women's basketball shoes

Support and fit are the foundation of a good basketball shoe. Support is often in the protection of your ankles, for example by a heel cap, the option to tie your laces up to your ankles or an extra reinforced strap around the middle of your foot. You can choose from a low, mid or high model, depending on your preference. Of course, every woman wants her basketball shoe to be comfortable! What contributes to this is the comfort in the form of breathable material and a soft foam layer. This provides resilience and cushioning. In addition, grip on the field is a must. Basketball players move, run and turn explosively. On court ground feeling is often more important for women than for men. Women jump a little less high and that can influence the right shoe choice. A good outsole with profile offers a lot of grip and is flexible. It goes with the dynamic movements of your foot.

Is there a difference between men's and women's basketball shoes?

Although most women's basketball shoes are suitable for men and vice versa, women can pay attention to other things when trying on. For example, most female basketball players have narrower feet than men. That is why it is important that you choose shoes with the correct fit. You may like to be able to tighten your laces a bit so that the shoe fits better. Cushioning is an important part of most basketball shoes. Not everyone feels the same about this, because if you are a bit lighter and do not have to absorb that much weight, the thickness of the damping is less important.
