Are Ecco running shoes good for tennis too?

I bought some Ecco running shoes and the store clerk/manager keeps telling me that they are good for tennis playing. I just don%26#039;t want to fall down out there. Anyone know if the manager is just trying to keep me with them? They are RXP 3040 style.


Thanks!

Talk about poor advice! Aside from anything else, running shoes give you very little lateral support, which is essential for your feet when playing tennis.





Before you buy your next pair of tennis shoes, please read the article below. After reading it, you%26#039;ll know when someone%26#039;s trying to rip you off.

The biggest problem: It does not give enough support for side to side movement.





Another big problem: It leaves black marks on the court.





Worst case scenario: You have to be carried off the court by your opponent while the janitor of the courts shout at you for leaving black marks (and maybe blood) on the court...
Reply:The manager is a flat out liar. I highly suggest that you DO NOT play tennis with your eccos. Go out and buy yourself a pair of REAL tennis shoes that are actually designed to play tennis. If you play with the eccos... you could have a serious ankle injury and not be able to play at all. The eccos do not support your ankle and you can easily twist it and injure yourself badly.





DO NOT PLAY WITH THE ECCOS.

running shoes are ultra-light weight...runners are doing a very basic and repetitive motion so running shoes take out a lot of the ankle stabilizing goodness (because it adds weight).





tennis if full of quick starts/quick stops and lateral movement. your ankles are NOT being supported in running shoes....you are looking at ankle sprains if you do.





that manager is just trying to make a sale. shame on him.
