Are The Same Non Marking Shoes Applicable For All Sports?
The answer is NO. You have a variety of non-marking shoes (sneakers) available in the market for different purposes. Non-marking shoes are designed in different ways serving the demands of different games such as badminton, volleyball, basketball, etc.
Badminton
Three main things for badminton shoes are grip, good cushioning and lightweight. The soles are made from thin gum rubber that creates better stability and traction. Good cushion helps in absorbing the shock of the foot which is due to quick reverse movements. Badminton shoes also have light mesh material which allow the feet to breathe. Wearing such non-marking shoes will give you enhanced foot movement, comfort, flexibility, and mainly reduced injury risk from full 360 degree ankle support.
Basketball
Basketball shoes have thicker soles because of the need for high jumps such as dunking, rebounding, blocking, and defense. Thicker soles result in heavier shoes as compared to badminton shoes. Also basketball shoes go above the ankle giving maximum support. Additionally, they are made from rigid material and poor ventilation.
Tennis
Tennis is played on a variety of surfaces such as clay, grass, synthetic, hard court and some indoor carpeted courts. Therefore there are a variety of tennis shoes catering to different courts and needs in terms of designs and structures but their main difference lies in the soles. Tennis shoes generally have endurance rubber which increases the durability of the shoes, albeit it results in increasing the weight of the shoe a little bit. The tennis shoes that are made for indoor courts are most flexible and lightweight with the smoothest non-marking shoes. Since the movements are relatively similar to that of badminton, you can use the same shoes to play badminton.
Volleyball
Each player in the game of volleyball has fixed positions and thus brings something different to the game. If you are in the front, you may want to jump high and attack, whereas if you are at the back of the court, you may need to get low and play defensively. This is important in choosing the right non-marking shoe for you. Every player in the game of volleyball, regardless of the position, should look for high grip in order to avoid slipping and lateral stability because of sudden change in the direction.
