Netball is a tough sport on players’ lower limbs, and even tougher on the shoes we wear. But lucky for all netball lovers out there, Sports24seven has you covered with a wide range of netball to protect your feet and joints and to enhance your performance.
Learn more here about why choosing a netball shoe is important and how this will benefit you.
Extreme sideways movement is necessary for netball with quick, multiple changes of direction which running shoes aren’t designed to handle. The stability offered by a netball shoe is extremely important to keep your foot stable on the midsole and outsole. This will help you perform your best and prevent injury.
HOW TO CHOOSE A NETBALL SHOE
Choosing the correct netball shoes depends on how you move on the court and what needs you have for your netball shoes. Netball shoes are built for different player characteristics, with different features to help you play at your best.
If you do a lot of running on the court and you may want to improve your speed with a netball shoe that has a silhouette mimicking a running shoe.
If you turn and pivot a lot on the court then you need a shoe that will provide more stability. If you want a hybrid of both, you can choose a shoe that offers medium level support and lightweight cushioning.
In any scenario, Sports24seven stocks a range of shoes to suit your netball playing style.
CAN I WEAR RUNNING SHOES FOR NETBALL?
The way your foot moves in netball differs to the forward movement of that from running, so, your shoes need to be different. Running shoes were built for movement in a forward linear motion, using materials that are not durable for abrasion or cross lateral movements. By not wearing a netball shoe the player opens themselves up to greater risk of injury
