No matter what sport you play, it is very important to wear appropriate footwear for it. Wearing the right shoes for the right sport will boost your performance while wearing the wrong shoes could easily lead to chronic pain or injuries. But it is also more nuanced than just “the right shoes for the right sport.” You don’t just wear the “best shoes for basketball.” The best basketball shoes for you depend on your playing style and position. A center who plays rough in the low post requires a very different type of shoes than a high flying guard who relies on his speed and agility.
