Why are tennis shoes so ugly?
Shopping for tennis shoes is like visiting some kind of oddball hell. Where every shoe is white and either ugly or close to ugly. Sneakers in general tend to be on the uglier side of things. Male sneaker designers design shoes that have all kinds of fantastical bells and whistles. There are bubbles in the soles to make you jump higher or whatever. All kinds of vents, you know,to give your feet some air. Then there are the ridiculous lines that run all over the place of a sneaker which have no cohesion, no balance, nothing that speaks simplicity. Sneaker designers are trying to appeal to the 5 year old boys within adult males where little boys imaginations were sparked by silly details on toys.
Tennis shoes are even more ugly. It is all about white because, you know, it says tennis. Tennis balls safely moved from white to yellow and yet the shoes find it difficult to make that transition.
After doing an extensive search, the only tennis shoes I could find that matched quality and style ended being a dud. I keep sliding off the base of the shoe. It is bulky and incredibly uncomfortable.I tried a couple of other shoes at a store, they felt like crap. What a mess!
