Question 1

How tight should squash court shoes be?

Accepted Answer

You should feel very comfortable and cozy in your squash court shoes. They should be light on your feet. The shoes should not be too tight as you will have difficulties in moving your ankles and this also increases the chances that you’ll get blisters on your feet. Neither should the shoe be too loose as it could come off during the game. In your perfect squash shoes, you’ll feel the court under your feet while playing.

Question 2

Can Squash be played with regular sports shoes?

Accepted Answer

Squash is played while wearing shoes with non-marking soles for the grip inside the squash court and outdoor shoes are not allowed in a squash court. Even if you manage to get into court with ordinary sports shoes, you will not get an adequate grip and will find yourself at a disadvantage soon enough.

Question 3

What is the difference between tennis and squash shoes?

Accepted Answer

Tennis shoes are not equipped with non-marking soles and neither do they come with rubber gum soles. Also, tennis shoes are much heavier than squash court shoes and both shoes are designed for different outcomes. Wearing tennis shoes in the squash court can damage the squash court as well as increase the chances of injuring the player.
