You need court shoes, not cross trainers, etc. shoes for playing tennis are good. You don't want "grabby" shoes or running shoes as you move side to side a lot, and you need to be able to slide a little.
Sign up for a free pb 101 course, and one of the instructors is sure to let you use his good paddle. Or PM me for a loaner or two of good ones. Like everything else, the better the equipment, the faster and more easily you will learn.
