Default Wet courts

Those who are concerned about slippage on early morning damp courts or during mist I just were my clay court tennis shoes 👠. The aggressive tread design sticks good to wet courts. The ASICS I have don’t slip a bit even when I push off on the damp lines. ( it will wear them out quicker than playing on clay)(I have several pairs so that’s not problem for me)

See few wearing walking/running shoes also which are not made of courts. The wear out quickly and shape side edges can cause ankle to roll over. Should wear shoe designed for tennis/pickleball courts. Also, Gym floor shoes 👞 (like basketball/badminton shoes) have softer sole compound which ruff texture of tennis/ pickleball hard courts will wear out quickly. Just some information for new players just starting out.
