The tennis pro shop at Glenview sells Wilson court shoes for $35.

I'll second that! The first time my wife, a former 3.5 tennis player until she twisted her knee, went on a pickle ball court she didn't have court shoes and she stumbled and pulled a muscle. She didn't get on a pickle ball court until the next winter (and then you couldn't get her off of it).
