Default Where to buy tennis shoes/sneakers??

My husband needs a new pair of sneakers for pickle ball and I don't know where to buy good ones in TV. I don't recall seeing a Sporting Goods store here. Any suggestions?? Thanks...

Bealls has a decent selection, but the best place is at the Glenview Tennis center. You need to have court shoes for pickleball, same shoes that are used for tennis.

The villages needs a sporting goods store. glenview is ok for shoes and probably the best outside of Ocala. for quality and price have to buy online at tennis warehouse or similar outfit.

There's a good place in Leesburg in that mall on the left of 441 near the college.

Bealls has good pickleball shoes and if you wait till Tuesday you get another 15% senior discount. The Tuesday I was there 8 other guys were buying Nike pickleball shoes that were on sale plus the discount.

Default Found the right shoes for the right price

Thanks everyone for your suggestions. We ended up going to Bealls and found some court shoes that are perfect for pickle ball. They were on sale pulse we got an extra 15% off, so we were pretty happy with that.
