Why having equipment dedicated to playing tennis is essential
Tennis—like many racket sports—combines rapid movements, sudden changes of direction, jumps, lateral support, thrusts, frequent acceleration and braking. These demands place significant stress on the feet: shocks, twisting, repeated impacts, friction, intense pressure on the forefoot, heels and arch of the foot. A shoe alone is not always enough: you need insoles, and possibly accessories, that are designed to absorb impact, stabilise the foot, prevent injury and maximise comfort and performance. The SIDAS ‘Tennis’ collection meets these needs.
Products in the SIDAS Tennis range
-
‘Tennis/multisport’ insoles — Insoles specifically designed for sports such as tennis (high-impact/multi-directional sports). They offer shock absorption, impact absorption, arch support, and better pressure distribution — which stabilises the foot, reduces microtrauma, and helps preserve joints and tendons even after intense matches.
-
Technical tennis socks— Comfort, support, and stability for an optimal playing experience on the tennis court. Perfect synergy with your shoes, dry feet, and maximum support: essential for players of all levels.
-
Accessories & foot comfort — Adding elements such as gel pads, heel/forefoot protection and technical socks (breathability, support, friction reduction) can improve comfort and limit blisters, irritation and pressure points — a real bonus for consistency and foot health.
Who for — which profiles benefit from these products
- Regular or intensive tennis players — frequent training, matches, competitions, dynamic playing style: they need good cushioning, foot support and protection against repeated impacts.
- Recreational or occasional players — even for moderate sessions, a good sole can improve comfort, reduce fatigue, prevent blisters or irritation, and allow you to play longer.
- For those who play multiple sports (tennis, padel, squash, badminton, indoor sports, etc.) — a versatile multisport/tennis sole allows you to switch from one sport to another without changing shoes, while maintaining comfort and protection.
- For players with sensitive joints, arches, heels or metatarsals — adapted insoles = better shock absorption, reduced trauma, prevention of strain or injury.
Expert advice & best practices
- Replace the original insole: to take full advantage of the properties (cushioning, support, comfort) of SIDAS tennis/multisport insoles, it is advisable to remove the original insole before installing the new one.
- Choose the insole that suits your morphology and use—depending on your arch, shoe size and type of play (leisure, intensive, regular), opt for a ‘standard’, “slim” or ‘specific morphology’ model if available.
- Combine the insole + shoe + suitable sock—comfort and protection depend on the foot/insole/shoe/sock combination: a good overall setup is essential to get the most out of the range.
- Test during moderate sessions before intense matches—let your feet get used to them, check the fit, comfort, and absence of pressure points or friction before using them in long or intense matches.
