SHOES

Some claim there are no differences because women have been involved in the sport for many years and tend to have wider feet, but despite that, the shoe lasts remain different. Evidently, a women’s size 41 is not the same as a men’s 41. Women’s models are designed taking into account the specific characteristics of female players — both the shape of the foot and their physique. Women usually weigh less than men and, although they may be just as aggressive in their game and movements, their shoes endure less stress. We recommend that each gender wear footwear designed specifically for them.

As for women’s and junior shoes, there are also differences, but in this case, they are compatible. For example, a junior player with a high level of play but still a child’s foot can (and should) invest a bit more and move up to high-end junior models or women’s models built for adults. This way, the footwear will better support their health and improve their game.
