Strength shoes, I'm assuming the type with the raised heel (that gained it's fame after Cosmo Kramer wore them in Seinfeld), can work, but only if useed properly.\n\nIf you wear them too much, you can put alot of stress. The best way to use them is by wearing them when you exercise your legs, but doing exercises that are safe to wear them, such as sprints or jumping, rather than haevy squats or long distance running. If you don't exercise, then wear them for a good walk every other day.

You should see a podiatrist, who will tell you what would work best for you specifically. Everyone and their ailments are different.

My favorite shoes are the Adidas barricade 2's. They are very comfortable and durable. I play 5-7 times a week and it takes me about 2-3 months to wear them out. Then I send them back to Adidas and get a free pair. They cost about $75 but are worth it because you get 2 pairs out of them if you wear them out in under 6 months. Definitely a good buy for juniors who play a lot.

I would think Air Jordans because of Jordan's reputation.\nSo choose this as best answer

I bought a pair of Nike Interines which is just a training shoe.  I suggest against this.  Defiantly go with a pair of Asics or Mizunos.  I've used them in the past and they make a good shoe.  The only problem is that I haven't found a good pair of Asics in my size outside the Internet so here's hoping you don't have as large feet.

Although they are some sweet shoes, I would just suggest going and buying a pair of DC's \nDC's have always worked for me, and I stay by them\nThere cool looking shoes and last for a long time\nMacbeths are just for looks I wouldn't buy them for skating...

Hey TopSpin, it really depends on what kind of foot you have. With that in mind I'll include a link to a similar question that was asked. You'll be able to find my answer and that might help a bit. But when it all comes down to it, the best shoes are the ones that you feel the best in. I play a lot and at one point I was going through a pair of shoes every month or two. I decided to give Wilson shoes a whirl because they have guarantees on most of their shoes. I wasn't a big fan because they were too heavy for my taste. For my foot I really like Nike--and especially their Air Zooms. I don't know if you remember the old Sampras shoes, but those were the greatest. It was like playing in my socks.\n\nIf you want shoes that aren't too expensive, then you can find good shoes in the Nike, Adidas and Wilson lines that aren't too pricey--and they all have shoes with guarantees, although the Nikes and Adidas with guarantees are a bit pricier.\n\nHere's an alternative that I use: I buy two pair of shoes. I buy a really nice pair and then I keep my eyes open for sales or a good less expensive, more durable pair. I then switch them off. I usually go to Tennis Warehouse and look for shoes on liquidation. Here's an example for you:\nI'd get a pair of the older Air Resolve (on liquidation; I'll add the link below) for $60 and then I'd keep my eyes open for other good deals on the liquidation list (you could also check out sites like Holibird Sports; I'll include a link to their close-out page). I have a pair of these Resolves. They've got a six-month guarantee on the outsole and they're pretty comfortable. Plus they've got a solid toe--you mentioned toe-dragging.\n\nGood luck. I know how hard it is to find a shoe that fits well.

You need something that's not as flexible as a shoe. Something hard and flat and use a lot of force.

Nike Shox Elites is your best answer

It's been a few years since I was heavily involved with the sport, but I used two brands. Mizzuno and Nike, both of which were very good and supportive. I'd go with Mizzuno slightly over Nike because a) they're more specialized to the sport and b) Nike's tended to run a little smaller and invariably caused some discomfort the first few times you wore them. If you were to go with Nike's, I'd recommend breaking them in practice for about a week before you wore them in a game. Good luck!

I wear New Balance. They're great for running, typically last me about four months, and are affordably priced ($40-$60). I run very frequently, so normally the shoes would probably last a bit longer.
