Question: If my feet hurt after playing tennis for a couple of hours, do I need different shoes or can it be helped with insoles?

Answer: Insoles might help, but you should also look at buying shoes that provide the padding you need. It’s also good to alternate between two pairs to help extend shoe life and minimize wear and tear on the padding.

Thanks Marla!
