Also UAE being a tropical location and sweltering hot, a pair of good shoes are important not just for gaining ground but also for protecting oneself from heated up surfaces. Here are some of the factors to be taken into consideration while choosing a pair of good shoes for practicing basketball or badminton in the UAE.

1. Depending on Your Playing Frequency

Depending on the choice of sport, the shoes will be specifically suited to the requirements of the game. If you play badminton more frequently, you will need more badminton specific shoes which come with a lining of cushioning to absorb the impact on feet during swift movements.

However, if you are keener on basketball, then your shoes need to be different. Basketball sneakers are heavier with shock absorbers to protect feet from wear and tear during aggressive movements or jumping. Moreover basketball sneakers re also meant to protect the user’s feet during body contact moments while tackling or dribbling.

2. Wear-Resistance
