03 Quick answers

What should I prioritize first?

Fit and traction come first. Cushioning and weight matter only after the shoe holds your foot securely during stops and lateral cuts.

Should I size up?

Do not size up automatically. Check model-specific fit notes and try the correct width before adding length, which can create heel slip.

Can one pair cover every court?

Sometimes, but frequent outdoor play usually justifies a durable practice pair so your cleaner indoor traction lasts longer.
