Shoes

I've noticed a lack of support in the running shoes I've been playing with the past year, which culminated saturday in my rolling my ankle over the ball. I think part of the problem is these shoes were bought specifically for jogging, and not cross-training type activities.

My thoughts are that tennis shoes or basketball shoes would be better. They'd offer the added ankle support needed when stop-and-going, turning, etc....body movements we see in street hockey that are similar to the movements in tennis and bball. But I also wonder if bball shoes (read: hightops) would be too heavy.

Anyone experimented with this before, or have recommendations?

Tennis shoes have worked well for me. I'm sure onlineshoes.com can hook you up.

Yes. Onlineshoes.com has all of the best options for street hockey. Geoff Werbicki once recommended the following:

Item # 135394 – Nice low top basketball shoe should work well for pavement and court play
(type this item number in onlineshoes.com)

Item # 116498 – Great support and well padded toe. Good for anyone interested in high-tops.

Item # 24374 – Classic soccer flat – means great shoe for moving in any direction. Great for indoor play. Very light and offers a snug fit.

Item # 128732 – Same as above, but offers better traction on a variety of surfaces and has a more supple form fitting leather upper.

Item # 93931 – Cross trainer designed with lots of cushion and great for any range of movement. Low heal offers stability and mesh breathes well (but doesn’t protect the toes)
