Choosing the Right Netball Shoes in Australia for Women
Buying the right netball shoes for women will largely depend on how you move on the netball court and what you need from your netball footwear. INTERSPORT offers women's netball shoes that are ideal for different playing characteristics and running techniques.Â
For example, if you do a lot of running on the court, you may want to enhance your speed with women's shoes that have a silhouette similar to that of running shoes. Perhaps you pivot on the netball court more than other netball players, so you may want netball shoes that offer more stability, or you may want a combination of both features, offering lightweight cushioning and medium-level support from your shoes.Â
Choosing the Right Netball Shoes in Australia for Men
Choosing the right netball shoes for men comes down to how you move on the court and the level of support you need. Netball involves quick changes of direction, repeated sprints and sudden stops, so shoes designed specifically for these movements help provide stability, grip and comfort during play.
Whether you prefer a lightweight feel for speed or added cushioning and support for more physical play, the right netball shoes can help you move confidently and stay comfortable throughout the game.
Choosing the Right Netball Shoes in Australia for Kids
Choosing the right netball shoes for kids (juniors) is important for comfort, confidence and safe movement on the court. Junior players are still developing strength, coordination and technique, so footwear that offers good grip, cushioning and stability can help support their growth and enjoyment of the game. Netball shoes for kids should feel secure without being restrictive, with enough cushioning to absorb impact from running, stopping and jumping.
FAQ'S
Do I need special women's shoes when playing netball?
Yes, you do need special shoes for playing netball. That’s because if you play frequently, you’re at a higher risk of sustaining injuries while running and playing, especially ankle and knee injuries. So, you’ll need shoes that support natural foot movements on the court.Â
Look for women's netball shoes that have supportive features, such as moderately wider platforms and outsoles that wrap around the edges of the midsole on the shoes. This offers you more protection from trauma, enhanced stability when making swift direction changes and assists in the prevention of injuries while running, such as inversion ankle sprains, which are quite common on netball courts. The right women's footwear will offer the support and comfort you need to play your best on the court.
What makes women's netball shoes different?
Women's netball shoes are meant to handle the lateral movements you make while running on the netball court. As a result, women's shoes have features that offer stability while keeping your feet on the platform. For example, the shape and width of the outsole of the shoes differ from running shoes. Also, netball shoes have a midsole that’s less prone to deformity. Women's netball shoes also have rubber outsoles shaped differently because they go up and over the edges along the midsoles of the shoes to protect the edges from excessive wear when running on the court.
Can I wear my running shoes for netball?
No, because the way your feet move when playing netball is relatively different from how they move when you’re running, so the shoes you wear need to be different from regular running or trail running shoes. One con of wearing running shoes when playing netball is that running shoes are designed for linear movement.Â
Running shoes are made with materials that aren’t suitable for cross-lateral or abrasion movements. Wearing trail running shoes or regular running shoes to play netball might seem like a great idea, but you put yourself at a higher risk of suffering injuries by not wearing netball shoes. Purchasing a high-quality pair of women's netball shoes is worth the investment.
How long do netball shoes for women last?
It’s not a secret that netball is one of the most gruelling sports on the lower limbs and feet, so having a good pair of shoes is a must. However, when it comes to the durability and comfort of your netball shoes, you must consider two crucial factors: the surface you’re playing on and your running technique. Knowing these will help you purchase netball shoes that are comfortable and durable.
The lifespan of adult women's netball shoesand junior girls’ netball shoes depends on the quality of the shoes and how frequently you play. The more frequently you play, the faster your shoes will wear out. Low-quality shoes will also wear out faster. If you play netball frequently, it is worth purchasing a high-quality pair. A high-quality pair of shoes may cost more, but the shoes will be worth the investment and last you longer.
