It’s so important it to wear the right tennis shoes when playing tennis. I hope my podcast with Foot Doctor Zach can help you.

Dr. Zach Thomas has built a significant following on social media as “Foot Doctor Zach,” where he tests tennis and basketball shoes. Dr. Zach is a board-certified Podiatrist and Foot and Ankle Surgeon. In this podcast, we talk about his favorite tennis shoes, things to look for in finding the right shoe, and why pros rarely upgrade their shoes.
