Can I wear basketball shoes when not on the basketball court?

See, I have basketball practice tomorrow, and I don%26#039;t have room in my backpack for my basketball shoes, and my mom says that I can%26#039;t wear them off the court cuz it will ruin the treads or something, but also I need to break them in cuz last game someone asked me why I didn%26#039;t have basketball shoes, which is how I figured out that I needed them, and we have another game soon. Also I don%26#039;t even know whether I need them cuz I am just on the JV team and I am not even that good.

Can I wear basketball shoes when not on the basketball court?
Firstly if you play. You need them to protect your ankles. Turn or sprain one, and you will know all about. Pain!!!


I wore basketball shoes for about 3 yrs solid when at school. No Problems. It%26#039;s good to break them in but, of course, they do ware out faster....
Reply:Of cos you can.
Reply:Of course, just dont drag your feet and dont wear on the street all the time.
Reply:well if you wear the shoes for a day it wont where the grips off. but while in basketball season dont wear them just to go out places becuase that will wear them down plus rocks will get stuck and it will ruin the floor also. good luck
Reply:As everyone above said, of course you can wear them. I recommend that you clean them when you get to the court, though. You want the rubber to be %26quot;squeaky%26quot; and not full of dirt. I recommend any kind of soap (dish soap, hand soap or anything that %26quot;cuts grease%26quot;) and water to get the oil off of the shoe bottoms you pick up from walking in parking lots and they should squeak like crazy when they dry. Make sure you get the soap all of the way off or you will definitely slip! Rocks are also bad, as someone else said, but you do need to break them in to be comfortable. You won%26#039;t be able to concentrate on playing well if your feet hurt. Hope this helps! - Kris B.
Reply:your realy not supposed to wear your shoes outside of the court, you should have a seperate pair, sandals are best. ya wearing them outside ruins them after awhile. to break them in then just wear them around the house.
Reply:u can wear them but they wont get ruined right away but the y get slipery so u slide alot so its better that u dont
Reply:you can but it wouldn%26#039;t be to smart cuz u would get dirt on them and u wil look like a fool falling all over the floor bring an extra bag to carry them
Reply:You can wear them anywhere you want but rember more wear= more tear
Reply:it%26#039;s not good for the shoes. don%26#039;t wear them on court after. varry them in a tote-like purse
Reply:I would advice you not to wear your bball shoes off the court if other stuff got on them when u do where them during a game all the stuff trapped in ur shoes is gonna cause u to slind around more. Also it could really ruin a expensive new pair of sneakers.
Reply:I would wear them!!
Reply:why not as long as you dont use it for skateboarding
Reply:Are you crazy? why would you do such a thing? im pretty sure its illegal in 24 states as well
