How often do I need to get new basketball shoes?

Just wondering. I played almost the entire game of everygame last year (small team) plus I wore them for practice and a few week-end tourtaments. How often should I get new basketball shoes?





I am a 14 yr old, female, high school freshman this year

How often do I need to get new basketball shoes?
if u like ur shoes then u dont need to get a new pair for along time but if they start to feel uncomfortable u may as well get a new pair
Reply:it depends on the wear and tear of the shoe....if the sole wears out you should buy a new pair....grip is reaaaallly important...if there any other rips, tears, etc...u should buy a new pair....my suggestion is...during practice u should have a crappy pair of shoes, not too expensive...but during games and tourneys u should spend a decent amount of money on excellent shoes...because a good pair always makes a difference





just an interesting fact...Jerry Stackhouse used to wear a brand new pair for every game
Reply:if your shoes are worn out...if it's uncomfortable...if you out growed the size already...
Reply:It's all about comfort. Feels good=keep them. feels bad=throw them thats how I go.
Reply:Well indoors I would say only buy new shoes every season. Though when I played I had more then one pair. One pair is good enough to last you a whole season and its better on your feet once the shoes are worn in instead of having that new feel to them. So one pair a season.
