What are tennis shoes made of?

Tennis shoes are made of a combination of leather, rubber, plastic and canvas. The bottom sole of a tennis shoe is made of solid rubber, natural rubber or gum rubber. The rubber base ensures that the shoe has a durable and supportive foundation.

The middle soles of tennis shoes are made of polyurethane, foam pellets and rubber. This ensures that the shoe protects the foot and is comfortable and malleable. The upper part of tennis shoes is made of canvas, leather, synthetic leather or mesh. These materials come together to hold the shoe on the foot. The upper portion of the shoe is also the area where designers and manufacturers make the shoe creative, fashionable and distinctive.
