How are the Tennis and Basketball socks different?Updated 5 days ago

Tennis and Basketball both have:

  • Cushion on the ball of the foot and heel
  • Flat knit instep (top of the foot)
  • Light padding in the arch for a better fit, more support and less pressure on the feet
  • A low-profile toe seam to protect against rubbing and irritation
  • Padding that completely covers the top of the toes to protect against fast stops and lateral movements

  • The difference between is that Basketball has extended heel padding to protect the Achilles tendon and Tennis will not.
