Once this summer I filled in last minute for someone who didn't show up - I was early for my game and I didn't have time to change my shoes - I was wearing my running shoes. About 3 trips up and down the court, all I could think about was I couldn't wait for halftime so I could change into my basketball shoes. It puts a strain on your ankles because there's just no support. The comfort becomes a moot point because you move laterally so much it begins to be uncomfortable.

I'm no expert, but I would recommend basketball shoes. I'd ask you this - would you wear your running shoes to play a game of basketball?
