Help w/ TYPES of shoes

[chisness]

I want to minimize the number of shoes I have and am pretty confused about which types of shoes are usable for which activities.

I do the following:
1.) Tennis
2.) Squash
3.) Working out
4.) Running - very rare
5.) Basketball - very rare
6.) Casual use

I plan on having:
1.) Tennis shoe
2.) Squash shoe (indoor court shoe)
3.) ????

Should I use my tennis shoe for working out and casual use? Should I get one additional shoe for both of these functions (running shoe? crosstraining shoe?)? Should I get multiple additional shoes to meet the above functions?

Playing basketball without basketball shoes is not a good idea.

You can substitute a running shoe for a tennis shoe, but it isn't optimal.

If tennis is your #1 sport, get a nice pair of tennis shoes. Then get a pair of running shoes (you can work out in these), basketball shoes (they will last a long time if you only wear them playing ball), and of course casual shoes is a whole different situation.

I have no idea what a squash shoe is, so I can't get into that.

This thread is worthless without pics of shoes. Actually, this thread is just worthless.

Agreed on basketball def needing it's own shoes, I can't beleive how big of a difference it is when I forget my shoes or a game breaks out and I don't have my shoes.

I have 1 pair of tennis shoes that I run, workout, tennis in, and one for basketball.

And then Adidas shell tops for casual use.
