As tennis players we understand the importance of shoes. It's not even safe to play competitive tennis in non-tennis shoes because they do not provide enough lateral stability. Training in the gym is no different. If you're serious about your fitness training then invest in your shoes. Most workouts you could do in your tennis shoes, however when lifting heavy weights during things like deadlifts, back squats, cleans, etc you will want an actual weightlifting shoe. Weightlifting shoes have a non-compressible sole creating stability so that all of your power is transferred into the ground allowing you to lift more weight safer.
