I need new shoes. How do I decide which shoes to buy? Which shoe is best, and what matters in deciding?
These will be my primary shoes. Mostly, I play in a gymnasium; however, I want them to perform well on grass and street.
They need to work well for all sports: football, basketball, soccer, tennis, etc.
Which brand is best? Nike, Reebok, Adidas, New Balance, etc.
What type of shoe? Bball, Football, Outdoor, Running, Tennis, etc.
What features should I really look for?
You get the point, basically I want to buy a pair of shoes (teen guy), and I want them to perform well in all situations...like I said, primarily indoors (bball court), but a good bit of outdoors and concrete as well...
Online shoe sites (nike.com, reebok.com, others) have hundreds of shoes to choose from and I can't tell which ones are designed for what.
Any help is appreciated.

Just get ones you think look cool and fit well. Different brands work for different people, so you might need to experiment. I find that Skechers work best for me, and I for athletic stuff I buy Adidas.
A good brand might be Nike, Fila, or Adidas. But don’t get those bulky/chunky shoes.
I like Nike especially Team Jordan line and Shox, Air Max, Air Dunks, Forces. Very comfortable, fashionably appealing, versatile. I like prices too, affordable. I like Puma also, but not very good for all sports.
um here is the advice just go to any shoe store and try on all shoes and then pick one of the comfterble shoes and then look at their brands!
which barnds yo choose and I’m sure that you gonna choose 3,2 pair of shoes with the same brand and that means they good for you!!
Don’t shop for a brand, shop for a fit.
Go to a shoe store that specializes in running shoes and try on several brands. Don’t buy something because you like the color. Tell the salesperson the activities you are going to be doing. Walk around the store. If the store has a treadmill, try them on the treadmill.
Don’t forget to take a pair of your own socks, the style you always wear for workouts. Stores will have a supply of socks, but you can’t count on them to have the style and thickness that you like.
Just a note, most running shoes are not build to take lateral stress. If you are going to participate in activities that require hard side-to-side action, such at basketball or tennis, make sure that your shoe is built to take it.
Since you intend to play multiple sports in the shoe, get a cross-trainer. It should be ok for different sports.
The other choice would be to pick the sport that you do the most and get a shoe specifically for that sport.
You would do better going to a “real” shoe store as opposed to an online store. That way you can try on different shoes until you find the best one for your feet.
