Outsoles
Herringbone for turf, omni for hard courts. The outsole decides how you grip the surface. It does not decide how your foot grips the shoe.
Inside the shoe
That is the insole's job. Most stock insoles do nothing here: no arch, no heel cup, nothing that stops the foot sliding forward on a brake.
Grip the court with the outsole. Grip the shoe with the insole.
Care
Air them out, do not leave them in the bag. Replace the insole every season, before the shoe.
