Badminton shoes

The different types of badminton shoe

As mentioned earlier, there are different types of shoe. Here's a quick guide:

The lightweight/flat type: This is a classic and often light badminton shoe that gives you good contact with the floor. They often have less shock absorption in order to make them light and fast. 

The narrow type: A narrow model fits closer to the foot. Several women's models are most often narrow and many Yonex badminton shoes are also unisex models to suit junior players, men and women. 

The wide type: For those with wide feet, a wide badminton shoe is naturally the optimal choice. These provide more room for your feet so they don’t feel like they’re being squished. 

The one with plenty of shock absorption: By choosing a type with lots of shock absorption, you choose good support and comfort. These shoes are always popular as they provide a great fit and great stability. Suitable for those who have minor aches and pains and need more support.

The neutral type: Anyone can play in this shoe, regardless of level or size. They are also very popular badminton shoes as they sit well on almost all feet. A reliable choice. 

In addition, the heel cap is important as you must have incredibly good stability in your long strides. So it’s also no use to play in running shoes or soccer shoes as they are not built for the demanding badminton sport. 
Shock absorption is a keyword in badminton footwear and it is of course super important. It helps give 20% more support allowing you to spare your body especially from all the jumps and changes of direction. 
When talking about the forefoot and the stability around the ankle, you should think about the fact that your shoes are under constant pressure and so they must be incredibly stable and fit your foot well. 

Obviously, the more you play, the more expensive a model you need, as there are clearly more demands on placed on the quality of the shoe when playing so much. We also recommend two pairs if you play more than three times a week, as the shock absorption is the first thing to wear out. This cannot be seen with the naked eye, but it is an extremely important thing when playing badminton to get the bounce and shock absorption you need, otherwise you many be prone to injury and losing your footing.
