Your badminton shoes aren’t just footwear – they are the foundation of your game! 🏸
A good shoe can be the difference between victory and injury. In this shoe guide, I help you find the perfect shoes for your playing style.

✅Improve your game and prevent injuries with the right shoes

The perfect shoe and the right gear are more important than people think.

• A good shoe is just as important as a good racket 🏸

👟 What to consider when buying shoes

Quality and price

• Price and quality go hand in hand! 💰
  Choose a shoe that fits your foot well – good quality is more important than brand and design.
• Cheap shoes = often poor support ⚠️
  Low-cost models may lack both cushioning and stability. This can lead to injuries or quick wear and tear.

Shoe size

• Asian brands run small 🦶
  Go half to one size up in brands like Yonex and Victor.
• Try with badminton socks 🧦
  The fit changes depending on the socks – always try shoes with the socks you use in matches.

Foot width

• Choose width according to your foot 👣
  If you have wide feet, avoid narrow models – they will squeeze and irritate you during play.
• Women’s shoes = often narrower 🚻
  Women’s models are typically narrower – go for men’s shoes if you need more room.

Support in the shoe

The type of shoe you prefer depends on your individual needs. Some players want a lightweight shoe, while others prioritize support and shock absorption.

• Stability prevents injuries 🦵
  Direction changes and quick stops require supportive shoes – otherwise you risk sprains and strain injuries.
• Light vs. supportive shoes 👣
  Light = faster movement
  Supportive = better control and safety

Heel counter

A good heel counter is essential, especially in a sport like badminton where you constantly change direction and push your body to the limit. Here’s what to look out for:

• Support during direction changes 🛡️
  A solid heel counter keeps your heel and ankle in place. This reduces the risk of sprains and injuries, especially during intense moments.
• Prevents twisting injuries 🦶
  Have you had sprains or weak ankles before? Then a shoe with a firm and supportive heel counter is especially important. It stabilizes the joints and helps keep your movements safe.
• Supports both take-off and landing 💪
  A good heel counter not only helps during movement but also when landing after a jump. It prevents the foot from moving inside the shoe, which can cause injuries over time.
• Fit and comfort 👟
  You should feel “locked in” – in a good way. A well-shaped heel counter gives the feeling that the shoe follows your movements, not the other way around.

Outsole

The outsole plays a crucial role in your movement on the court. It determines whether you stand firm or slip at a critical point:

• The grip must be just right ✔️
  You shouldn’t slip or feel stuck. A good outsole has the right pattern and material, letting you move quickly and securely.
• Balance and flexibility ⚖️
  The shoe should move naturally with you. Choose an outsole that is flexible yet structured enough to keep you stable.
• Avoid hard soles 🚫
  Too stiff soles can reduce your contact with the floor and numb your foot feel. A softer sole offers better feedback and control.
