How To Choose The Right Badminton Shoes - What To Avoid And What To Look For?!

[@BadmintonInsight]

Hope you guys enjoyed this 👟 video, let us know if you watched until the end to see that final blooper! 🤣 And again, if you have any individual pairs of shoes you want us to review then comment down below! 🏸

Those bloopers were really funny 🤣 I'd like to see more 🤣 🤣 🤣

[@davew9995]

Crazy! I watched the racket review and was going to ask for a shoe guide. I just bought some asics gel blast 7 - highly recommended. Love the blooper reel :)

[@tha1chantana]

Are you kidding? We all are here for the blooper.

[@jasonurroz570]

Great video. Quick note about the survey question: Comfort and Support are two different things. Combining them as one answer in your survey skewed your results. Both of those answers are the best answers. However, if they were broken apart, people would have been forced to choose one over the other and your results may have been 40% support and 30% comfort... or vice versa.

[@fabricew3972]

Of course I made it to the end! What a brilliant video guys, clearly so much thought and attention has gone into it! You're right about the over 50's and knees too. Great education for the badminton world :)

[@BadmintonInsight]

Wow, thank you so much! Great to hear you enjoyed it 😊👍🏼

Bro be baking the expensive shoes even i don’t have a yonex shoes😢

[@amirizzat2215]

This is so right, I used to play asics court shoes when it comes to court activities. Then I went to the badminton place in my area to buy a new pair of badminton shoes, the owner guides me to choose a really proper shoes for a badminton play only. He measured my feet and the shoes condition also are very good. Then currently only using Victor shoes :D. Since that day, I can easily identified a really good badminton pro shop or just selling badminton goods and stuff to earning. Thanks to this video anyway, a lot need to see this.

[@BadmintonInsight]

That’s great to hear, you’re very welcome! Please share it with those you think need to see it 😀

[@cerberus_uwu]

Agree completely - one of the best investments I made in badminton was in proper badminton shoes. After trying a few, I opted for Babolat Shadow Tour badminton shoes and they're fantastic. Getting a suitable pair of shows for badminton is a must.

[@watchman835]

I put some olive oil, spice, salt and pepper into my newly bought Yonnex shoes and served it in the oven for 15 mins under 180c. It turned golden and crispy.

[@BadmintonInsight]

Hahaa 🤣🤣 Hopefully they tasted delicious!

The video has been made a year ago, but I watched only now and I was surprised to see a new member of team "Badminton Inside". It seems he is one of the first badminton players ever :)

[@7inchwrist915]

I think most beginners spend tons of money on rackets and not enough on shoes...I was definitely one of them. I also made a mistake thinking that I had wide feet so bought yonex cushion 65 wide. Found that my feet were sliding around too much inside so now just bought a pair of Aerus3... had a chance to try them on... definitely more snug fit so hopefully will offer more support. Imho try to avoid buying new pair of shoes base on hypes, reviews, looks etc etc...people need to try on shoes whenever they can before making a purchase. I already bought several products from TRME using your code (good to support local business anyway) and also joined your patreon last week. Keep up the good work and looking forward to the next video 👍

[@BadmintonInsight]

For sure! Finding the right pair of shoes for you is so important - it really can be the difference between feeling comfortable on court and feeling like you're walking on pins! Thank you so much for all of your support - on here, TRME, and Patreon. It means a lot to us 😊🏸🤗

[@RaviKiran-yg9mb]

You guys are so helpful and thank you for all the info it really saves us from getting a terrible injuries in the sport keep up the good work.

[@BadmintonInsight]

Thank you, glad you found it useful :)

[@alexlee9574]

I don’t think it’s the hole in the sole of the shoes giving it’s stiffness and support, it’s the TPU plate (carbon plate) in the sole that help with the support preventing twisting of our feet. As for the ankle lockdown, I agree with what you’ve said.

[@jaimegarch]

I love the deadpan opening sequence with the skeleton! And the shoe advice of course. 😁

[@ClearDropSmash]

Lovely video! A question for the next Q&A section: When do you typically replace the old shoes? We, regular club players, don't have the might to break the shoes in a short period of time and so we all have lots of semi-worn out shoes that are too good to throw away yet too soft to continue playing safely. So what is your criteria?

[@BadmintonInsight]

I (Greg) replace them when they break, Jenny replaces them when they get too smelly 😂

[@parulrohilla8197]

Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the correct kind of shoes to avoid injuries in the long run and to enjoy the game. I notice my shoes are not providing any ankle support and are bending quite easily. I'll change them asap. 😀

[@BadmintonInsight]

Yes, you should definitely consider changing them if they're not providing much support! Glad we could help 😊

@@BadmintonInsight There are a lot of awesome youtube channels for basketball shoes (weartesters) and football (bootnerds, unisport) but sadly none for badminton shoes considering how essential it is to the sport and are not exactly cheap 😄 I’ve tried a mizuno model before since it was used by Kenichi Hayakawa...amazing build quality and material but sadly grip was lacking on normal (unclean) court and I ended up getting a different pair of yonex shoes to switch to.

Jenny which brand /style do you recommend for cushioning?

[@joelwallenius2877]

Question! I live in Sweden. Badminton isn't huge here, best case we have ONE dedicated badminton shop in the country, and that's five hours away. So, online purchase - but even the Swedish online shops simply DON'T HAVE worthy arsenals of badminton shoes. If I go to Yonex's website and find a shoe that seems a good fit for me, it *doesn't exist* in Swedish online shops. So: since shoes really are a "try it before you buy it" thing, what's a player supposed to do here? Order five different models in the hope that one pair is perfect and then pretend I'm eating anything but noodels? Brr.

[@svenis97]

Yeah, badminton shoes may be the best investment a badminton player can make. When I first actually started to play badminton and trained my feet kept on hurting and it was hard to move as it felt like I could trip very easily which made me slower and kept me in a bad position. This is not actually limited to badminton. In general, having proper shoes for the right use is important since we literally always use it. That's why there's so many types of shoes all for different purposes. You certainly won't climb mount everest with some slippers. Just don't go overboard with buying the fanciest stuff out there. Get a mid-range one. If that breaks down then that's how you know you'll need to invest into a better one.
