Badminton Shoes

Court shoes built for badminton, in SS2 Petaling Jaya.

Badminton is played on the lunge and the recovery, not the run, and that is why running shoes are the wrong tool and a genuine injury risk. A badminton shoe has a non-marking gum sole for grip on a sprung or synthetic indoor court, a low profile that keeps your ankle close to the floor through a deep lunge, and reinforcement across the forefoot where the toe drag happens.

Fit differs by brand more than size charts admit. Yonex tends to run narrow, Victor wider through the forefoot, and Asics somewhere between. If you can, come and try a pair on - we are in SS2, open seven days.
