How to choose a badminton shoe

Badminton shoes are lightweight indoor court shoes with a non-marking gum sole. The main differences are how much cushioning and support they give.

FeatureWhy it matters
Non-marking gum soleGrips indoor courts without leaving marks (usually required by halls).
CushioningAbsorbs impact from jumps and lunges; look for impact-relief midsoles.
StabilityA supportive upper and stable base protect the ankles on fast direction changes.
WeightLighter shoes help speed; a little more structure adds durability.

Caring for your shoes

  • Keep them for indoor use only, to protect the gum sole and the floor.
  • Let them air and dry between sessions.
  • Replace them when the cushioning packs down or the grip wears smooth.
