YONEX SHB 03 Z CORAL RED — When buying badminton shoes, it is important to know the surface you are playing on.

Badminton shoes have to fit properly; that’s a given. But what else do you need to know?

Believe it or not, where you play will influence your shoe selection.

Here in Calgary, for example, someone who plays at Clear One Badminton Centre you will probably want different shoes than someone who plays at Sunridge Badminton Centre. People who play at Smash City, meanwhile, may want a completely different shoe that for either of these places.

This is because the best shoe depends to a great deal on the surface you are playing on. Clearone has hardwood floors. So most players will want to choose a shoe with additional cushioning. Sunridge and Smash City have mats, but they are different brands (Victor and Black Knight) and different qualities, so the shoe you pick for each may be slightly different.
