Use the right shoes when playing Badminton

I write from experience. After a couple of weeks I developed pain in my heels. I was using a pair of "sports" shoes and not shoes made specifically for Badminton. After I switched to Badminton shoes I am doing fine!

In Badminton, you will be doing a lot of pivoting and fast movement, so you don't want to slip and need shoes that provide excellent grip. Also ensure that your Badminton shoes are used exclusively for Badminton. Do not use them for other sports.

Get the shoes from your local sporting-goods store and not from a shoe shop. Ideally, Yonex made or a similar brand recognized in the Badminton world.

One last thing, do not buy shoes with black soles. Black soles can leave scuff marks on the court.
