What is the difference between basketball shoes and badminton shoes?

There are more and more badminton fans in the gymnasium. But many people wear unprofessional shoes, such as basketball shoes, jogging shoes and canvas shoes. Badminton players at the national master level say that playing badminton requires sudden stops and sharp turns, and they have special requirements for shoes. Wearing inappropriate shoes is easy to get hurt and it is difficult to improve your skills.

The main differences between wearing badminton shoes and ordinary sports shoes when playing badminton are:

Badminton shoes have the following characteristics: lightweight design. Ordinary sports shoes, such as basketball shoes, need to protect the ankle joint, and the uppers are mostly designed to be high, hard and heavy. It is easy to sprain my ankle when playing badminton with basketball shoes.

Badminton soles are wear-resistant and non-slip. Badminton soles are made of raw rubber or beef tendon, with fine interlaced lines, high friction and good grip. However, the sole teeth of ordinary sports shoes are thick and easy to slip on the wooden floor.

Badminton soles have the functions of shock absorption and cushioning. Ordinary sports shoes have rubber soles. In the process of jumping to the ground, the sole of the foot can't play a buffering role and it is easy to get hurt.

Badminton shoes are flat-heeled, which is convenient for exerting strength. Many non-professional ordinary sports shoes have heels and are not suitable for playing badminton.

It is suggested to pay attention to the following points when purchasing special badminton shoes: 1. The size of the new shoes should be a little larger, so that you won't kick your feet when you stride forward. 2. Fold the sole by hand when buying, which has better toughness. 3, touch the vamp, feel soft, the fabric absorbs sweat and breathes.

It also reminds the fans that badminton shoes are best worn when playing, which can avoid the shoes getting dirty on the ground and the soles getting dirty and slippery.
