Getting Started - Shuttles - Footware

The arrival of the modern day leisure centre has not only increased the number of facilities available to us for badminton, it has also forced the more sensible player and parent Into greater thought regarding the selection of suitable footwear. This is because the majority of new local authority and school venues have floors constructed of concrete, or some other similar substance, and have no give in them whats ever. Consequenlly the wearing of inadequate footwear in a sport where starting, stopping, jumping, landing and lunging figure prominently will atford little protection to the joints, especially the knees and ankles.

If you intend to become a regular player, it is important that the shoes you select provide adequate protection by way of cushioning and good grip. A little care and forethought when purchasing your footwear will reduce the likelihood of injury now, minimize the amount of heartache and pain in the future and even help prolong your playing career.

There are many specialist sports shops that stock purpose made indoor sports footwear. You will need a lightweight shoe with a sole that should have a non-marking, well defined tread to assist with grip. The heel should be rounded to reduce the chance of slipping. The insole should be adequately cushioned and together with the sole of the shoe should act as a shock absorber and reduce the chance of painful shin splints and heel jar. You can also purchase separate rubber inserts for the whole shoe or just the heel.

The uppers should be of a material that permits the feet to breathe, and while the shoe should be substantial it should also be flexible. Some players drag their toes when playing certain shots; if you fall into this category look for shoes that have protective material incorporated into the front.

Do take your time when considering and choosing this most important item, and replace your shoes as soon as they are past their best.
