How to choose the safest badminton shoes?

　　Choose a pair of badminton shoes of the right size

　　The badminton shoes you choose must be slightly larger than ordinary shoes, otherwise your feet will feel uncomfortable when running. When choosing badminton shoes, you should pay attention to looseness in the front and tightness in the sides. The sides are tight to avoid side slipping and sprains; the front is loose to act as a buffer when surfing the Internet.

　　Generally speaking, badminton shoes are half to one size larger than normal shoes, but remember to wear professional badminton socks. A pair of socks is half a size, leaving half a size for your feet, which is just right. During the intense badminton exercise, the blood circulation of the feet is much faster than usual, and the congestion of the feet is also more serious than usual. Not to mention the small size, even if it fits perfectly when you try it on, it may feel tight after you get off the court.

　　Many badminton enthusiasts always feel that buying shoes one size too big will be very awkward. Every time they buy shoes, they have to consider buying shoes that are just right or even slightly smaller. This is very wrong:

　　1. If the toe cap is not loose, it is very likely to hit the longest toe when surfing the Internet, and in severe cases, the toenails will be damaged.

　　2. We usually don’t wear special badminton socks to try on shoes. The feeling itself is not accurate enough.

　　If the size of the sneakers is too large, it may feel awkward to walk up the stairs, and you may even have to kick up the steps. This is because our brains have become accustomed to the size of the shoes + feet. When doing the action of going up the stairs, the brain always uses the size of our commonly used shoe sizes as the standard for the distance to lift the legs and feet. This is to save maximum energy and is instinctive.

　　But badminton footwork is completely different from walking up the stairs, nor is it the same thing as walking. This is another reason why try to change your shoes only after arriving at the venue.
