    Hey I am looking at buying new badminton shoes but im not sure wether to go for yonex 99s or whether to go for another make. They have to be good quality in comparison to yonex shoes and if anyone has any suggestions can they tell me where to get them from.

    Thanks :)

    Wingeebadminton is fine. There are many people in this forum here who have bought from them including me.

    The worst part of wingeebadminton is their email system. They take a while to reply but will get what you want in the end.

    back to topic.

    if you are looking for alternative, try to see if you can find Hi-Tec shoes in the UK. Mizuno also makes good shoes but not sure if they have distribution in the UK.

    You can also try Adidas shoes. I am currently using one and i don't see much difference in performance apart from the Adidas shoe being half price of Yonex shoes.

    Try looking for Adidas stabil shoes

    Try Mizuno court shoes.
    They are more durable than YOnex shoes. =)
    At least for me

    Mizuno shoes.

    They have 'wide' feet models and longer lasting than Yonex.
    (in my opinion)

    Similar question so I didn't want to open a new thread. Seeing as it's hard to find badminton shoes in the US, would volleyball or tennis shoes work, too?

    Tennis shoe isn't a good idea but volleyball shoes are fine. I would use cross trainers shoes instead of tennis shoes.
