Hi i just started playing badminton and i need a good pair of shoes i always browse the forum for cheap shoes but the problem is that i am flat footed and i do not know if yonex makes shoes for flat footed players so if you are flat footed,please tell me what shoes you use and will some 1 tell me if flat footed me can wear yonex shoes i saw this pair of shoe on the forums Yonex Ultima 100 Pro ltd can a flat footed me wear this?
I m flat footer too I m a flat footer and i wear a pair carlton. I can bring u to the shop to get it. Earlier i thought there will be no shoes for me a flat footer but i found it My pair is within $50. Super cheap! I never like pay more to assist in advertising the brand, e.g Yonex
Yonex shoes does have much foot support for players (including flat footed) - if you look at their insoles, you will get an idea what I mean. I use Yonex shoes myself and am flat footed. If you can use the shoes with the insoles which come with it without disconfort then you should be ok, otherwise I would suggest using orthotic insoles.
Adding on to Matt's post... What's your weight, as I'm a flat foot myself and I feel Yonex's shoes' cushion is not enough (I'm pretty heavy). I prefer Mizuno's shoes because they have more cushion. Now I'm using Wave Blocker Lighting 6, before I was using Adidas Stabil 7 (I think that's what it's called).
I'm about 117 lbs. Yeah, I was going to consider getting Mizuno badminton shoes since they offer better foot support. I have to select my shoes carefully since I have narrow feet.
If you do consider buying Yonex shoes, you might have to do DinkALot's method of replacing the insole of your shoes to increase cushion and comfort.
