    Hi there, could someone give me some advise on choosing the right yonex shoe size please? Any input will be greatly appreciated.

    Some websites claim the yonex badminton shb shoes come with a smaller size while other sites don't mention about this at all. The smallest size for me is US. 8 but I am a lot more comfortable with US. size 8.5.

    Have a nice day fellas!

    I'm UK size 8 1/2 which is I think is US 9 and International 43.

    I often heard that Yonex shoes should be bought one size larger, but the size 43 SHB-200 was just right for me.

    I wouldn't recommend buying shoes off the web though, unless you've been able to try them on somewhere - better pay a bit more & get them from a bricks'n'mortar sports shop.

    Hey Peter, thanks for the input.

    You are definitely right about the sketchiness of purchasing shoes online, especially for someone like me who has never tried Yonex brand shoes before. I suppose my best bet is to find a local dealer.

    Thank you:)

    I'm normally a UK size 7 and had to get size 8 in Yonex sizings. Hope this helps.

    Hi, thanks for sharing the experience. It is helpful indeed, otherwise I would have bought a size that will not fit. Thanks and enjoy the games:)
