    I wear Yonex SHB 58, they are good and not too expensive. Only about £32 from direct sports, the badminton shop not the multisport shop

    ... He means here www.directsportseshop.co.uk you might want to see if you can get some discontinued models, they will be quite cheap. AFAIK SHB91 you can still fond for around £30

    Never use running shoes to play badminton in. They are specifically designed to run forward in which is why they curve towards the toe. This design makes it easier to roll over and twist an ankle.

    Lot's of good badminton shoes to choose from Yonex, Victor and Li-Ning. Asics make some very nice indoor court shoes as well, even if they are not specifically designed for badminton.
