Now, more and more fans are playing badminton in the gymnasium. But many people wear unprofessional shoes when playing, so they use basketball shoes, jogging shoes and canvas shoes. Experts say that playing badminton requires an emergency stop and a sharp turn, and there are special requirements for shoes. Wearing inappropriate shoes is easy to get hurt and it is difficult to improve your skills.
Experts believe that badminton shoes should have the following characteristics: First, they should be light in design. Basketball shoes need to protect my ankle, and the uppers are often designed to be tall, hard and heavy, so playing badminton with basketball shoes is easy to sprain my ankle.
Secondly, the soles of badminton shoes should be wear-resistant and non-slip. Badminton soles should be made of raw rubber or beef tendon, with fine interlaced lines, high friction and good grip. However, the soles of running shoes are thick and easy to slip on the wooden floor.
Also, the soles of badminton shoes should have shock absorption and cushioning functions. On the other hand, canvas shoes have rubber soles. In the process of taking off and landing while playing, the sole can't play a buffering role and it is easy to get hurt.
Badminton shoes should be flat-heeled, which is convenient for exerting strength. At present, although many non-professional shoes have heels, they are not suitable for playing badminton.
Experts suggest that the following points should be paid attention to when purchasing special badminton shoes:
1, the size of the new shoes should be slightly larger, so that you won't kick your feet when you go forward.
2. Fold the sole by hand when buying, which has better toughness.
3, touch the vamp, feel soft, the fabric absorbs sweat and breathes.
Experts also remind badminton enthusiasts that badminton shoes are best worn when playing, so as to avoid the shoes getting dirty on the ground and the soles getting dusty and slipping.
