Badminton Insoles FAQs
Can you put insoles in badminton shoes?
Although badminton shoes are designed specifically to help improve your performance during the game, you can also use badminton insoles in your badminton shoes for additional support.
Adding an insole does reduce space inside the badminton shoe however, so you do have to be mindful of whether there is enough space to fit the insole in the particular type of badminton shoes you have.
Which badminton insoles shall I get for plantar fasciitis?
To ease the suffering from plantar fasciitis, get insoles with good arch support. This is because the pain is often caused when the plantar fascia absorbs too much shock, causing tearing. Having the correct support means less force is put on it.
Should badminton shoes be tight?
Badminton shoes should be reasonably tight against your feet so that your feet don’t slip inside the shoe. This is particularly key when moving around the court, stopping and starting abruptly.
However, you don’t want them to be too tight, as this may cause pain and discomfort. You may need to consider if you require wide fitting shoes if you find that your shoes are too tight.
How do I make my badminton shoes last longer?
Obviously, the more you wear a pair of shoes, the faster they will wear out. So you can prolong the life of your badminton shoes by exclusively wearing them for badminton. Don’t wear them for everyday use.
Using insoles may also help make your badminton shoes last longer as the insole will help absorb some of the impact, which can be a factor causing wear to your badminton shoes.
