Just after your shoes are used and exposed to dirt, you need to keep your shoes clean. You should clean your shoes frequently not only to make your shoes look appealing but also to showcase your personality.


We have noticed that some players use running shoes while playing badminton, which is wrong, as running shoes don’t give you that extra support while moving in a badminton court. Non-marking shoes are essentially used for indoor sports such as badminton or basketball. The reason behind their use is that the outer layer of these shoes is softer than other shoes. These shoes' rubber is so smooth that it leaves no scuff marks on the floor and provides you enough resistance for perfect grip.

 A good pair of badminton shoes will be a supporting factor to win over your opponent. You might not notice it at first because of quick movements. But the reality is, to overpower your opponent; it does require good shoes to deal with the best shots

Here are some of the tips for taking care of your badminton shoes properly.


 

1.  Wear your non-marking badminton shoes only during the match. This is not just to support cost-effectiveness, but it is also a sense of discipline that shoes have uses and limitations. Your shoes will work as you wish if you are using them only during games.


2. You should buy separate shoes for jogging or other training exercises. Remember that badminton shoes are not used for jogging, although they may have the same function. 


 

3. Leave a thumb's width space when choosing a size. Comfort should be your utmost priority; therefore we suggest that a thumb's width space will promote not only comfort but also effective motion. Remember, during the match, you as a player will also wear a couple of socks. So it will also allow your feet to breathe. Moreover, because of tight shoes, you might start feeling pain and irritation also during the match.


 

4. Make sure your shoes' cushion doesn't get worn off. This is a basic comfort rule that will prevent pain during the match. As you know that jumping is one of the elementary movements while playing badminton. So if you feel some pain on your heels and ankles, it's a sign that your shoes' cushion is worn off and it needs to be replaced on an urgent basis.


Now let's discuss some of the ways to maintain your badminton shoes exquisite, appealing, and to increase their lifespan.. 



  • Magic eraser and clean wipe

Clean wipe and magic erasers have very efficient outcomes and on many websites, it is readily available also. It removes the stains, spots, and defects from your shoes in an excellent way.

 Many people use a piece of cloth or some other cleaning materials such as old socks to clean their shoes. Using this kind of stuff doesn't clean the shoes pretty well as a piece of cloth can't reach certain regions of your shoes. It will certainly leave some filthy areas. Therefore, using a toothbrush is the best way to clean those areas. A toothbrush will be able to reach every possible place and will be able to clean all types of spots, no matter where they are. You need to dip a toothbrush in lukewarm soapy water and rub it softly on the spots or dirt. You will see the difference as all sorts of spots will be going to disappear.
