Low Foot/Ankle SupportHigh Foot/Ankle Support
The Yonex Power Cushion Comfort Z3 mens badminton shoe offers some of the best cushioning and support on the market. Providing ultimate impact protection on joints combined with superb grip and energy transfer into each movement, this shoe is designed to maximise high performance and comfort.
The Comfort Z3 is one of Yonex's most technologically advanced shoes ever and looks set to become a favourite amongst serious players. The Yonex Power Cushion Comfort series has always been renowned for it's high level comfort and stability, however speed and performance has been upgraded with the addition of Feather Bounce Foam (originally launched in the ultra-light Aerus Z shoe) combined with Feather Light X, Yonex’s lightest midsole material.
Grip on the sole unit has also been enhanced with the inclusion of Radial Blade Sole (originally launched in the ultra-stable Eclipsion Z2). This new sole pattern increases traction for rapid footwork and movement in any direction.
Innovations include:
POWER CUSHION+
The impact in every step is energy you can use for your next move. By improving shock absorption, the POWER CUSHION+ technology transforms impact into energy. A 28%* increase in shock absorption and a 62%** increase in repulsion when compared to the standard EVA materials.
*Measured by the Japan Vehicle Inspection Association
**According to research by the Boken Quality Evaluation Institute, JIS Law is applied
3D POWER GRAPHITE SHEET
Yonex’s proprietary graphite sheet is built to flex and generate power with each step, while providing stability from unwanted twist.
Feather Bounce FOAM and FEATHER LIGHT X
Feather Bounce FOAM is a lightweight, high repulsion material built to support agile, fast-paced footwork. The Feather Bounce FOAM is 8% lighter in weight, while generating 20% more repulsion than the previous COMFORT models. FEATHER LIGHT X is Yonex’s lightest midsole material, providing smooth, fluid footwork.
*Tested by Yonex
RADIAL BLADE SOLE
The grip pattern of the sole has been redesigned creating the RADIAL BLADE SOLE. By finely arranging a windmill shape that combines areas with large and small indentations, the weight of the shoe is dispersed, and the grip is improved by approximately 3%*. Resulting in a grip that supports quick dashes and sudden stops.
FLEXION UPPER and Inner Bootie
The FLEXION UPPER is a soft stress-free design with minimal material overlap and a larger seamless surface for a more comfortable fit. An Inner Bootie is integrated into the shoe replacing the conventional tongue for improved comfort and better all-around fit.

Badminton Shoes – what are the key things to look for when choosing?
A number of the above aspects we try to answer for you in our product performance bars, giving you an understanding of both support and what player level the shoes are intended for.
1. Shoe Support
In our opinion probably the most underappreciated aspect of choosing badminton shoes. Look at the amount of players our there that need knee supports later on in life! Why is this often the case....well usually its because of either bad technique or poor footwear.
You can see on all our Badminton Shoe pages, the level of support the shoe offers is graded, use this as a guide.
2. Comfort & Fitting
These are technically 2 aspects but effectively they cover the same thing. We list all shoes stating how true the fit of the shoe is, both in terms of length and width. This is particularly key for players with narrow or wider feet than the normal person.
In addition to this, look out for the “Designed For” Feature shown in our description section, this will sometimes say “Comfort”. Where this is the case, it means when we've checked the shoes out, and the main strength/focus on the shoes is to provide comfort to the foot when playing.
3. How Lightweight they are
A lightweight shoe is great for players who need fast movement, however this often comes at a cost in reduced shoe support & durability.
On our product pages for Badminton Shoes you can see under the “Designed for” feature if it says “Lightweight”.
4. What Player level the badminton shoes are intended for
We list below each shoe the player level from 0-100, in a graph bar. Obviously if you're a lower level as a player you can still go for a higher level shoe. It simply shoes up to what level of player the badminton shoes can be used for.
5. Shoe Durability
Typically, it's the more you spend....the most durable the shoe is likely to be. Also shoes that state are “Designed For” “Strong Support”, will be more durable than a lightweight slimmer lined shoe.
6. How it looks
Obviously everyone wants to look good when playing.....this one is down to personal preference!
