Introduction to how a pair of professional badminton shoes are made


A pair of professional badminton shoes begins as a design concept and then goes through a series of manufacturing and production stages before it can display the design feel and functionality of professional badminton shoes.

Let’s now see how the designer’s concept is transformed into a pair of professional badminton shoes!


1.Design confirmation step:
First, the shoe factory will make a paper pattern according to the design drawing; the overall upper design and materials will be confirmed numerous times with the designer.

2.Materials preparation:
All the materials for the upper and sole are prepared and cut into cuts, including vamp, outsole and insole cuts.

3.Sewing of the shoe upper (vamp):
The various cuts are sewn together and checked before going to the next stage.

4.Upper forming:
First, the heel shape is fixed then pulling thread from shoes is carried out (Note 1,) then the shoe last is inserted (note2) so that the upper fits snugly around the show last.

Note 1：The upper and the mid-sole are machine-sewn together

Note 2：The shoe last is a mold that is shaped like a foot

5. Outsole/Sole forming:
To ensure that the upper, the rubber bottom and the sole are glued tightly together; the glued surfaces are roughened and then glued together. After gluing, the sole is fixed so that the various parts stick together tightly.After this, the sole is inspected and is finished.

6. Shoe assembly:
To tightly join the upper and the sole the glued surfaces must be roughened and then pressed and held together.

7. Inspection and packaging:
After the shoe last is removed, an overall inspection is carried out; if no faults are found the shoes are packaged.

To complete the manufacture of every pair of high quality badminton shoes that have both design feel and functionality the shoes have to go through several dozen processes, requiring a large amount of labor and around 30 working days.

It is his meticulous manufacturing process that allows VICTOR’s badminton shows to maintain their professional image.

Insole Introduction


Insoles are always hidden away inside shoes, quietly looking after our feet, and, usually when people buy shoes, they don’t care much about what kind of insole they have and what benefits they can give.

With only people wanting to increase their height or who suffer from foot problems (such as those related to diabetes, plantar fasciitis, achilles tendonitis and abnormal arch etc.) learning about insoles and having special requirements of them.

Actually, insoles are as important as sports shoes; a good pair of sports shoes can only be regarded as perfect if a pair of good insoles is also used with them.

What counts as a good insole? What functions should they have? Several main points are listed below to help you understand：


1. Insoles can protect sports shoes:absorbing sweat and lengthening their use life


2. Insoles can protect the feet and prevent injury：


A. Using the correct insole supports the foot and disperses sole pressure.

•The result of a test using the same type of shoe is shown in Picture 1.The left side shows the maximum sole pressure when walking without using an insole.
•While the right side picture shows sole pressure when a VICTOR VT-XD7 insole is used.
•Using an insole clearly changes the distribution of sole pressure, sharing the pressure.
•That is concentrated at the instep when an insole is not used around the front, middle and back of the sole.)


B. Provides extra foot impact cushioning and vibration dampening during sport
•Different vibration dampening effect depending on the material used, density, hardness and shape.


* The red areas are where the pressure is greatest

3. Insoles can improve sports performance (special sports insoles)：


•Surface anti-slip fabric and design increases foot stability during sport.
•Flexible material increases the smoothness and speed of foot thrust
•Foot arch support design increases foot stability and slows the onset of foot fatigue.
•The covering design conforms with ergonomic foot shape design, increasing foot support, stability and wearing comfort during sport.

Due to the importance of insoles, VICTOR has developed three insole products for professional players: VT-XD7 (the left of Picture 2) and VT-XD5 (middle) and VT-XD6 (right).

Apart from the aforementioned functions, XD7 is made using highly elastic and light materal and has a weight reducing and heat dissipating design, giving a “burden-free” wearing feel.

XD5 has added anti-slip waves, side wall covering and arch support design; VT-XD6 is made using special durable, vibration-asbsorbing, bounce Poron material, that aborbs vibration at the heel and provides bounce at the front of the sole, increasing the sports performance of the wearer.

Finally, we’d like to remind players that the life of insoles is much shorter than the life of sports shoes. Using a flat and worn- out insole is equal to not using one at all, so please remember to replace old insoles when needed.This is critical to preventing foot injury!!!

Three Types of Badminton Shoe


It is extremely important to choose a suitable pair of badminton shoes for when you play. As well as avoiding sports injury, the right shoes can help you perform better. VICTOR’s R&D team has divided badminton shoes into three types according to different functions, each type unique in its own way. The three types of badminton shoe are explained below:

http://www.victorsport.com/files/idc...hoe_032101.jpg



SPEED：LIGHTWEIGHT & IGNITION

Badminton requires speed and agility; a shoe that allows you to move quickly around the court and is also lightweight can give you an advantage when you play.Ignition——due to improvement in the midsole structure and material, sudden impact is transformed into outstanding rebound, shortening the time required for each step. The lightweight design of the shoe, on the one hand. Reduces the burden on the foot and, on the other, substantially increases the speed of movement.

ALL-AROUND:：Encapsulation & comfort


Want to be able to smoothly perform the six-point footwork in badminton? What you need is a shoe with outstanding shield and comfort. ALL-AROUND type shoes have a balance between shock resistance, stability, ignition and lightweight. Shield－special shoe structure and material are used to increase the between shoe’s fit feel during movement. Whole shoe comfort design: the feeling of pressure on the feet during exercise is reduced; the feet won’t feel discomfort, even during intense play.

SUPPORT：Anti-Torque & Shock Resistance


“Forward, back, sudden turn, sudden halt” characterizes badminton footwork, requiring that a badminton shoe has shock resistance and anti-torque functions to allow a player to handle the extremely complex situation on court. Shock resistance－the structure of the sole and the material used combine to absorb the sudden impact that is created when jumping, thus reducing the chance of foot injury.Anti-torque－whole shoe support design is used to reduce foot twist when moving, strengthening the foot protection function.

VICTOR’s three show type system: SPEED, ALL-AROUND and SUPPORT combine the four big indicators shock-resistance, anti-torque, lightweight and ignition, allowing every player to choose the professional badminton shoe that best suits their own needs.

I don't know shoe technology indeed, but for me SH8500 is the best shoe I ever used.

keren juga ya teknologi nya
