Yonex Size Guide
Yonex is a premium Japanese sports brand renowned for manufacturing high-performance badminton, tennis, and athletic equipment. Known for meticulous engineering and quality craftsmanship, Yonex produces footwear and apparel specifically designed for racquet sports enthusiasts and professionals. The brand's sizing philosophy emphasises comfort, performance, and durability, with particular attention to the demands of court sports. Yonex products are engineered for players of all levels, from beginners to elite athletes, and the brand maintains consistent sizing standards across their international ranges. Whether you're purchasing shoes for competitive play or sportswear for training, Yonex sizes are calibrated to provide optimal fit and support during lateral movement and rapid directional changes typical of badminton and tennis.
How to Measure
To ensure you select the correct Yonex size, follow these step-by-step measurement instructions:
- For Footwear: Put on the socks you intend to wear whilst playing (typically badminton or tennis socks). This ensures an accurate fit when wearing your actual sports gear.
- Measure Your Foot Length: Using a measuring tape or ruler, measure the length of your foot from the tip of your longest toe to the back of your heel. Ensure your heel is flush against a wall or flat surface.
- Record in Centimetres: Note your measurement in centimetres, as Yonex sizing charts primarily reference CM measurements. This is the most accurate standard for shoe sizing.
- Add Wiggle Room: Add an additional 1–3mm to your measurement to allow for natural foot expansion during play and to prevent your toes from pressing against the shoe during lateral movement.
- Refer to Size Charts: Using the adjusted measurement in centimetres, locate the corresponding UK, US, or EU size in the shoe size conversion table below.
- For Clothing: Measure your chest (at the fullest part), waist (at the narrowest point), and hips (at the fullest part) whilst wearing normal clothing. Use a soft measuring tape and ensure it sits comfortably—not too tight or loose.
- Check Product-Specific Charts: Always refer to the specific product size chart, as fit can vary between different garment styles and collections.
Important: Yonex shoes, particularly in sizes below UK 9, may fit smaller than standard UK sizing. It is advisable to go half a size up for optimal comfort, especially if you're between sizes. For sizes UK 9.5 and above, Yonex shoes typically fit true to size.

Badminton Shoes — Product-Specific Guidance
Yonex badminton shoes are engineered specifically for the lateral movements and explosive directional changes required in badminton play. The brand offers shoes across multiple collections, each with consistent sizing within the ranges above. When selecting Yonex badminton footwear:
- Support and Comfort: Yonex badminton shoes feature reinforced lateral support and responsive cushioning. Proper sizing is essential to prevent blistering during extended matches or training sessions.
- Sizing Below UK 9: If your measured foot length corresponds to a UK size below 9, it is advisable to select a half size larger than your standard UK shoe size. Yonex shoes in this range tend to fit more snugly than conventional footwear.
- True to Size (UK 9.5+): For UK sizes 9.5 and above, Yonex badminton shoes generally fit true to size, providing a comfortable fit without the need for upsizing.
- Width Considerations: Yonex does not typically offer a "wide fit" in badminton shoes. If you have particularly wide feet, you may need to size up by half or full size to accommodate your foot width comfortably.
- Sock Selection: Always measure whilst wearing badminton-specific socks, as these are thicker than standard everyday socks and occupy additional space within the shoe.
- Between Sizes: If your foot measurement falls exactly between two sizes, it is preferable to opt for the larger size rather than the smaller. A slightly loose shoe is more comfortable than one that is too tight during dynamic play.
Important: This page provides essential and expertly curated size conversion information that should be used in conjunction with the complete interactive tools available at sizechart.uk. For the most accurate size conversions and access to our comprehensive database of brand-specific charts, measurement guides, and real-time conversion tools, please visit the full website. The information presented here represents only a portion of our complete sizing resources and should be evaluated within the context of your specific sizing needs and the brands you're shopping for. It is impossible to determine the anatomical size of a shoe or clothing item without the use of a measuring tape or ruler in conjunction with the size chart.
