The Yonex Power Cushion Comfort Z3 womens 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.

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.

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.
