Yonex Tour Dominant 2 Badminton Shoes - Hyper Royal / Midnight Navy

Built for the Court. Engineered by Yonex.

The Yonex Tour Dominant 2 is a serious performance badminton shoe built for club players and competitive athletes who demand precision, protection, and all-day comfort. Trusted by players across North America and tournament courts worldwide, the Tour Dominant 2 carries Yonex's four-decade legacy of court footwear innovation into your next match.

Tru Cushion Technology — The Science Behind Every Step

At the core of the Tour Dominant 2 is Yonex's proprietary Tru Cushion midsole — a polyurethane compound engineered for maximum shock absorption and rapid compression recovery. Unlike standard EVA foam that flattens after sustained play, Tru Cushion's open-cell structure retains its shape set after set, delivering consistent underfoot protection whether you're in the first rally or the fifth game. The Tru Shape last mirrors the natural contour of the foot, providing lateral stability in the forefoot and toe box — exactly where badminton players need it most during explosive lateral cuts.

Who Is This Shoe For?

The Tour Dominant 2 is ideal for intermediate to advanced badminton players who play multiple times per week and need a shoe that keeps up. If you're upgrading from a running shoe or a beginner court shoe, the structured lateral support and non-marking outsole will immediately change how you move on court. It's also a strong choice for players managing knee or ankle fatigue, thanks to the energy-return properties of the Tru Cushion compound.

FAQ Section


Q1: What makes the Yonex Tour Dominant 2 different from other badminton shoes? The Tour Dominant 2 uses Yonex's Tru Cushion polyurethane midsole, which offers superior shape retention and shock absorption compared to standard EVA foam. It also features a Tru Shape last contoured specifically for badminton movement patterns, providing enhanced stability during lateral cuts — something general athletic shoes don't offer.

Q2: Is the Yonex Tour Dominant 2 a non-marking shoe? Yes. The Tour Dominant 2 features a non-marking rubber outsole, making it approved for use on all indoor badminton court surfaces including wooden sprung floors, PU courts, and synthetic mats. It will not scuff or leave marks.

Q3: How does Yonex Tour Dominant 2 sizing run — true to size or narrow? The Tour Dominant 2 runs true to standard US sizing with a regular fit width. Players with wide feet may want to size up by half a size. The shoe is listed in US Men's sizing; women should add approximately 1.5 sizes (e.g., Women's 10 = Men's 8.5).

Q4: Can I use badminton shoes for pickleball or squash? Badminton shoes like the Tour Dominant 2 can be used for pickleball and squash as a secondary option — the non-marking outsole and lateral support are well-suited to both. However, for regular squash play, a dedicated squash shoe with a reinforced toe cap offers longer durability. 

Q5: What is Tru Cushion technology in Yonex badminton shoes? Tru Cushion is Yonex's proprietary midsole material made from polyurethane rather than standard EVA foam. Its open-cell structure absorbs impact from jumping and lunging while recovering its shape quickly between movements. The result is consistent cushioning throughout long matches — a key advantage for club and tournament players.

Q6: How do I clean and care for Yonex badminton shoes? Wipe the upper with a damp cloth after each session to remove court dust. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or machine washing, as this can degrade the Tru Cushion midsole. Allow them to air-dry naturally away from direct sunlight or heat sources, which can cause the rubber outsole to crack over time.

Q7: What's the price of the Yonex Tour Dominant 2 in the US? The Yonex Tour Dominant 2 is available at TopCricketStore with competitive US pricing and free shipping on orders over $100. Check the current price on this page as it may vary by size and colorway.

Q8: Are Yonex Tour Dominant 2 shoes good for beginners? The Tour Dominant 2 is built for intermediate to advanced players and is an excellent step-up shoe for beginners moving beyond gym trainers.
