how to get Mizuno shoes in Europe/germany

[TrueBlue]

I heard that mizuno badminton shoes are very good in general. Since i had lots of problems with shoes i want to give them a try.
I live in germany. Does anybody know where i can order this shoes in germany or in europe? And: are mizuno shoes bigger than your normal shoes or smaller (i cannot try them..).
Thx
(i cannot read japanese so pls don`t post the link to mizuno homepage japan)

i finally found the european homepage, but all the shoes are declared to be volleyball-shoes. Are their any badminton shoes on this site?

I Believe a lot of the users on BF use the shoes originally designed for volleyball anyway.

They may be able to import them to you if you ask them (although probably more expensive)

thx a lot. but if they only have the volleyballshoes - which modell would you suggest to buy?

To be honest I have never tried them, or even seen anybody using them here, so I couldnt reccomend you them from looking at the pictures.


I am sure somone else will be able to advise:

thx again. i think i`ve read all threads about mizuno and asics now. anyway there are two different opinions: some say its better to use other shoes like asics or karakal, if you can get only volleyball shoes (9-serial) but no badminton shoes by mizuno (7-serial).
others say mizuno shoes are the best (much better than yonex).
But if they are so good wouldnt the japanese athletes (they use mizuno shoes I learned by reading the threads) be better? (i mean shoes are important and all other pros seem to use yonex)..

Hi Trueblue,

I am currently wearing Mizuno Wavelightening and I really love it. It has much better traction then my old running and greatly improve my game. I highly recommend Wavelightening model however, the price is pretty steep here in USA. I paid $93.00 for a pair. Hope this helps!

you can try http://www.bbesports.com
Its a chinese web site and there is english version.
Prices are ok but shipping charges are a bit steep.
i belive many people bought mizuno volleyball shoes because it is cheaper or
local distibutors do not import higher end badminton shoes.
i got a pair of mizuno wave blocker2 shoes,find them very good as it fits my feet contour and are very light weight, well cushion and design are quite attractive also,
price here in singapore is SGD$90.

is this only a problem with my computer or is it the same with you?
i tried over half an hour..

It happen to me yesterday night also.I can't even open any hyper link in any section on that web site. I just tried today it was ok. I guess bbesports flooded
with web surfers last night. Mizuno 7KM-40009 are higher end badminton shoes which i dream of buying it. Hope i can save enough $$$ to order 1 pair for me and my wife by next month.

I think many people were looking for a mizuno badmintonshoe trader.
I emailed them today.
My former shoes were victor combat 3000. i used them 3 times until the front broke...
