still in my quest for the perfect pair of badminton shoes. tried a pair of Gosen that seems to fit my strange wide feet well.

has anyone else tried Gosen's shoes before? how is the grippage? comfort? durability?

I tried a pair about 1 year ago. Fit our wide feet well, very good support and good traction. However, the arch area is too soft, during quick stop and fast acceleration, seems like the heel going one direction and the fore foot going other.

i think Gosen shoes are comfortable, at least the ones i have. The white with blue and red, and some silver kinda swirls. I like the grip, its good for me atleast. I just got these, and they dont seem to be falling apart (yet)

another thing i like about the Gosen SB330 shoes (the red/blue/white one) is that it is at a reasonable price of US$40, not extremely cheap, but more affordable than the US$50-70 dollars that hi-tec charge for their shoes. and i tend to buy two pairs when i buy shoes. just in case they discontinue the model in near future time.

That's right, these shoes are at closeout price. According to Gosen USA, they will not bring anymore shoes in because they are not profitable for them. Stock up if you like thier shoe.

thanks. i will go get a pair and see how they perform in the gym....
