Anyone think the adiPower Stabil 11 would be suitable for badminton? http://www.adidas.co.uk/adipower-stabil-11-shoes/M29601.html
After using yonex shoes for more than 15 years, I have shifted to adidas and have become a big fan. However, I'd recommend one with a gum (yellowish orange) sole. In the end, it boils down to personal comfort.

"Flexible and quite lightweight"......has obviously never held a decent badminton shoe in his hands...on the other hand, he also reviews the stabil, which feel roughly as flexible as bricks
As long as you know what it's relative to ... Saw the (2013) Court Stabil 10.1 (also "reviewed" by him/them in another video) at a local sportsstore a few months back, might make a decent shoe on a smaller budget (but mostly checked it out because of the nice colourway; the 11's in comparison look ~~). Iirc it was around 70 euro at the time, might have dropped by now, but for the same money you could probably find some older discounted higher end shoes as well . Videos (somewhat) helfpul when it comes to fit and cushioning; beats looking at pictures (but of course doesn't beat trying and returning yourself) ...
Has anyone tried the Quickforce 5 yet? Impressions? I'm wondering if the quickforce 7 is worth the extra money compared to quickforce 5
Adidas must have the worst PR for their products. Despite it is good brands, it is difficult for consumer to buy it and/or find review online before purchasing. I'm interested in their QuickForce7, but cannot find review anywhere. I thought after they launch badminton website, www.adidasbadminton.com, things will be better but no.
the website is not even accessible for parts of the world (here in Australia for example). And they launched it on global facebook page. What a joke. I can't even see the products online ? ?? ridiculous.
Seems like the Quickforce 7 is designed with European feet in mind. It's a tad narrower than the BT feather. I'm a bit disappointed.
Does anyone know whether the QuickForce 7 is available in Singapore? I'm going there next week and looking to buy for a pair.
Can anyone say how Quickforce 7 and BT Feather compare in sizing? I want to buy the Quickforce 7, can I go for the same size as for the BT Feather?
My opinion would be that the sizing would be similar to the BT Feather, or even a tiny bit bigger than the BT Feather. If possible, you may want to look for 1/2 size smaller if possible because of the slightly rounder toe area. Good luck with your purchase.
I have both QF7 and BT Feather. But I have the feeling that the QF7 is a bit more narrow at the toe area.
Has anyone tried the new ultra-light Adizero Feather Shoes and can tell somthing about how they perform on court? => Link The look is stunning:
