folks, am looking to buy badminton shoes.... am considering a few brands as below : 1) Asics 2) Mizuno 3) Yonex .... appreciate your advice on the model no, place to buy & best price I can get ... am from Malaysia Kuala Lumpur.
Very subjective.....all 3 are sports equipment manufacturers and there is really no way of gauging effectiveness of these 3 brands. Hence, best way is to actually go and try all 3 of em' out and figure which is the best in terms of your budget, appearance & comfort.
i bought Asics as its the most comfy, more cushion and durable than yonex. entry level asics seigyo (rm170 pertama complex, rm200 studio r) is very comfortable, expecially the heel, grip is good but the shoe is slightly too flexible for my big toe. However you can get mizuno for 50% discount for last seasons stuff from large department stores like Sogo and Jusco.
sorry for misleading...yes, i wear asics gel but no mizuno. seem the model for asics & mizuno is moreless the same pattern, i assumed it give the same profile...this is my opinion, nothing to do with other people feet or feeling...
Personally,I still believe that sports specific shoes are more important then anything else to me.And of course,if it comes from a specific sports brand will be even better.Having said that,it's not that the other brands are no good,it's just that they might not perform as well as the rest.
