Hi everyone, i'm newbie here. What is "sticky" means? And my main question is... I used to use shb sc5ex, and i read that it got anti-twist system and i can see it functional. The problem is, i use shb87ex now and twist my ankle this sunday. Does every yonex shoes have that anti-twist system on them? If not, what type of shoes which do? Thank you for your kind attention
This model doesn't look like it has the 'lateral claw'. That is a side support on the outer edge of the shoe. Some other manufacturers also put this side support on their design. If you footwork is a little bit wrong, it can be quite easy to twist the shoe. I feel the side support design is very, very helpful to prevent twisted ankles.
No matter what some words on the box say, no shoe can 100% prevent you from twisting your ankle. It sounds as though some shoe designs might be a bit better than other, as you and Cheung point out. But it is even more important to move about the court properly, to have good balance and strong legs/ankles. And the thing that drives me wild is seeing youngsters on the court playing with their shoes only half- tied.
Cheung, you did not answer how he would know if get notification if anyone reply to his thread. evoixmr, you may wish try kumpoo shoes. http://kumpoo.com/info.asp?cid=21#48_86 It is mentioned their shoes "Kumpoo's unique molding and patent sole design can prevent the feet spraining." We ourselves have tried with the kumpoo shoes and we feel it is good. Then always make sure the shoes we had chosen are not too big. Never compromise the size just because we like the colour or design. Size for different model may differs and so does the cutting We had seen many of our players getting the wrong sizes for their shoes. Most of them got it either half size or one size bigger which is wrong. Please also buy another pair of shoes as current pair may not be suitable for you.
It is well apparent that you also did not answer. Feel free to assist. I think we both agreed to answer the main question.
"Anti-twist System - The Yonex Anti-twist System around the heel adds rigidity that helps maintain the function and shape of the heel to prevent injury to the ankle." That is what i read from the internet Maybe someone could help me which yonex shoes that have that system in them? I believe that system exist coz i try it myself, i did fall with a wrong body position but suddenly the sc5ex was so rigid that it helps my ankle on position. I had an ankle with a loose tie on sc5ex tho. But as long as i tied it properly, the system is functional. Up till now i haven't tried any other shoes since i'm such a picky guy which need to know clearly what item or tech that i bought. Maybe someone could help me which yonex shoes that have that system in them? Thank you
Although I like Yonex as a brand, their shoes somehow don't give me a sense of security and stability. I'm not doubting that it doesn't work, but it's probably not suitable for my feet arches as I am flat-footed. Yonex's shoes support seems to be targeted at people with normal feet arches, not flat feet. For those whose feet arches are flat or almost flat, I find shoes with side support much better at preventing sprains. And also give a sense of security and stability. That's my experience though. You might feel otherwise.
