What badminton shoes do YOU wear?

**White_trash** · 07-17-2005, 01:49 AM

Btw, guys, I tried on Puma's 5One II (handball, don't know which season, but an "old" model)... veerry nice shoe. Very good support at the outter edge, nice ankle support, nice design (blue ones similar to addidas ), comes in different colors (e.g. yellow, black, red, blue, silver). I know puma mostly specializes in football, perhaps, running shoes, but this is a nice one, really. Probably I would have taken it, if my size hadn't been out already. Did order them to check their stock, though.

Other opinions about this shoe welcome (durability, etc).

I just checked Asics' website and I'm not really amazed with their designs for their shoes, but I like this one the "best": http://www.asicsamerica.com/product....Y_ID=250001331

What do you guys think? Good badminton shoes?

it's a running shoe, no?

Doesn't seem good.

P.S. Look at European sites - "we" have better asics.

I use a pair of victors, which i'm pretty sure are true baddy shoes, but i don't know the model

yonex shb 98-mx- use these because these give me the best grip and cushioning,but the best thing about the shoe is its lightness, it allows me to move faster,it is lighter compared to the 89mg anyway and most other court shoes i've tried. one thing is the price but they last long so worth it for me.

Currently i'm using Shb99Lo and Shb98

Now using Wave Gate II 7KM-54014

**bignasty** · 07-31-2005, 11:05 PM

I use Mizuno Smash (badminton Shoe) and Elite (volleyball shoe), Victor with some air sole in it. Adidas Uproar (but my toes hurt in them). Nike Multicourt V.
I like the Mizuno designs and their very comfortable. I find the Victor shoe trying too hard to be a Yonex Shoe while the lining inside is too thin. The Nike Multi Court V shoes are surprisingly comfortable. I haven't tried Yonex shoes since my friends tell me they wear out quickly.

I wore a pair of Kason GS-50, now i'm wearing a pair of Nike badminton shoes.

Thanks!

I got them in the US last year.

They cost around US$85.

i use mizuno wave smash, its light weight, comfortable, its like wearing socks and the support is great

**rafiano** · 08-05-2005, 02:33 PM

Mine is a mizuno with wave technology....and i have never regretted buying it. after i bought it, two of my other colleagues bought the same model as it has good looks and justly priced. i just feel yonex is overpriced for the same quality. just my 2 cents worth...
