I think the Vipers look wonderful. I've been planning to get a pair for the longest time but I do not know anyone who owns a pair as I am quite concerned about its durability after reading this review in another site.

Thats true. Durability is a problem - part of the sole of my first pair started to peel off after 9 months. However they are the best badminton shoes i have owned so i bought 2 more pairs. They are very cheap too - £20.00 (about US$35)

I am using Mizuno Waveligtening which is not exactly badminton shoes but valleyball shoes. So far I like it and I have been using it for at least 6 moth and they seem pretty durable. It is definitely much better than my jogging shoes

Though i liked the previous stabils better - they were a true classic.

It looks like more the handball adidas stabil (stabil 6 or so this year), than the court stabil more badminton/squash oriented, I always thought the handball one would feel a bit too heavy.
btw using court stabil II.

**ViningWolff** · 09-01-2005, 02:02 PM

Reebok has come out with a new variation of a older court shoe model that I'm liekly to switch too as my current Yonex shoes are beyond had.

**mel_baddie** · 10-04-2005, 08:40 AM

hi guys!! my first post!.

i just bought a pair of Yonex SHB-99L instead of 99M, although i am a man.

just want to know what you guys think about it and what difference there is actually between shoes for men and women. do any of you do the same thing??

**extremenanopowe** · 10-04-2005, 09:28 AM

Fly Power. Not my brand but I will recommend to all players.

This is the shoe that I will stick with. Psst... Pssst...BTW, 20 years experience played competitive badminton. I only have a few extra with various sizes. First come first serve.

Currently wearing Mizuno Wave Spike 7 (2003 model)

In transition to moving to a new pair of shoes:
Mizuno Wave Epic 2003

Both are indoor court volleyball shoes..
