    I saw around 5-6 pairs of Mizunos at a National Sports shop near woodbine and 16th, not sure if there badminton or volleyball. Btw, I realized that each national sport shop has different kinds of shoes, so you might wanna check out a couple before buying.

    I saw Mizuno ladies' court shoes (model Blocker II) in SportChek at Woodbine Centre (Rexdale Boulevard). Not as cushioned as my aerobic shoes. In fact no court shoes give me enough cushioning. I tried Nike, Adidas, Reebok, Asics, Head, and Mizuno. None worked. I've been using Ryka aerobic shoes and they are super.

    I think SportChek should have Mizuno men's court shoes.

    The authorized seller 'Canuck Sports' in Scarboro does NOT have Mizuno badminton shoes, just volleyball types..

    I don't see any problem with using the the mizuno volleyball shoes...after all they are indoor court shoes. IMHO they're shoes are more durable and give you the best value compared to Yonex shoes.

    I myself own a pair of Spike 5 and Wave Epic shoes. Canuck Sports does provide the best price too.

    May i also suggest that Asics makes a pretty superior (v-ball) shoe too...but they're prices are a bit steeper and are comparable to yonex shoes.
