    It arrived last night :-D It looks really cool! I will write a review about it once I get to wear it around for the whole week :-D

    These shoes were bought in HK. I really also wanted to get Wave Smash but they werent available all over. Taneepak recommended a shop where the smash might be available but it was too far from the house of my brother where my rents were staying. I also had a friend of mine check on the Mizuno shops in Manila but the smash wasnt available too :-( Dang.. Anyway, this is it:

    Tried the shoe last night and I love it!!!!! :-D

    Cons:
    Long shoe lace :-(

    Aside from that everything is perfect, its light, not thick at all even if its an indoor/volley shoe. I think its absolutely great!

    I totally have to disagree with people who say that mizuno volleyshoes cant be used for badminto!

    i have a friend who found hers in the way as well; plus the fact that it 'disfigures' the cute look :rolleyes: . she used to tie her shoelaces around the ankle first before doing the knot. but that made her look ridiculous. so now she just stuffs the remainder into the shoes! :D

    A matter of fit...

    Ugh! The Mizuno Lightning may not be right type for me. I am getting micro blisters on the second and middle toes of my non-racquet foot. Should I get a bigger version so that my toes won't be squished or a smaller one so that my toes won't moved as much (ie. less toe friction)?

    I will be facing a similar problem with my Yonex shb89. Someone informed me that the bigger size is good for walking, but a smaller size is good for badminton. The smaller size barely fit my feet. I hope I am not making a mistake with my first pair of badminton shoes.

    If they are the same as my pairs they will stretch after a few weeks, I have bought them tight and wear a thin running ankle type sock, after a couple of weeks they seem to move about a bit and I have to switch to a thick cotton one.

    You should be fine unless you buy them and they are way too tight.

    False alarm, everybody!!!

    Heh! Guess what... the problem I had with the Lightning had nothing to do with the shoes at all:eek:. Seems that some of the athletic ankle socks I wore were a size too small, thus squishing my toes as I push off my non-racquet foot. Found that out after mistakenly kept my regular socks on for my games. Toes were just fine afterwards:D.
