    Happy New Year all! :D

    Has anyone tried the Hi-Tec Vortex 44? Any comments? Also, where can I buy this shoe online or locally in SoCal? Thanks.

    Probably, that's why I'm looking at this shoe, to see if it can offer more cushioning. :)

    If all you are looking for is cushioning, then have you tried Sorbathane insoles? I have a couple of bad knees and have been using them for many years for running and now for badminton. I currently use SHB99M with the SorboAir insoles and that combo works for me. I recently got Superfeet green but haven't tried them yet to see exactly how much difference there is. If you must use Superfeet for their support, I guess you need the shoe to offer more cushioning.

    Seems so..eermm "bulky".. I'll think I wait until Kenneth provides some input to Hi-Tec so they start making "real" baddy shoes.. thinks this is some sort of squash thingy, right??

    No, I'm not looking for an insole because whatever shoe I get, I will add the Super Feet Green insole to it. I want the cushioning built in the shoe.
