    I'm looking to buy a new pair of badminton shoes and am looking at mizuno wave smash (7km-70009), yonex STB100, and victor vt93. Anyone have any comments or recommendations on any of these shoes? I'm currently wearing mizuno wave spikes 9 (vball shoes) and they are really comfortable but nonetheless still vball shoes (and a little too big). I have fairly wide feet so I'm leaning towards the mizunos.

    Anyone know how they compare in performance, comfort, and durability?

    Thanks!

    Mizunos are good! in terms of durability, performance and comfort. Victor are generally lighter and comfort wise, it is also quite good. but Mizuno outsoles are more lasting than Victor. can't comment on Yonex as i have yet to try them out.

    1. Yonex - best design for badminton, comfort, grip, power cushion
    2. Victor - comfort, grip
    3. Mizuno - everything is quite ok, outsole too stiff

    Currently, i got 2 pairs: yonex SHB90 and mizuno wave gate 3 (7km-75027).
    After trying both shoes, my mizuno is better in terms of comfortability and padding.

    personally i find the victor shoes the grip wears out way way to fast, they are comfortable though. Mizuno i know 2 people who use them but i havnt asked them about it they seem to like it. Yonex they have good shoes grip and all comfort, but really well designed for badminton.

    ^ya, but i think the power cushions don't last as long, so i'm looking for spares for training, and use my 100MXs for playing games lol...from the looks of it, it seems victors seem better than mizunos...
