    Could anyone reccomend me a shoe?

    I stay on the balls of my feet A LOT and do a lot of jumping.

    I am wearing a pair of puma's that I like becuase I can "feel" the ground becuase of their thin sole and flexibility

    However, after I play for a couple of hours and go home, the balls of my feet hurt...

    Yonex shoes don't last very long which is very unfortunate.

    Try and find a pair of Mizunos - more expensive but last longer. Very popular in HK and also common in S'pore

    i ll second tht.. yonex shoes don last long... guess thts their strategy...
    1 QQ -- u remain on balls o feet okk... but then don u think tht reduces the acceleration when taking a shot... coz i believe our toea r wht give us the grip while accelarating.... n balls o foot do tht while decelarating... lite pls??

    i would say anything asics... i've used them for both badminton and volleyball and have been nothing but satisfied.. sure my feet got sore after hours of playing but not to the same degree as any other shoes i've played in.

    Have looked at lots of footwear lately and i would say with what ive seen the Asics do look like a good option...However the new Yonex range is also a good choice..really depends on what you want from the shoe..
    By your spec i would say Yonex would be the shoe for you..

    there are lots of running shoes here that you can pick from. i think these type of shoes may do the job... however i still say asics would be your best bet.

    Hi,

    Any one tried APACS shoes?
    Any comments?

    What about shoes for juniors? say size 3 - 5
    what would be a good recommendation and any advise will be welcome.
    It is difficult to find shoes for juniors and at the budget that the kids can afford

    thanks
