    Hey guys,
    want to get a new shoe because my old shoe's rubber sole is wearing out soon...
    Need some help from you guys to reccomend me some shoes..
    Basically, i do not like wearing shoes when playing badminton,
    they would always slow me down as i regard them as "extra weight"..
    Whenever i wear my badminton shoe,
    i notice it slows my game down alot..
    I will not be able to get the preferable angle that i want for a smash or a sharp drop.
    However i do notice that shoes are required when i do 'backwards footwork"
    such as returning to the center base after a netshot.
    I have been wearing a pair of yonex maxima 100 LTM,
    i think that they are very heavy and very thick at the base.
    It makes me feel that i am wearing some kind of japanese slipper.
    This troubles my game as well as i find it difficult to balance myself during a high speed rally where i am pushed to all 4 corners.
    Thus,i am wondering whether there are any model of shoes that are preferably thin on the soles and are lightweight that eases mobility.
    Thanks GUYS!!:)
