    Am using a simple proace shoe with power cushion. Cheap and very comfy. Only about 70sgd at newlink sports, qsc. ;) No need to waste too much money on good shoes. ;)

    i would like to get advise from you guys on badminton shoes, i just had bunion surgeries done on both feet this year so i have to be very picky on the shoes, i am having problem finding shoes with "wide toes"

    i don't think Yonex even offer different width on their shoes, and i tried looking for some volleyball shoes and had no luck

    anyone can point me to the right direction in looking?

    SHB200 definitely has a big toe box, the wide version is HUGE.

    I have the SHB200EX and its definitely a touch wider compare to all the other yonex models. Think its because it does not have the lateral claws. Tried the 101 and I can feel the claw, end up getting 200. They take a while to break in tho

    Asics Gel Forza 2

    My current pair ..... justy got them last week. :D

    AGF2.jpg


    Just a quick review:

    PROS

    1) Excellent cushioning !
    2) Good heel support
    3) Adequate 'ventilation' to dissipate heat
    4) Sole provides good traction (tried on hardwood floors)
    5) Moderately light-weight, not too heavy
    6) Quite flexible, not as stiff as it looks
    7) Looks good


    CONS

    1) Not suitable for wide feet
    - After my first session with them, my last toe hurt due to its 'slim' design.
    But i believe the situation will improve after a few more sessions to 'season' the shoe.
    2) A few may be uncomfortable with the 'high' cushion heel, but it didn't really affect me much.
    3) Limited colour options
    4) Quite pricey (approx SGD$150)

    Hi there ....... perhaps you can try Mizuno Wave Smash Wide :D

    Its a new badminton shoe by Mizuno thats designed for wide feet.

    Yonex SHB 101 MX - Genuine but worst experience I have ever had

    I bought a pair Yonex SHB 101 MX recently from CentralSports. Played once with them. Then my right foot was hurting the next day (my left foot was fine). With a close look at the shoes, they are actually asymmetric between the left shoe and the right shoe - the inner wall of the right shoe is about 8-10% shorter than that of the left shoe. Returned to CentralSports and CentralSports returned to Yonex UK. But
    Yonex think the shoes are up to their standards (seen the letter they wrote to CentralSports) - Shocked by Yonex's standards.

    Currently 101-LTD (RED) and will most likely go Victor for my next pair...
