    Does anyone has any experience with Karakal XS 300 shoes..These are last year's model and were designated as Squash and Badminton Shoe.

    It certainly has a nice color scheme.I have to get a new pair soon and contemplating this or Asics Gel Blast 2 or Gel Tactic.

    Any feedback or input??

    hi nightbird
    i must have used to about 3+ months, but useage was almost everyday for 2-3 hours. I was not happy with how the grip gave way, but for the cushioning, support etc. - no complaints whatsoever.
    tell me .. the Asics shoes, what is the model number and how much does it cost ? thanks.

    I play 3 times a week for a total of abt 6 hours, so I guess they should last a year perhaps..i already ordered a pair of the Karakals..Will post a review once I get my feet in them.

    As far as Asics goes, there are quite a few that BC'ers hv used for Badminton.Tactic, Gel domain and Gel Blasts..They retail from $120-$160 here.

    BTW, did u find the Karakals a bit narrow in the front? Did u put any insoles?
