    I think the Vipers look wonderful. I've been planning to get a pair for the longest time but I do not know anyone who owns a pair as I am quite concerned about its durability after reading this review in another site.

    Thats true. Durability is a problem - part of the sole of my first pair started to peel off after 9 months. However they are the best badminton shoes i have owned so i bought 2 more pairs. They are very cheap too - £20.00 (about US$35)

    I am using Mizuno Waveligtening which is not exactly badminton shoes but valleyball shoes. So far I like it and I have been using it for at least 6 moth and they seem pretty durable. It is definitely much better than my jogging shoes ;)

    It looks like more the handball adidas stabil (stabil 6 or so this year), than the court stabil more badminton/squash oriented, I always thought the handball one would feel a bit too heavy.
    btw using court stabil II.

    hi guys!! my first post!.

    i just bought a pair of Yonex SHB-99L instead of 99M, although i am a man. ;)
    just want to know what you guys think about it and what difference there is actually between shoes for men and women. do any of you do the same thing??
