Hi Mr.
I can't decide which ones will be my new badminton shoes. I'm looking for some breathable well-cushioned and stable shoes. I love the SHB 02M fit, my last shoes, but those weren't breathable enough. The new power cushion 03Z seems that has the same fit with more breathable mesh and ventilated sole. What do you think about these shoes.
I really like the last babolat shadow tour 4 too, I like the design and I have seen that they has a lot of mesh and ventilated sole too.
Which of these would you preffer? Is the babolat more cushioned than first version? Will my 'under ankle' socks eaten by the booty feature of the yonex?
Finally do you know if the sizing of these shoes are similar?
Thanks if you can help me and thanks if not for trying![]()
Update on the Pinnacle Maxx :Been wearing my Pinnacle Maxx for a day (thanks to Amazon Prime for fast 1 day delivery!)... much more cushiony than Spenco Total Support Max that I've been wearing. A tad bit less arch support. Still... nice and bouncy and great for walking on concrete floors. Will play with it tmrw and report back on how it performs on court.
I got the Maxx instead of the regular because I have pretty bad flat feet and overpronation with nasty bunions, so I need as much arch support as possible.
Update on the Pinnacle Maxx :
After a few hours walking and playing on them, I can say they have more arch support and cushioning than Spenco Total Support Max. Time will tell how long the cushioning will last. For sufferers of flat feet and fallen arches, they are probably the best orthotic insole this side of custom made ones (which cost 10x as much!)
Having said that though, the best cushioning I've found is still the Spenco Cross Trainer. It has minimal arch support but it is much more noticeably cushiony than even the Pinnacle Maxx, and at half the price! @DinkAlot you should give those a try.![]()
Yes, the heel does sit perhaps 3-4 mm higher. But not enough for the heel to slip off the back of the shoe. Haven't had any danger of ankle twisting with lateral movements. I just got used to being an eighth of an inch taller.I have some concerns regarding the pinnacle maxx, specifically with how high it makes my feet rest in the shoe.
Even when I removed the regular Yonex insoles they sit slightly higher, has this caused you any issues with your experience with the pinnacle max?
I have flat feet and am considering ordering the regular powerstep pinnacles (blue) simply because it looks like they sit a bit lower, closer to the thickness of a regular yonex insole but with arch support.
What are your thoughts?

Yes, the blues are very close to oem insoles thickness and are 1-2mm lower than Maxx. But blues don't have as much arch support if that is an important factor to you.Thanks for your response![]()
Do you have any experience with the Pinnacle blues and whether those rest a bit lower in the shoe?
