Eye Rackets S.Line Squash Shoe

Product Information

Inner cage helps reinforce the shoes. This is both necessary and welcome, given their relatively thin fabric upper. The downsides of these are firstly that the extra cushioning means they are a little bit heavier and higher off the ground than the Asics Gel Fastball. If you want the speediest shoe, get the Fastball. If you want a little more cushioning, try the Renma. Another issue that’s on my radar is the toe of these shoes is not very breathable, which might result in some stinky shoes. I’m going to be keeping an eye on that over the course of the next few months to see how it pans out.

One downside of these shoes is they’re a bit narrow. Asics shoes in general are on the narrow side, but these feel even a little bit narrower than most. The upper and inner are synthetic materials designed for toughness and also to be as light as possible, while the gum sole is the usual combination of outer and mid-sole for grip and agility. It’s a non-marking design, which we would expect with any specific court shoe. As with most on our list this shoe is designed for wearers with normal width feet; if you have narrow or wide feet, it’s recommended you talk to an expert for advice.Whether you have had an ankle injury in the past or not, you will need a shoe that can give your ankles the support they need while allowing the movement you need to play. Cushion. The shoes promise excellent stability with their anti-torsion system ( Carbon Power), accentuated by Digitknittechnology If you find that like me you drag your toes, you may find a fairly short shelf life for these shoes. Given their relatively high price, switching to the S-Line shoes may prove costly over time. For people who do drag their toes, I would happily recommend Asics shoes such as the Gel-Tactic 2, which have a very durable front-foot.

If you’re after squash shoes that are used by some of the top athletes, then trying this model by Wilson is highly recommended. The Rush Pro 2.5 comes in a variety of versions, including a platform one that was made for playing on wooden surfaces that require a special sort of traction (the exact kind you need for volleyball and indoor court sports). It’s a fairly simple model in terms of design, with three color options, but what sets it apart from the others listed are the technical features. Keep in mind that there is more to supporting your joints than the outer part of the shoe. Look for good supportive cushioning so that all of your joints are protected from the impact of running and moving on the court. What should I look for in a shoe that has a good grip on the floor? The most important thing about squash shoes is they must be non-marking. Meaning, they will not leave marks on the squash court. The ‘EXoSkeleton’ inner cage connects to the lacing system, offering excellent support and helping the shoe keep its shape Squash can be a sport that is hard on the joints. Squash shoes are designed with this in mind. Since you are constantly moving and turning, shoes that support your joints are important.The Eye S-Line models come in a variety of bold color options and are very popular on the pro circuit. For some players, you may not be able to find a shoe that is perfectly comfortable. If you find a shoe that meets your other needs and is within your budget, you can make minor adjustments to the shoe by looking for after-market insoles or adjusting how you lace the shoe. How do I care for my squash shoes?

The Hawk squash shoes are a relatively simple model with a colorful, eye-catching design. It features a low profile that helps you remain connected to the ground, increasing stability and grip, with a hexagonal traction pattern on the non-marking rubber outsole. On the outside portion of the sole, at the heel and metatarsal area, there are two LMSplus 8° areas which increase lateral stability, and prevent skidding when moving in a lateral pattern. Next the Adidas Crazyflight. That’s right it’s not Asics, these are Adidas. Uh these are the shoes that Paul Coll wears, he’s a top five uh former world number one player. So we know that these perform on court. I got a separate review of these and all these other shoes in this video. Um these are 390 grams so they’re getting up there on the scale so that’s nice cushioning good grip on court on these. The cosmetics, I think look super cool. I love the Adidas look and how these shoes in particular look. My biggest gripe with these was I just had some fit issues. The heel cup was like kinda small on my my just foot felt sort of funny in there. For me personally, I didn’t like the fit of these but Uh but I know they work for Paul Coll and they look pretty cool so you might wanna try out some Adidas. Oh the other problem I have with these is the lacing’s a little bit weird. They’re like it’s like very spread out Um I don’t know why. Made it hard to keep them laced up and feeling tight on me. But I’ve used these. I’ve been playing padel in these or “padel” as we say here in Philly and I just like them. They’re comfortable. They’re cushioned. They feel good on my feet and on my knees. Just on the squash court they just weren’t quite as maneuverable…as I like. Um I usually like to get something a little lighter and a little faster which is although granted a little harder on my body. But hey uh so but this is these are a cool Adidas option. If you like Adidas you want to try the Paul Coll model Adidas Crazyflight. The shape of the shoe, arching slightly upwards towards the front, helped us to stay on our toes and avoid feeling ‘flat footed’ But to answer the question, a good pair will last me 6-12 months playing a few times a week. How do I convert international shoe sizes to my normal size?Squash shoe soles are usually made from a form of gum that is sculpted to give you maximum grip and stability, and the science that has gone into designing these soles is quite advanced. The sole should also help with weight distribution, and aid your agility. Now, let’s pretend you are in the shoe business, and not only that, but this perfect shoe happens to be in YOUR product lineup. Another of the leading brands in sportswear and gear is Puma, which has been in the market for a long tie now. Known for quality products designed to last – and at decent prices – it is a brand that tries to cover all the bases, and these multisport shoes are a good example of their products. Indeed, there’s no doubt that the Salming Kobra 2 is the best pair of shoes on this list, offering professional level technology – but at a professional level price! But, does that make them the best value? I tested these out and I’m gonna be honest, these shoes hurt my feet after a while. The soles are not cushioned enough for my 40-plus-year-old feet.

Add to this Asics’ signature Gel sole for underfoot cushioning, and you’ve got what we think is a near perfect all-round squash shoe. Weight depends a lot on the player. While a heavier shoe means you may have increased ankle and joint support, a lighter show will help you be more agile on the court. Before shopping for shoes, be sure to assess where on that spectrum you would like to be so that you have the support you need and still be able to maneuver on the court. Breathability. They’re a mid-weight shoe, therefore they’re not the lightest, though far from the heaviest shoe out there When we’re talking about a sport where stability and firmness are a must, the outsole is something you want to be able to rely on. A shoe that doesn’t count with a firmly gripping outsole simply won’t work for squash, as the strength and spontaneousness required for each motion are likely to take you off balance otherwise.• Etiquette: Squash is a sport that is played in a very specific court. This means that the shoe’s outsole is no longer related to only your performance, but also the court. The space of the court is pretty limited, so the state of the court means everything during a match. Thus, etiquette covers what you should and shouldn’t wear inside the box. For the sake of the court, it’s expected that all players use a non-marking rubber outsole when playing. The best practice also involves not bringing dirty shoes in the court or cleaning them before entering. Because of this, it’s recommended that you use your squash shoes for this purpose only, as using them outside the box will get dirt on them that you may potentially leave in the court.Something as simple as stepping on some grease can “contaminate” your shoe – this not only will make you slip in the court, but it may also make other people slip who use the court after you, as the grease may adhere to the court. Keep in mind that we are referring to this as etiquette and the best practice to follow, but in multiple gyms, these are very strict rules.

Durability

One of the most recognisable brands in sports gear is adidas, and we could not have a list of squash shoes without including one of their products. In fact, this pair of very good quality shoes are initially designed for playing volleyball, yet the inclusion of non-marking soles means they are also suitable for squash, as does the impressive sole design that offers excellent grip and agility, and cushioning that is beyond the norm in a pair of shoes of this price range. If you drag your toe or the side of your foot when you play, the upper part of the shoe might start showing signs of wear. Watch for holes in the toe or near the ball of your foot.
