Asics Gel Blast 3

Asics squash shoes use such technologies as the Impact Guidance System (IGS), the core gel cushioning system and Biomorphic which aim at increasing both comfort and performance for the squash player.

IGS is designed to allow the squash player’s foot to feel natural upon impact.

The gel system is optimized for shock absorption with the use of a special kind of silicone. The gel units are placed in strategic impact points across the base of the shoe in order to enable the player to feel natural in the positions they adopt throughout the duration of a typical game.

Their high-end indoor shoe is named Gel Blast 3 and incorporates resistant synthetic leather built into the upper of the shoe to help prevent too much wear from the player dragging their feet; Asics refer to this technology as ‘Rhynoskin’.

Hi-Tec Men’s Squash Classic Trainers

These squash court shoes are an absolute classic. They have been around for years and years and are loved by many people. In fact, According to Hi-Tec they have been around since 1974 and were the first-ever squash shoes! I guess they meant he first ever squash shoe that they made given that squash has been played in some form or another since 1960!! Anyway, that said, I don’t think that the design has changed at since 1974.

They come in only one colour white, but as you can see in the pic they have a bit of green on them too.

They’re made of a leather upper with a non-marking rubber base and are lace-up shoes, that generally have a medium width. People often say that you should buy half a size up as they tend to be a little on the small size.

They’re breathable and comfortable with decent padding to the heel and ankles and incorporate a multi-directional grip.

Personally, I’d put these squash shoes down as beginner’s shoes as I don’t think they have enough support for the more advanced player. Better players might be better looking at the range of shoes from Asics.

You are however getting a classic design and a very hard-wearing shoe which is great value for money and that cannot be knocked!

You can purchase these classic squash shoes directly from Amazon…
