MMM, I like these Hi-Tec Viper Court shoes. I’ve never seen them before so I think they’re new, but they have a nice old-school classic style.

Hi-Tec Squash Shoes
Hi-Tec squash shoes have been one of my favorite brands over my many years of playing squash. I’ve always found they hold up well during the wear-and-tear of a squash season. Like all squash shoes, they will tend to wear out in the places where you drag your feet, but I’ve found Hi-Tecs to be more durable than most other brands I’ve played with.
Hi-Tec has been around the squash scene for over 30 years. They focused in the early days on creating a squash-specific shoe, and this has translated into a strong position among squash players even to this day.
Hi Tec squash shoes are used on the pro squash tour by world #1s Nick Matthew, Amr Shabana, David Palmer, and more.

They’ve also been some of the most comfortable shoes I’ve ever owned. They feel light as you’re moving around the court, while still having good shock absorption. And they’re usually good-looking shoes as well. For these reasons and more, I used them for many years.
I guess it is old-school Hi-Tecs day here on Squash Source. These are the Hi Tec M106. This is the men’s version, which I see right now in the US and UK:

There’s also a women’s version, no less classic. Only found in the UK though.

Here’s the Hi-Tec M302 indoor court shoe. Looks like it comes in two color schemes.
I’ve seen the white/black/red guy above in the US / Canada:
Buy (US / Canada): controlthet.com
And here’s a white/green style, available in the UK:
Buy (UK): amazon.co.uk
The white/green ones look pretty similar to the white/green version of the Hi-Tec S702 shoes.

These Hi Tec S702 shoes are part of the Hi-Tec 4SYS range. It looks like Hi-Tec might be phasing out this particular line soon, so stock up while they’re still available!

They also come in this variety, white with green highlights:

This is the Hi-Tec Infinity Flare shoe, as sometimes worn by Nick Matthew.

Buy (Germany): amazon.de
Buy (France): amazon.fr
Or try: ebay.com
Here’s a video of Nick Matthew talking about the shoes. Check out the interesting pattern of the laces.
And here’s another video with Nick Matthew, this one looking more like a TV commercial.
The roar at the end of that video is a bit weird, but overall still pretty cool. I like that this shoe has its own trailer.
It’s also available in this charcoal gray color:

This model was from a few years ago. Looks like there are still a few pairs available but they probably won’t last long.
Buy (US / Canada): racquetsource.com
Buy (UK): amazon.co.uk
And here’s another color scheme, white/navy/silver. This is the one Nick Matthew wears:

And here’s one more with a red styling. Nick used to wear these as well.
There are still a couple pairs available in Germany: dlsports.de

These are the Hi-Tec S700 squash shoes, from the Hi-Tec 4SYS line.
I had these shoes a few years ago and was a bit disappointed with the fit. While they were as durable as ever, I did not find them to be as comfortable as previous versions of their shoes. It took several weeks before I really felt like the shoes were broken in and comfortable.
This is why it’s important to take the time to try on squash shoes before you buy them. Even if you have bought a particular brand before, they might change their “formula” and the shoes might not work as well for you. Make sure wherever you buy your squash shoes, they have a good return policy!
Also comes in red, which seems to be the preferred shoe color for Amr Shabana and others:
