Adidas Squash Shoes

Adidas squash shoes are indoor court shoes from Adidas that are appropriate for squash. Adidas squash shoes have been quite popular among professionals as well as club players over the years, although they are not as popular as they used to be.

You’ll still see pro players using Adidas, but often they are using older models like the Adidas Stabil 11 that they’ve stocked up on.

Adidas actually do not make a squash-specific shoe. They make handball and volleyball shoes, which are appropriate for the squash court.

The most common Adidas shoes for squash (in my opinion) are the Stabil, Stabil Bounce, and Essence lines. The other Adidas shoes, such as the Crazyflight line, are also non-marking court shoes and can be used on the squash court, I just don’t see them as often.

2019 Adidas Squash Shoes

Adidas Stabil X

Looks like a slightly modified version of the Adidas Stabil X for 2019:

Adidas Stabil Bounce

The Adidas Stabil Bounce is less expensive than the Stabil X above:

Adidas Counterblast Bounce

Adidas released two new Adidas Counterblast Bounce models:

Adidas Crazyflight X 3

The Adidas Crazyflight X 3 are meant for volleyball but I’ve never seen any squash players using them. They’re non-marking though, so I’m including them here. They come in both men’s and women’s versions and in both low-cut and mid-top versions. They’re a high-end shoe.

Adidas Crazyflight Bounce 3

The Adidas Crazyflight Bounce 3 is the third version of this volleyball shoe. It comes in men’s and women’s versions. It’s less expensive than the Crazyflight X 3 above.

Adidas Essence

Some 2019 models in the Essence range.

Adidas Ligra 6

The Adidas Ligra 6 appear to be the least expensive volleyball shoes from Adidas.

Adidas Speedcourt

The Adidas Speedcourt is a bit of a mystery to me. I see new versions turn up once in a while, only in Europe. They’re inexpensive court shoes from Adidas.

2018 Adidas Squash Shoes

Adidas Stabil X

These are one of the top-end Adidas squash shoes. Usually that means these have the most cushioning, but are the most expensive.

The Adidas Stabil X is the latest edition of Adidas’s top-end shoe. The 2018 versions:

Adidas Stabil Bounce

The Adidas Stabil Bounce came out in 2018. I tested these and they were quite comfortable, though not especially durable. You can watch my video review at that link.

Adidas Essence

The Adidas Essence is the least expensive shoe in the Adidas range. Least cushioning, but also the lightest shoe in the range.

2018 models:

Adidas Ligra 6

These are a low-cost court shoe from Adidas that I haven’t heard a whole lot about.

The Adidas Ligra 6 came out in 2018:

Adidas Counterblast

Adidas Counterblast 2018 models:

Adidas Counterblast Bounce

The Adidas Counterblast Bounce came out in 2018. Originally they were only mid-top shoes. They don’t look very squashy to me. The 2019 models (above) look better.

Adidas Crazyflight X 2.0

This is a high-end court shoe from Adidas.

The 2018 models are called Adidas Crazyflight X 2.0:

Adidas Crazyflight Bounce 2.0

Spotted in 2017, a new version called simply Adidas Court Stabil:

The Adidas Crazyflight Bounce was new for 2017. A little less expensive than the Crazyflight X.

    Hi. I’ve been seen the Adidas Essence, but the sole on the heel is very wide … they look like Frankenstein’s boots … has anyone tried them on squash? Regards

    Hi, Would you consider Adidas Indoor Super an option for Squash. They were Originally squash shoes in the 80s but more of a fashion shoe now. Do you think they are a bit out-dated? However considering Hi Tec Classics are still widely used today I thought these might still be good? And very cool, IMO. Cheers, Paddy

      They seem to be non-marking so I think you could wear them on a squash court, but they don’t appear to have any reinforcement around the toe box, so they may start to deteriorate relatively quickly from toe drag. They also don’t seem to be very cushioned. They do look cool though, I must say.

      Adidas Stabil X : Mid-Cut, for Wide feet, Full upper Mesh, extra cushioning, side bracing stripes holding the shoe and i think this is the best model in market right now.

      Adidas Stabil Bounce : short-cut, almost same specs as the Stabil X model, but back side is slightly different with no bracing stripes in the mid. i believe this is a light version of Stabil X

      Adidas Counterblast : Mid-Cut, for slim feet, not breatable like the stabil x model, Ultra light (made for quick feet), less cushioning than the Stabil x with less padding. looks semi arch shoe from the pictures.

    no issues with blisters or slipping

        Pretty decent pair of shoes. Coming from the Adidas Stabil 10.1 this certainly not in the same class. But if you need an affordable pair I think you won’t go wrong with this.
