   Take care ! Adidas stabil boost (I) is very good for handball, but Adidas stabil boost II (next generation) is horrible!! Very soft front part, unstabil middle (instept) , do not recommened.

   Alright gents, some of you may recall my feedback on Stabil Boost. It wasn’t great. So I went on and found a site stocking my old trusty Stabil 11. So I thought let’s buy one. A couple of days later the guy from the shop rang me up and said they only had Stabil4ever and would give it to me for the same price. So I said fine, let’s try it. Bottom line —– Rubbish.

   Same issues as the Stabil Boost
   – tongue sewed in…too tight fit.
   – front was too soft. Not reliable for squash

   So I decided to return it. I will have to look for something else.

   I was having the same debate as you Dave and your friends in the shop. I did wear the stabil 11’s last year witch were a little more planted than the new Stabil Boost which are the better version of these. Now the biggest obvious difference is the Boost material. I personally like a shoe with a softer heel strike which the Stabil Boost does the best out of any shoe right now. Not only that but the boost material naturally rebounds your foot coming back which is amazing. Yes i was a little worried about them sitting higher to the floor but they lock in your feet better than any Stabil model I’ve ever owned, and i was just fine with quick lateral movements. Ok that was longer than I thought it would be haha but hey just though I’d chime in on the top model.

   Cheers

      Thanks Kyle, your pair is the Adidas Stabil Boost not the Adidas Stabil 4 Ever, correct? I would like to add your feedback to the post and just want to make sure I get the right one.

         Thats right Pierre. I didn’t know you had the boost up. I just wanted to point out the difference of the two qualities before writing off all models in this new design ! Cheers !

   I bought these online, thinking also that they were the new version of the Adipower stabil, but once on court immediately realised they were unsuitable for fast/high level squash. They are too soft at the front end, the cushioning ‘giving’ too much so preventing decent push off / propulsion for lunging etc.

   While Adidas shoes are not specifically for squash, these are just unsuitable in my (and several squash friends’) opinion.

      Thanks for the feedback Dave. That’s a bummer. While I haven’t tried it myself, I am hearing that that similar-looking Adidas Stabil Boost is more appropriate for squash.

         It sounds like it Pierre. I tried to get the Boost initially, but there was no stock. Ramy and co are sticking with the Adipower Stabil 10’s, and I will too…or switch to Salming.
