      I feel it doesn’t fit for squash specially it’s profile from the heel side … anybody tried this?

         True, the stabil series is drifting more and more away from being squash friendly.

   I’ve got the new Stabil X 2019 (Black and Orange color) after I threw away my Stabil Bounce 2018 model which lasted almost 4 months with torn mesh on both sides! I play 4 times a week and compete in ESF Masters.

   for the difference in weight, Surprisingly I haven’t felt much between the two models, but the big thing here is the concept of this shoe: First, the Boost Sole Padding allows you to drift safely inside the court, in other words, I couldn’t feel my feet cause of the spongy TPU pad.
   for sure it’s not like the Stabil 10, 11etc… models which I believe were much heavier with good balance.
   the second thing which was really interesting the breathable mesh wrapping tech protecting your front foot arch and it’s supported with good white bracing stripes on both sides!

   when you first try them, it’s a bit tight especially if you are wearing the Krakal X4 ankle socks! but it becomes better and better after a few days.

   I would highly recommend this model from any pro player looking for stability and protection, if you are looking for a pair to secure your knee, Ankle, Calf I believe this is your perfect deal.

      Agreed. I’ve worn my Stabil Xs 5 times now and I like them quite a lot. The comfort and stability are very good and are big pluses. Durability seems good. I can usually tell after 2 hits if a pair of shoes won’t last long because I drag my left foot quite extensively and can burn a hole in poor quality shoes very quickly. After 3 weeks my pair show next no sign of wear. The biggest drawback to these shoes is the weight. They are definitely heavier than my Race X and Mizuno Stealths and would guess they are the heaviest squash shoes I’ve ever owned. In a size 14 these have some heft to them! If I were playing tournaments I would have second thoughts about wearing them in competition and would probably invest in a lighter pair of shoes for that purpose. I would say these shoes are a normal fit size wise both lengthwise and width and would recommend them.

   Just bought a new pair of stabil X mid shoes , I’ve been using the eye s-line for a few months they have been far better than the salming kobra 2’s which broke within a few games !

   always had adidas stabil models but they seem to be getting harder to get hold of now without paying adidas website prices which are high and many pro’s are changing to salming and eye recently

   these green ones are very nice on the UK site below

      Did you get them already? I was very tempted to snag these as well .. was debating between these or the Kobra 1/2, but in your experience Kobra isn’t a very durable shoe?
      I wanted to give salming a try and got the Hawk shoes; 2 months old now, they’re very supportive and comfy and breathable and flexible …however I had some pretty decent slips lately and it’s made me not want to wear them. Not sure cause yet .. bad spot on the court, sweat.. shoe? Either way .. Stabil X looks sexy

         John, have a look also at the Adidas Counterblast Bounce models. I replaced my stabil x with this model and they are great after 6 months. The sole plate is stable, no slips, comfortable sock style ankle support. No knee or ankle problems due to the great cushioning (even though they don’t have the boost technology). Cheers!

   I’ve had 2 pairs of these shoes. First the original blue/white, then the newer blue/white/red model.

   Pros:

   Super, insanely comfy shoe due to the boost technology.

   The sock style ankle support is also really comfy.

   When new, the grip under the shoe is also plentiful.

   Cons:

   Heavy, they weigh a fair bit in comparison to other shoes, though this has never felt like an issue/disadvantage in game to me.

   Durability… The original blue and white shoe’s soles completely wore down to the point where they were smooth after a few months. BOTH shoes also had a huge crack right at the heel area of the boost sole.

   When I took them back as faulty, the store kindly replaced them with the newer pair, to which the sole has stood the test of time far better. They haven’t worn down half as much, however one shoe now has a deep crack in the exact same place on the heel.

   Overall, I’d say the high cost can be attributed to the incredible comfort of the shoe, however the recurring cracks in the heel are a bit of a bummer.

   Would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a comfy pair of squash shoes however.

      I completely agree with this. I’ve had a pair of the white/reddish orange 2018 model for about a month and a half (college player playing five to six days a week). It has been a great shoe, much like the old stabil’s, but mine have also developed cracks that run across the heel. They’re still playable, but I doubt they will last too much longer. If the intensity of your game is low and doesn’t require lots of hard movement, I bet you won’t have the same problem, but for high level players these shoes will only last a few months.

   I have the grey 2017 version since April this year. I must say, even though they are a bit heavy, they are the most comfortable squash shoes I’ve used so far (had asics gel rocket, salming race, viper 2,3,4). I especially like the sock like design, never had any ankle problems, Unfortunately the soleplate wound up very quickly, after 5 months. I would buy the new 2018 model, maybe the soleplate has improved.

   The new Adidas Stabil Bounce look very nice, not keen on the high sock on the X.

    Es gibt kein Adidas welchem fügt für squash auf diesem Moment.

    At the moment there is no Adidas which fits for squash.

    Op dit moment is er geen Adidas die passend is voor squash.

    And the same for Nike ….
