   Superb shoes. True to normal Asics sizing. Lots of cushioning and I suspect it might be easier for my lower back when doing lunges. Had less lower back pain after I started using these. There is a good amount of heel to toe drop, so you feel little bit like you are ready on your toes. Doesn’t feel as speedy as let’s say Blade or Fastball’s, and not as much in touch with the floor, but honestly I don’t think it matters much

      I have been on US9.5 for all Asics shoes – and these are no exception.

         Okay so I should stick with a 9.5 us? Do you still have a little room or is it just right?

   I have used these shoes twice on court and have grown to love them. They really cost quite a lot – here in Asia especially – but I think it’s money well spent. There is lots of cushioning particularly at the sole – the shoe wears pretty soft but it feels sturdy. The top part of the shoe is breathable and soft, and while it feels good, I am unsure how durable they will be.
   Overall, this is one of the most comfortable shoes I’ve worn since the Gel Progressive 2 and Gel Blast 4 – top two on my list.

      Hey Alex, those are exactly my thoughts!
      They are a little bit of a heavier side if we compare them with GelBlast FF.
      Around 30-40 grams more (10%). And that’s probably the only minus for me.

      They are super soft, I have fewer feet sore after intense games.
      They are super breathable, which is a big plus for some heavy sweating guys like me. In terms of durability, I am probably around 3 months with them — so far so good.

      They probably won’t work for guys who like to enjoy the feeling of Salming Viper or similar low cushion shoes, but being just 10% heavier — damn, how comfortable they are.

      P.S. Top Japanese Volleyball players use them, and I doubt they know their thing.

         Hey Dima, Good to know they are lasting you for over 3 months now. Let’s see how they do for me – I am in court 5-6 days a week so might be a little more court time there. The other pair you should check out (and even more expensive here in Asia!) are these Netburner Professional FF. They are netball shoes, but work great on the squash court – somewhat similar feel.

            Hi Alex, how are they holding up? My shoes are on their last legs and I’m having a tough time choosing between these and the Blast FF…the blast certainly look more durable but the sky’s look sweet!

               They’re holding up very well – but to be fair, the last two months, I haven’t played as much as I usually do. Yeah I can’t agree more – they look amazing and so softtttttt.
