The Mizuno Wave Lightning Z5, successor to the Mizuno Wave Lightning Z4. Squash players have mixed feelings about the Lightning line. The concerns are around heel traction and durability.

Update: this shoe is being replaced by the Lightning Z6

    What do you think to these? I’ve just bought a pair of the mid tops because I’ve had a few ankle niggles. I’m worried about the amount of speed I might lose and whether these are too good to be true – are the mid tops lulling me into a false sense of security?!
