Need some new squash shoes

cid_2

Can anyone recommend some decent squash shoes, that have good, cushioned support for a dodgy back?

The ones I wear currently are evidently too flat or hard on the sole because fairly frequently I'll leap for a shot and feel a jarring up my spine which I know is likely to leave me in not inconsiderable pain when the game's finished.

I was thinking something along the lines of the Nike Air trainers that have the cushioned air support, but I can't seem to find any men's ones with non-marking soles for squash. I don't care about the brand and will pay whatever if they're going to be good for the old lumbar.

Grateful as ever for your help in advance. Thanks!

No squash players out there at all...?

Not a squash player but have you tried Sports Direct?

Ive got some HiTec S700 4SYS shoes, very good shoes with good cushioning and support. Not that cheap though but worth it I think if you play quite a bit.

Having trouble finding anywhere in Bristol that does a good selection of shoes for squash. Ordinary trainers are no good. You need squash or court shoes. I would NOT recommend the hitec "basic" ones, between £17 and £28. They have been ok to see if I wanted to get back into the game again and have used them for 7 months. But I am feeling the drawer backs with foot pain. I found this site useful for information in what to look for.
I apologise if I am not supposed to post links. I have no connection with this site atall, it is just useful.

Hope this helps you. I am still looking.
