I can't wear Yonex Powercushion Pro due to ankle turning issue. but I did love the SHT 308 which is discontinued.

Is there another brand and model of shoe that is similar to SHT 308 ? Light and great cushioning ? NIKE, Babolat, another ?

Isn't the Powercushion Pro supposed to replace the SHT 308? Maybe they just didn't want a shoe named SHT...just saying.

For the last time there is nothing wrong with the power cushion pro. You are the only person who thinks it causes rolling of ankles. They do not. It is almost impossible to roll your ankle with these shoes. They have extra wide flanges on the outer side of the shoe so you can't roll your ankle unless you really step wrongly.

I understand you don't trust the shoes now. But it is not the shoes. Although I hope you find another pair your comfortable with.

Take it easy.. Not everyone's ankles are the same. There are many of us that dislike the power cushion compared to the 308. The 308 was just a superior shoe.

Look we all love Yonex shoes. But for someone to claim the shoe causes them to roll their ankle is just ridiculous.

I have worn every single model of Yonex shoes dating back to the first version of the 304's. They don't make bad shoes!!

Pick your feet up like everyone else has told you on your previous post. Also shoes are not slow. People are slow. Yes they weigh more than some previous models. But you just have deal with it.

Then WHY is it that I am just FINE with SHT 308 but I am turning ankle with power cushion pro ? WHY OH WHY ? I am picking up my feet Exactly the SAME way with both shoes model.

By turning your ankle, do you mean that you are rolling your ankle (possibly leading to tearing a ligament), or do you mean that you are pronating more? Rolling it is seriously bad. Pronating could probably be minimized with insoles.

Yonex Power Cushion Pro won Tennis Magazine's best all around shoe prize. They also picked Asics Gel Solution Speed II for 'match day' shoe. Unless the magazine is managed by the Japanese, it is a good sign of honesty that there are no Nike shoes selected.
