What else fits like a Yonex Power Cushion 308?

The Yonex Power cushion 308 fits like a glove for me. What shoes in other brands would fit the same, have some room in the toe box, and good cushioning?
I have had good fit with Nike Vapor 9.5 tour but it doesn't have good cushioning and is not very durable. Asic GR's are comfortable but the colors are a bit too loud and dark for summer.
I have tried Adidas Barricade Vs but my heel slips out of the shoe even though it's the correct size. The reviews for other version such as 6, 8, 8+ are terrible. Maybe B7 they are on sale too, but there are quite a few reviews noting issues with the top eyelet digging into the foot. Also concerned with the latest Yonex PCP as they are listed as having more heel room and therefore same slipping like the Barricades?

Try the Asics Gel Resolution 5 or 6. They are pretty similar to the 308: lots of room in the toe box, maybe a touch less cushioning (but still good), and superior durability.

Note: I have three pairs of the 308, three pairs of the GR5, and one pair of the GR6

Why would you want to change from the 308? Yonex makes the best shoes.

Isn't the 308 becoming difficult to find?

I never wore the 308. What in the current Yonex lineup has the closest fit to the 308?

I still have 2 pairs of PCD in my shoe lineup. I'd guess I'll need to buy another pair of Yonex by next year. I've always believed the PCD has a wider toe-box than the 308, but that was only from reading reviews.

308 has been Discontined and it is impossible to find it anywhere on earth. only few very odd sizes remain....

That's what I thought.

Why is everyone talking as though you can just go to a store and buy the 308 if it is a discontinued shoe that's almost impossible to find?:confused:
