I agree. On my feet they have a glove-like fit but still do not squash my feet in the forefoot and toe box. I also ordered the Power Cushion Durable (since they are supposedly even lighter and have a more durable sole) but they are a completely different animal. They run extremely small and are very tight in the toe and forefoot. I promptly exhanged them for another pair of the Power Cushion Rev. Plus, I think the Black/Blue colorway is terrific.
Did you get the Power Cushion Durable 2 or the originals?
The original PCD ran slightly long and I thought they had decent toe box room. That's bad news if the latest version is tight in the forefoot.
They were the Durable II. ...I do have wide feet in the toe and forefoot area but also need a narrow heel, so they might work just fine for your feet.
The Fusion Rev's are truly excellent, so I decided to pass on trying to make the Durable II fit my feet. The Durable II is a well made shoe, as I would expect from Yonex, and they looked great too. They do have normal lacing -- the curved lacing system on the Fusion Rev really does eliminate any pressure on your feet even when laced up very snugly. I really notice the difference when switching between the Fusions and T-22's. I hope this catches on with Yonex users, since I do not want to go back to conventional lacing in the future.
Thanks for the answer.
No, I have a regular heel and E-width forefoot but with a wide toe spread. The original Durable were fairly good in terms of toe box width, so I'll really have to consider my next purchase. I was really looking to get a pair of durable as practice shoes because I definitely prefer them over Prince T22 which I've been wearing for practice. I wear 12s in the T22 and 11.5 in the PCD. Sounds like I'd have to look at a 12 or 12.5 in PCD2 shoes.
Sounds great, but hopefully they'll adopt the Fusion innovations to the next version of Durables. I've been using the NB MC60s as match day shoes, but they are not very durable. Still love them for the light weight, but the last shape is not as good as on the Yonex shoes.

I also have T-22's and Babolat SFX's -- both very good shoes. This new Yonex beats both hands-down. It is a real pleasure to play in these. I do not know about wear yet.
I was planning on trying the Power Cushion Pro's, but have since put that on the back burner due to the Fusion Rev's awesomeness.
I have not tried Power Cushion Pro. Only the Power Cushion Fusion Rev (and just tried on the Durable II). Out of the box the PCFR is more cushioned all the way around, including the forefoot, compared my T-22's. A big difference is no pinching at all with PCFR right out of the box. My third shoe, Babolat SFX, has an extremely cushioned feel but lacks the fit, support and speed of the PCFR. PCRF has a nice low ride, too. I am loving these shoes big time.
Thanks for your comparison to T22.
Hey guys,
I know this threads been dormant for a couple weeks but I just have a couple questions. I use the SHT-307 currently (I bought 3 pairs on sale), but I started to need insoles due to developing a low arch and now the 307s are a tad narrow cause my width increased. I wear Asics running shoes that are 2E in width and the forefoot pain is not present. I don't want to bump up to a 4E because that is just too wide. Would the Fusion Rev or the Pro be more suitable for someone who needs a wider forefoot.
Simple answer is yes there is room and the lacing system is really good at giving a fitted feel depending on your adjustments
So both shoes are suitable or does one suit a wider foot better. I also am dabbling with ankle braces so the 'looser' ankle fit of the Pro seems like it would actually be a benefit.

Wow the fusion rev really does seem to be the shoe I have been looking for, for a long time, I have a wide forefoot and midfoot but heel not so much so this seems perfect, my Asics GR6's are way too narrow for my foot not sure what I was thinking buying them as they kill my feet!
How does the yonex fusion rev compare to the NB MC996 v2 in 2E? From what I have read it looks like the yonex is the better shoe for fit, comfort and durability
I would not know about the NB you referenced. I have not felt good in any NB shoe in any width for many years. Every time I give them another time I am always disappointed. I recently added the KSWISS Big Shot 2.5 to the rotation and am loving it. Not quite as wide or soft as the Fusion Rev, but it is still very, very comfortable on my feet. This is another option with some good deals going on right now during transition to the newest colorways. Update to the post you quoted: the durability on the Fusion Rev is nothing to worry about -- they wear better than I expected despite the lack of a durability guarantee.
How about the fit on these trainers, both the fusion rev and k swiss big shot 2.5, did you find that they are true to size and you can stick to your normal size or did you go a size up etc?
Both true to size.
Thanks for all the info, think I'm sold on the fusion rev!
We seem to have a similar foot type so I'm sure we will run into the wide foot fit problem again when they inevitably decide to discontinue the current models

Hmmm interesting, I may try them both on and then decide which one I will getI can only tell you the fit as I only tried 996v2 2E in store, which is wider than fusion rev, not by a lot, but difference is very noticeable. It's also a hair longer.
What? White and gold is betterWell damn, TW Europe have sold out on the fusion rev in my size! Luckily other etailers have them available in the black/blue colourway which I prefer anyway![]()
White and gold? the blue/orange and black/sky blue are the only options I know ofWhat? White and gold is better.
That's a joke, you know the dress color photo? Black and blue are better looking for sure.White and gold? the blue/orange and black/sky blue are the only options I know of
