Yonex Power Cushion Pro shoes - No ventilation

I love these Yonex shoes.

It has been 4 months that I have been playing with them (3-5 times a week, mostly singles at the 4.0+ level). They are very comfy and hardly show any sign of damage.

There are only two negatives with the shoes:

1) They are pretty heavy.
2) I usually don't sweat. But these shoes, wow, there is no ventilation. My socks are wet like been soaked in a bath.

This is a deal breaker for the hot, hummid summer months. I felt like I am running in a paddle. They were squeeking and left big water stamps every where on the court in a way that I started to be emabarassed. Not to mention that it wasn't comfortable.

Soon I will need a new pair and I am in a limbo. Don't know what to buy. Again, I love the comfort with these shoes. While I can live with the above negatives for the winter months, once springt\summer kicks in, it is a no-no.

Have any one tried the Yonex Power Cushion Fusion Rev. I hope they are the same as Power Cushion Pro but with better ventilation.

Any other comparable shoes (Nike, Adidas, Lotto..) that someone can recommend?

Thanks!

I don't think they are that heavy. Certainly no more than most of the other shoes out there.

They could have better ventilation though. You might try some different socks or have you thought of maybe taking a drill to them. Adding some extra holes for ventilation might help.

they are heavy, 15 oz or more. that is too heavy for performance. anyway, your ventilation issues have been solved or will be when next model comes out in January. hopefully this darn thing is also lighter.

They're 15 oz at what size 14?

The shoe really isn't heavy relative to size
