![]() This is the least expensive shoe on my list. The new model grips the court better, and I also happen to like the design a little better. I actually like it better than the previous Rocket 9. I’ve been testing the Asics Gel Rocket 10 for several weeks now and I’m happy with it. The Asics Gel Rocket range has been hugely popular over the years because you get a decent shoe at a very reasonable price. They are on the expensive side, but in my opinion they’re worth the extra cost.īuy (US): | | | | | | If there’s one drawback to these shoes it’s the price. So I can be fairly confident that they’ll be available to most Squash Source readers. The insoles are a little more rigid than others on the market, so it’s easy and quick to slot them back into the shoe.Īnother nice thing about these shoes is they are available in the US, UK and Europe. ![]() They are removable, so if you wear orthotics, or just want to let your shoes air out after playing, you can slide them out. This shoe has some of the nicest insoles I’ve seen. They have some bright color choices, so they are far from boring, but at the same time the designs aren’t crazy over the top. I personally like the cosmetics of this line of shoes. There’s not too much visible stitching on the shoe - meaning there are fewer weak points for the shoes to come apart. They have a strong but lightweight plastic reinforcement around the toe to protect against wear from foot drag. I’ve been using the Fastball 3 for over six months and so far found them to have very good durability. Despite the thin sole, it’s still got good cushioning because Asics has put some of their more advanced technologies into this shoe. The Fastball offers a low profile, meaning a relatively thin sole, so you feel “close to the court” as you’re scrambling around. It’s the shoe I’m personally using at the moment and it’s also the choice of several pro players. The Asics Gel Fastball 3 is my pick for the best overall shoe right now.

I’ve just ordered a pair of the Blast FF3 to formally review. I’ve not tried these myself, but I’ve received feedback from trusted sources that this is the best high-end Asics shoe on the market at the moment. I know this won’t work for everyone, so my suggestion if you are looking for an alternative high-end shoe is Asics Blast FF3. I have purchased two pairs this way (to the USA). There are some sellers from Japan selling the latest colorways and delivering internationally. ![]() If you have larger feet, one option is to click Search > eBay and choose your local eBay site. NOTE: this shoe is in very low supply right now. So basically I’m gonna repeat myself and say it again except in bold caps: IF YOU LIKE A SQUASH SHOE, BUY MULTIPLE PAIRS! And with their suddenly limited resources, shoe companies have been redirecting their efforts to making outdoor shoes like running shoes and so on, which are selling better in the pandemic. For one thing, the manufacturing is done mostly in Asia, which has been greatly disrupted by coronivirus infections and shutdowns. You know how the whole pandemic situation has messed with manufacturing supply chains across the entire world? Well it’s especially true for squash shoes. ![]()
