    The salesman is correct that all Mizuno products are made in China (including my beloved TC700s). I'm not sure about the implied quality difference like what happened to Yonex. However, if the JPN Mizuno shoes last any longer than those I had previously, they might just last a lifetime.

    Previously i was wearing a clone shb 101 ltd Protech shoe. I have to say that the cushion and the gripping of this shoe is awesome. The front part of the shoe feels great and the durability is quite good tho. Not like any other cheap shoe, after u slide with your left leg toe area, the shoe front part will have a hole:D

    currently wearing the shb 101 ltd's in white/red, have 2 pairs rotating

    Just ordered the Li-Ning AYE005-2's...too expensive, but I have to try. Will be like George and probably also try the SH8600 ACE...

    I would say go for the new Victor SH8600 ACE. It is good value for the quality besides they are badminton court shoes. The Mizunos you listed are volleyball shoes which can be used for badminton but loses out in mobility and grip compared to badminton shoes though their cushioning is fine. If you have to get Mizunos, go for their badminton shoes like their Wave Smash, Wave Gate and Wave Angle series.

    Best mid range shoe?

    I have just bought a kason shoe in December 10 and wore it 2x a week on parquet and it only lasted till this week when i found out the PVC material on the forefoot already crack and i guess it will not take long before it will torn out..any suggestion on any mid range and durable court shoe?

    Victor should be quite common. I'd check with Chris Aw's E-Link Sports in Blk 716 Ang Mo Kio Ave 6. Mizuno wave smash SG had only very limited sizes the last I checked (5 months back). You may be lucky to see one at any World of Sports outlets. I heard that some shops in Queensway SC carry them but I've not set foot there since forever.
