After a few borderline injury issues that I felt had to do with training load, I thought it might be smart to try out different shoes, and maybe alternate between them to lessen the training stress somewhat.
I looked over the fence, and stumbled upon badminton shoes that took my fancy visually and felt good when I tried them on. I've trained with them a few times, and like them so far. Artengo's an obscure brand for me (but I don't care a whit about branding anyway), but this Perfly BS190 is a very light shoe with a snug fit (for me), with a little more support at the foot arch than is usual. For me, that seems to work well. They're rather inexpensive, under €30.
The fit and finish of the shoe is OK. It's good in the sense that the shoe seems sturdy and well-designed to take the beating of constant and intense strain. I did notice a few small traces of glue remaining at the seams; easily removed by gently running a nail across. There are limits to the finishing level that is to be expected at this price level.
The soles have a different profile from what I'm used to see for TT shoes. They offer a good grip; just so. Just right but they wil still slide, move and turn a bit; they feel utterly dependable.
So, a very affordable, comfortable shoe that feels sturdy, but is nimble and light on the feet, and is very stable onder high intensity movement. I like it so far.
