I have been using the Asics Gel Blast now for a couple of years and I am so used to wearing them that when asked why they are so good I simply said they are the best shoe I have ever played squash in. While that is true it was probably not the most thorough explanation! There are really a few key points that make these shoes great.
Traction - The sole on these shoes is great and really grips the floor well. It is also quite a durable sole as well which is terrific. You don't often find both qualities in a pair of squash shoes.
Comfort - The GEL technology is simply great. The Blast's have GEL in the rear and front of the shoes providing great comfort at both critical points. Squash is a tough game on your feet and the Asics Gel-Blast 3 really do protect your feet well.
Stability - They are really built superbly and handle the constant change of direction well. They are also a fairly low shoe which is great for squash as it gives you the sense of being connected to the court floor.
If you are a serious squash player or a squash player that suffers from pain in the feet from playing you owe it to yourself to give these shoes a shot.
Below is the products specifications from Asics website.
