The Hitec Wraptor shoe is pretty cheap at the minute, anyone used them?

I've had the hitec Viper shoe for the past few years and am thinking of getting some new ones.

If I was good enough to get flash shoes I'd get Prince ones, but I like the sound of the Wraptors price!

I've been using Hi-Tec Adrenalin Ultra for years and they work great for me (ugly, though) and need new shoes, too. Where have you seen Wraptors cheap? What country? Thanks.

Sport Discount in the UK?

Not many sizes left now though.

I have been using the Hi-tec Wraptor for a couple of months.

Pretty hard wearing but took ages to break in. They destroyed my big toe nail long before I had them broken in. I have never had this problem with other shoes from other manufacturers so I don't think I would go with them again.

I have previously had Nike and Prince.

Buying on basis of price is not actually a great idea Embarassed

Best shoes I have ever used.

I've ordered a pair, I'll see how it goes.

Anyone know of a recycling programme for knackered squash shoes?

I was going to take them to a charity somewhere but they would just give them back.

Perhaps the RSPCA would be interested in some 'dog toys' Wink

I've a duvet that's heading their way this afternoon anyway.

Good post dude, got me thinking.

Sadly Sport Discount had run out of size 10s when I ordered.
So I got some red Wilson EM6s instead.
Haven't used them yet.

Not the best online purchasing experience ever but certainly cheap.

The new Dunlop Pro are on the website and aren't cheap! £9.00 for a 3 pack! I think I'll start playing till they pop.

Surely it's the same ball, different packaging! £2.97 for three in sport and soccer!!!

Must be the current cardboard price hike.

I've just bought the esquash single yellow 12 for 6 quid on the net and they are bouncy like a one dot but fun to play with.
