    Leon Paul/Hi-tec shoes

    I'm wondering whether anyone has the new Leon Paul/Hi-tec fencing shoes. Are they any good? I'm currently training in the ASICS sensei shoes but need a new pair soon. I've always hated fencing shoes (the adidas asymetrics felt like cardboard attached to my feet and provided no support), but I think these may be different. I need a shoe that has a lot of cushion, otherwise my body doesn't hold up well to the wear-and-tear of hard training and competition on gym floors/metal strips/etc. Anyone have any suggestions/comments?

    Thanks,
    BLW

    well if its the in - soles that are bother you. I always replace mine with Dr. Scholls sporting gel insoles. They dont slip around in the shoe and provide a lot more cushion. Just a thought
    What's the "real" world again? I don't think I can see it from my window
