    Baliston Shoes

    I stumbled across this website the other day. Has anyone ever tried their shoes? What do you think of them?

    Haven't seen em... but looking at the website, it seems that the fencing shoe is one of the few models there that doesn't have the sole wrap up around the toe like the squash, volleyball, badminton, table tennis,and "indoor sport" shoes he's designed.
    The laces don't go far enough down to the toe, and there is little provision for lateral support to keep the toe box from stretching ever wider.
    A case of fashion over function - and still missing the mark. Thats one Fu-ugly shoe.
