Hi Tec Men's Auckland Waterproof Shoes

Hi-Tec 4 SYS Badminton Shoes - good for basic needs player.

Advantages: Excellent grip and very light.
Disadvantages: Narrow shoe.

Overall these are very decent shoes for the money. Great grip on court and very light. Though you have a wider foot, like myself, these shoes are not for you. They are quite narrow and take some stretching. Order a (UK) half size larger than you are usually for best fit. I've been playing a regular 6 - 9 hours a week for 6 months while wearing these shoes and they have fared quite well. With all the stop/start and lunging and jumping movements of playing badminton the "High Tec" logo has come away from the shoe (where it is glued) and the stitching has begun to split away from the logo. This is probably just wear and tear from regular/hard usage. I'd recommend these shoes for a badminton player of good ability but someone who only plays 3-4 hours per week. ...

Review of Hi Tec 4 SYS Mens Badminton Shoes

Wonderful walking boots for snow-terrains

Advantages: Comfortable, warm, suitable for the purpose
Disadvantages: Only really useful in snowy / icy weather

on the snow. 6. They need to be adjustable, so that you can easily loosen them to put them on / remove them. 7. If possible, there should be a pull-string round the ankle, so that a snug fit can be achieved, preventing snow from slipping inside your boots. 8. If possible, they need to look stylish, smart enough to wear round town as well as when striding across snow-covered terrain. 9. They need to be affordable, good enough to meet the purpose without breaking the bank. My solution? I have invested in a pair of Hi-tec St. Moritz 200 brown / cream boots, which I bought at the local Outdoor shop. I recommend that you buy them at a specialist outdoors shop, so that you can try them on with suitable socks, to check their fit and level of comfort. It is a good idea to try on a pair one size larger than your normal shoes. They ...

Review of Hi Tec Ladies Snow Terrain Boots

Auckland City

Advantages: Great place to see views of city
Disadvantages: It is a city and New Zealand is so much more beautiful to go rural

General over view: Auckland was my first destination when I arrived in New Zealand, traveling into the city and seeing the Sky Tower for the first time was really cool, I remember thinking I made it! I am really here!! The City is big but easy to get around using the tram system they have in place. It is a very clean and friendly city, if you don't have long I would recommend a couple of days here. The Sky Tower is the main thing to see and do and is a great place to get great views, I also recommend taking a ferry trip to one of the near by islands. A great hint and tip for you is to take the Stray Bus free city tour, this was great to see what Auckland has to offer you, and you can book onto the tour through your hostel. They pick you up from the hostel and first take you to the Sky Tower, here they will ask if anyone wants to ...
