Yonex Comfort Z3 summary
The Yonex Comfort Z3 feels like a performance shoe with a touch of cushioning, rather than an all-out cushion and protection-based shoe. The toe box felt stiff and with the same level of cushioning as Yonex’s SHB 65z3. The heel felt decently cushioned.
Overall, it’s a decent shoe but gets outperformed by other shoes in almost any area, making it hard to see where this one comes out on top.
Who this shoe is best for
This model seems best suited for ambitious casual players who play the occasional tournament.
It feels more like a performance-type shoe with a touch of cushioning, rather than a shoe focused on cushioning and protection above all.
Who this shoe isn’t for
As I was getting this shoe I was expecting it to be for casual players looking for a cushioned and protective shoe.
After testing it, that doesn’t feel like the case and I don’t see which casual player would choose it over the Eclipsion Z3 if they are looking for protection.
Yonex Comfort Z3’s pros and cons
Pros
- The cushioning underneath the heel feels good and as if it shapes itself after your foot, despite being relatively lightweight
Cons
- The toe box isn’t as cushioned as I’d expect from a flagship cushion-based shoe
