Shoes are a very personal choice. Not everyone will be comfortable in the same shoes as someone else. You really should try on a pair before you buy in order to really know if a pair of shoes is going to be comfortable, and even then you can't be sure until you run on the court with them. To give a blanket statement that Shox are bad and shouldn't be worn is just silly and should be taken with a grain of salt.
There is a member of my association who has started his own ref shoe business, and these shoes are super comfortable to me:
Official Footwear
The lows come in patent and are really sharp. The mid's won't come in patent until next year, I'm told. But they are very comfortable to me. If you have a wide foot, however, you might not find them as comfortable.
