Currently running out there with Head Graphene XT Prestige Pro strung with hybrid setup: Klip natural gut black 16 ga. in the mains @ 52 lbs and Diadem Solstice Pro 16 ga. in the crosses @ 48 lbs. When I can't get Klip brand gut in the black, I use Babolat VS black, and I will also use Solinco Revolution or Hyper-G as the poly some. I string it a little tighter when when warmer weather arrives, but not much. I string my own, so its easy for me to experiment. I have been a Babolat APD user, and have dabbled in Yonex Ezone 98, but Prestige Pro seems to work best for me.
With regard to shoes, I'm currently on Asics Ges Res 6. Thinking of trying the new Head Nitro or the new Babolat Jet. Have tried to like Zoom Vapor 9.5's, but didn't work for me.

Adidas Barricade shoes are the only ones I will ever wear. Ankles feel like they're double wrapped and have never experienced problems with mobility. I'm looking at getting a new racquet but currently have Wilson BLX Juice 100. Have Luxilon Savage white strings on.

I kind of rotate between Prince Graphic Classic 107 (when I need power and just want to pound groundstrokes) and some Head Prestige and Prestige Pros (Microgel and Youtek versions). I generally use Prince Synthetic Duraflex when I want to be cheap and Wilson NXT when I want some feel. I don't feel like spending a ton on polyester strings that go dead quickly, but have enjoyed Weiscannon Silverstring and Signum Pro Poly Plasma when I've tried them. I used those because I read a lot about how they hold their tension better than most polyesters.
As far as shoes, those Vapor 9.5 are perfect for my feet. I've read great things about Barricade Boost, Asics, and Yonex shoes. The Barricade Boost seemed to be a softer Barricade, they just gouged the insides of my feet for some reason.

Nike Vapor shoes (the ones fed wears) are the best available IMO
I've used the same Prince EXO Black Team 100 racquet for a few years now and its excellent. Haven't felt the need to switch to a new racquet.

I use the Tecnifibre TFight 315 Dynacore racket with Tecnifibre XOne Biphase 16g, and Babolat Propulse shoes.

Plenty of good polys that are super performers (as good as Lux) and won't break the bank ($10 a full set or about $7 a racquet if you go by reel). New softer co-polys maintain tension and playability significantly longer than older polys.
I try everything I string for friends and teammates, and this is the best multifilament out there, well maybe tied with TF NRG2, but NXT is up there as well, but these guys will hit you for $18-20 a set unless you are buying a reel, and even then only a few bucks cheaper. But the flip side is they maintain tension well, and if you're not a string breaker, they will be good for a while.
