My new Shoes!!! : )

**calvinlgoh** · 04-12-2004, 12:26 AM

SHB 89 (yellow)

Played with them for about 4 hours last week and I am glad to say I am very happy with them... this is my first pair of badminton specific shoes... felt more comfortable running around the court...

for those who are not wearing badminton shoes... i suggest you get one.. although the effect may be only in my mind... i sure feel better....

here are some pics....

Bluejeff - Did you really drop that egg in there... hhahaha... how high did you drop it from!!??

Ok.. i think its not JP version. Does it have an extra padding underneath the Pad?

**calvinlgoh** · 04-12-2004, 11:35 AM

ants - there dont seem to be an extra padding under the Pad. I removed the soles and there is this silver material thats rough but nothing resembling pads...

is there suppose to be one..??

Are you sure Ants, all this seasons Yonex I've tried (I settled on the SHB 98) only have the grey insole and then the sole of the shoe.

UK version(s) though.

The one thing I like about the 98 is the weight and responsiveness but the lack of ankle support is SHOCKING in a top of the line shoe.
