Only place most people know sell SHB shoes is "10 / 10" shop at bras basah. However, it is not cheap as it is "considered" to be high-end shoe compared to AR series, price around $135+ for SHB shoes. The shop says it is promotional price. Too expensive for me, guess i will still break it in about 2 times longer than i break a AR series shoe. So no point. So, i use ASICS or maybe will try mizuno. Maybe some other people know some better "lobang" at other shops
This pair of Yonex does not justify the price. I bought a pair of Mizuno Wave Blocker in Singapore early this month for S$75. Works for me, very comfy and with good support.
Yonex Pro 98 / Pro 99 Not sure if this is the same. Sportslink shops are offering the Yonex Pro 98 / Pro 99 at S$69.90. Retail price was S$139.
Yonex Pro 98 and Pro 99 Shoe I have both PRO-98 and PRO-99 shoe bought at Sportlink. They cost $60 and $69.90 SGD respectively. The original retail price was $169.90 SGD. I have read not so good comment of the Pro series (you can not find much in the web actually). It seems most people look at the SHB series. Only in the Philipines that the Pro Series (97, 98, 99) are consider the high end of badminton shoes. You may also suspicious of the original retail price from Sportlink - since most shop will jack up the price and give you heavy discount. But in the Philipines e.g. PRO-98 was sold at around $85 USD. So the Singapore retail price is not that far off I guess. And for that kind of price I have bought in Singapore, I have no complaint even if it is not as popular as the SHB series. As not much have been said about the Pro series, I will give you my 2 cent worth here. I have bought PRO-99 for 3 month, except for the feeling of a liitle heavy when I jump, it serve me well. I was quite satisfied that by chance, I came across this last pair of PRO-98 and I bought it for $60 SGD this week. I have also no complaint of my PRO-98 so far. Here is a shot review in chinese: Yonex羽毛çƒéž‹å¤§è‡´æœ‰ç»†è„šåž‹å’Œå®½è„šåž‹ä¸¤ç§è®¾è®¡ï¼ŒSHB-89ã€SHB-65ã€Pro-98比较适åˆè„šéƒ¨ç»†é•¿çš„人士，SHB-95ã€AR-95ã€Pro-99，AR-87ã€AR-88适åˆå®½è„šæŽŒã€‚ The Yonex Badminton shoes have the thin foot and the wide foot, two kind of designs.
