Both my 12s feel the same. The LEs maybe a tad bit wider because the material appears to stretch a little more.

Women's Nike Court Shuttle.

So far pretty okay, although there wasn't this 'grippy' feeling at first, after a while it 'came out'.

Unfortunately there's some clothe material.. thats white. Turning black.

I am using the Yonex SHB89M. But i like the pair of Taufik Hidayat and Lin Dan the most. The problem is, they are not available in Germany

I can now confirm for certain my LEs are a bit wider than my MXs.

I saw somebody wearing these, it seems to work just fine for him though it seems that the cushioning is a bit lacking. This is just from observation though.

I wear Yonex Shb 99mx and i think that they are great in terms of stability but lacking in terms of cushioning. What they need is a thicker insole or another underneath the yonex one. The yonex one gets crushed after sweating and forms an imprint of your feet. This stiffens the cushioning and so stiffles the effect. Seeing as i cant afford Superfeet performance Green and i not sure whether sorbothane full strike is any good, i swapped my yonex ones with a pair of thicker victor insoles. It lacks the yonex perfect shape/stability but the shoes definitely feel bouncier. Im sure i can jump higher and play better.

Just my opinion.

Ps. Take insoles out after wearing shoes. Helps insoles to reinflate and "puff up". Plus it gets rid of the smell.

Do you guys have a general way of cleanign your shoesafter using them on a rather dusty floor? Or do you just wash them?

**chickenpoodle** · 01-13-2007, 02:00 AM

take a paper towel and dampen one end. use the dry end to wipe off any dust that can be removed, then wipe it with the dampened end of the towel.

its as simple as that.

got an adidas lightster...and so far, am loving it

**hybridragon** · 01-19-2007, 02:58 AM

Uh, I have a pair of SHB-48s. I think I need new shoes. Haha. I have a hole in my left shoe because of my habit of dragging my left foot along the floor. As for the other one, it just wore out just from normal use. I'm not sure what to buy that'll prevent the damage on the right shoe. D:

**gerald** · 01-20-2007, 05:34 AM

wow, i got my very first "official" badminton shoes! i got Adidas Superlight...its relatively cheap....

**jerby** · 01-20-2007, 08:11 AM

a little too great the first hours..they felt 'squishy' when I did a splitstep...
Now they're great! they fit my feet better as well...Gettign msyelf 2 mroe pair I guess..
