Mine is Hi-Tec...
It is Spicy Hot & Sexy

that is hot and sexy. i wished yonex produced bright and colourful shoes! so that you shine on the court. like they make good shirts but ppl look at footwork too!
i believe all yonex shoes have a white base colour on it.

Nup, they released a pair in the states about 3 years ago that were black and silver only. Not a bit of white in sight

The second pair of shoes is called Li Ning, a very popular sports brand... compares to Nike!

i bought the shb 100m, not limited edition ones that I see some people have. Not really happy with them, when I tried them on I thought it would be ok, but playing with them I realise I prefer a shoe which is lower to the ground like my old shb 90m. Feel sluggish or hampered by the fact that shb100m makes my heel much further off the ground. Anyone else feel like this? that a lower to ground shoe is better and if so what type of shoe would you recommend for me and perhaps where to buy? (perhaps I'll get use to the new shoes I dunno really...) thanks a lot for any advice guys.

I wear Yonex SH-0607. I can't tell how good it is... My second pair of shoes... I'm kind of ignorant about changes between shoes. >_<

I actually switched from the 99MX to the 100MX (both not the limited version) and I find that the 100MX gives really good support. I feel that my footwork got better because of the added grip and support.

I have just started playing badminton and I was wondering when is the best time to get shoes and about for how much? Currently, my high school PE class is playing badminton right now. I checked out a local badminton club last Monday, and plan on looking at another one in my state next week hopefully (since they play on Thursdays and their rec center is closed on Thanksgiving.) Are there any recommendations on beginners shoes or is better to go all out and buy some shoes that some of the people who have been playing for years have? I really enjoy playing and I plan on joining a club in college and everything too. Any input?

Got a new pair of shoes ... mizuno wavelightning 4. I saw it from a fellow badminton player. I really like the style. I hope he doesn't mind that we have the same shoes.

Hi, after looking at all the post, may I know, how durable are they? how long do your shoes last? As Im looking for a badminton shoes but too many to choose from. of coz, their price is one of the considerations

Guys,

I found ISS is very good for badminton games as well. I just pick up a pair of Adidas ISS with leather and toe support and found it is more comfortable than Yonex since it is not so narrow and the traction is awesome.
BTW, It is so cheap and you guys can find some decent deal this time in US.
20% OFF + free shipping. Mine is under $40.00
Hope it helps
