My 99LTD is nearly to be dead. Wanna buy a pair of new shoes. Is there any better choice for narrow feet? 99LTD suits me well, but it's hard to find now. There might be a new 99LTD with new color next year. Maybe I should buy 2 pairs this time.
If you add Super Feet Green insoles to the 99LTDs, I would say no, there is not a better badminton shoe and I've tried 8 or 9 different pairs (badminton to squash to volleyball shoes), all top of the line. However, I have not tried the Mizuno Wave Smash S2 which I heard is on par if not better then the LTDs. Unfortunately the S2 is not available in the U.S. and they don't have my size in Asia. So, I guess I'll never know.
IMO the LTDs is the best. The Mizuno Wave Smash is slightly a point lower than the LTDS.. however it is still better than other yonex shoe models. SHb99 low aka LTDs is the only yonex shoe that i bought twice. Reason is because they are really good and durable.
Agree on the "really good" part, that's why I've had 4 pairs. Well, 3 LTDs and one 99. On the durability part, I find them average. Errrr...nevermind, I'm not a good indicator of durability.
i would say that the asics gel sensei and gel tactic are better shoes compared to the 99 ltd. give those a try if you can get a hold of them, you won't regret it. the gel sensei retails at slightly more expensive than the 99 ltd though in the uk.
