The cutting has basically stopped, it has not cut through the heel, there's just an imprint.

Maybe recently I've been light on my feet.

Edit: haha i miss spelled it thats why i didn't get any results. either way I see if i can buy it from a local store.

since u live in Ontario, try sportchek
I myself drove around a couple sportchek stores to find one that still have superfeet green, (most i saw are blue)
They usually carry them but not in large quantities so chances are they
get sold out pretty fast.
I remember seeing them at Coast Mountain Sports as well

I just want to say that not everyone will benefit from the superfeet insole, well at least not in my case.

Two months ago, I was browsing in a ski equipment shop and saw the superfeet insoles. I thought I might try out the green SF. I replaced my SHB68 insole with the green SF. Initially, I felt a tiny pain. I thought it's fine. I will just have to get use to it. But the pain got worse. After 1 month of use (about 10 sessions), I got pain from my toe to my heel right up to my ankle on both my legs. I then reverted back to the Yonex insole and I don't get anymore pain during and after a baddy session.

Oh, the reason I change the insole is because I find my Yonex insole has worn off and felt very thin. Time to get a new Yonex shoe I think.

I have not tried the SHB68 but is it a softer or stiffer shoe?

There are a few different Super Feet insoles. The Green one is the stiffest. It maybe you need a softer one like the Blue or Black. It can make a big difference.

Thanks for your suggestion, DinkAlot. SHB68 is a softer shoe.
I already ordered my new Yonex(but not SHB100

). I will try the Blue SF when I come across one later.

dan, have you ever worn/played with the SHB 90's?

Nope; I heard they were a bit stiffer than the 100s.

**TheRisingX** · 08-13-2007, 03:26 PM

I switched from the 99MX's to the 90MX's, and the difference in support is huge O_O, maybe a bit too much actually. I'd say cushioning is better in the 90's but 99's give me an "agile" feeling

, I'll comment more once I've worn the 90's for long enough (only wore twice so far).

**Happy_Daniel** · 08-13-2007, 06:14 PM

Where would I find the super insoles =?

**Tsuioku** · 09-14-2007, 07:57 PM

Looking at the chart... In order of comfort (with stock insoles):
100MX < 99MX < 99LE... Where would the 100LE fit in?

In order of comfort:
1) 99-LE
2) 99-MX

A noticeable margin between the 99 and 100 but not a big deal. Minor between the 99s.

3) 100-LE
4) 100-MX

In order for performance:

1) 100-LE
2) 100-MX

A significant margin between the 100 and 99, a moderate to big deal. Minor between the 100s.

3) 99-LE
4) 99-MX

Overall:

1) 100-LE
2) 100-MX

A significant margin between the 100 and 99, a moderate to big deal. Minor between the 100s.

3) 99-LE
4) 99-MX

I still have two pairs of 99LEs. I just use them for walking now.

**jseto** · 09-25-2007, 12:07 AM

Whaoh its nearly 40$ for a pair of sfb or sfg. Is it really worth it? Im about 15 and about to get a new pair of shoes (shb 71). Is adding the extra 40$ worth the money by making the shoe last longer?

oh and btw, after a baddy shoe is no longer usuable, can you still use a superfeet in another shoe?, or will the superfeet have alreadey broken too?

**bolts** · 03-12-2008, 05:34 AM

Just out of curiosity is anyone familiar with or has anyone tried kawasaki shoes?

Ran into some on Ebay but I had never heard of them before and they seem to have one model that's looks to be a clone of the shb-100..

ebaylink

Is it indeed similar?

Can we fund a pair for dink to review??

Let's see ...divided by 5.....would be....anyone??
