    personal preference, i like the 100's best cause of the honeycomb grip at the bottom. if im not mistaked the 90's are being replaced buy the 91's which also have the honeycomb grip on the bottom. im sure you can still easily find 90's around though.

    all three are ok. good grip, stable and comfortable. the only thing i didn't like is it's durability. average lifespan is about 9 months.

    SHB-99LTD last the longest ! Outsole Rubber Comfort also good.

    SHB-100 comfort for inner feet is good due to Round Sole, fits the foot naturally.

    What about SHB-100 durability? I'm playing 3 times in week, and (2?)tournaments in month. How long will they be in use?

    If rely on this, the only pair (100) for all the sessions you've mentioned. Shoe would wear out in 1 year (4th-5th month would show signs of wearing). 99 would last longer. To prolong shoe's life, alternate with another pair (if no budget restrain) weekly.

    I think if you play this much (although there are people who play more) and enter tournaments, having at least two pairs of shoes would be ideal. Its the same idea as having several of the same racquets with identical strings. What would happen if your shoes broke during a game?

    I hope this wouldn't happen to me.



    I'm not so rich to buy two pairs of yonex SHB-100. This cost too much ;(

    1 pair of 100's should last you quite a while as long as nothing bad happens to the shoe itsef like tears, rips or like really major damage to the shoes. currently im wearing the normal 100's and i train 5-6 days a week from 2-3 hours each time and i find there lasting really well i just bought them end of august to replace the last pair or normal 100's that i had and those lasted me almost a year. well im sure the new ones will last me till may or june if not longer but personally i like to change my shoes atleast once a year if i can since i know it can be expensive for sure to but if i cant then thats fine too just got to make sure to take real good care of my shoes.

    the 99's and everything i use to have the limiteds and i find they ware out just as fast if not a little faster cause of the silver coating on the shoe as well i didnt like the grip at the bottom cause i found that wore out really fast within a few months it was just bad.

    strings breakage can be happened twice per session. Anything could happen.

    I agree. Like I said, it would be ideal to have two pairs. If not, just get a pair of 100MX and see how they do. I know the 100MX is more durable than the 99MX so they should last for quite a bit longer.

    I Just bought the SHB - 100 MX Limited Edition, $149 Canadian. It was a really hard choice between the Limited Edition and just the regular 100's. The differences were: 1. The LTD's are lighter than the regulars. 2. The LTD's have a thinner tounge with large holes for ventilation, rather than a well-padded tounge 3. The LTD's have a stock insole with a really cool raised, bumpy "wave" pattern. 4. Not to be shallow, but the gold looks really cool. The regulars had more padding and were more comfortable, but these are badminton shoes, not house slippers.

    SHB-100LTD FTW!!!...the shoe tongue is much more comfortable on the feet than the ones on the regular 100MX. It makes your feet feel fully supported and I've been using it for 3 months now and there are no signs of wear besides maybe my stinky feet??:S

    My red colour SHB-99LTD lasted for almost 3 years. I am also hunting for a new shoe now. I last checked SHB-100LTD at a local shop here and they offered BND120 (USD84). I hope it can last as long as my previous shoe. ~~~~
