    Hey,

    I came upon some 200s and 101s yesterday but hestitated to buy them since they didn't seemed as appealing in terms of inline soles and outside "cheezy silver" design. Yet still more leaning towards the 100 Limiteds..

    Question is: since they are quite new. Has anyone in BC tested them out yet? or have compared them to the 100s?

    I have a very narrow feet and would like some advice as I can't test them out on the court without buying them.. hehe :rolleyes: TIA

    would you say they are better support wise as compared to the 100s?

    In your mind
    I think durability should be the main concern.

    well, I went and tried both on today. I originally liked the 100 limited for its support and lightness but they didn't have my size.. I needed 9.5usa, they only had 9s which was a tab tighter when I lunge so its no go. I finally broke down and bought the 200. I still can't stand the silverish design but oh well, I'll try it out tomorrow night and see.

    1) SHB-200 is not that good looking.
    2) SHB-200 has the new design on the heel of the shoes which is better than SHB100-ltd

    i saw this but couldn't decide.

    SHB 200 (it was kinda ugly colors)
    or just get the SHB100-Ltd or MX

    or maybe try a differt brand like muzniio or osme sort.

    well, just came home from my practice with Coach Grace Peng. Prior to practice, I've ordered yet another pair of SHB100Ltd because I didn't trust my brand new 200s. Turns out I really love these 200 now. After breaking them in a bit running footworks around court doing the six-points. My feet were expanded and the shoes were way comfortable. My initial thought was that the shoes felt wider then my previous pair but turns out that once I did my footwork, it was a perfect match. So now, I'll have a pair of 100Ltd sitting around as back up. I guess it worked out alright.. hehe.

    Cheers

    Hi sorry but what do you mean by 4E and 3E?
    BTW, does anyone have any comments about SHB101M? It seems to be packed with slightly more features than SHB200? Thanks. :):)

    Yes, the 200s are quite ugly and do fancy the 101s. Never bought 200s before, are the 200s normally wider than 100s? My UK size is 8 but mistakenly I bought Yonex 8 last year, when I should have bought 8.5 size.

    the only difference between SHB200 and SHB101 is that SHB101 has lateral claws.

    4E and 3E mean the width of the shoe so 4E>3E in width. SHB200 is designed for wide feet.

    SHB100 and SHB101 are 3E making them more narrow than SHB200

    Thanks phandrew; I have quite broad feet, guess SHB200 might be more appropriate; how much difference does having lateral claws make, I wonder?:confused::confused:

    If you have wide feet and use the SHB100 or SHB101 you will get a lot of pain from the lateral claws. People with wide feet should use SHB200 or SHB91
