    So I recently went to my badminton shoes to find the right shoes size that would fit me since I'm gonna buy the SHB-102MD.
    The shoes that was most similar was the SHB-101MX but I encounter a problem.

    I wear a size 9 in Nike and Adidas so I tried the 9.5 but the left foot felt somewhat loose around the toe area and the right foot was good. So I tried the size 9 also. However the size 9 felt tight on my right foot but perfectly fined on my left.

    What are your guys thought on what size I should get?

    or you could get the larger size and try wearing a thicker sock on the smaller foot and thinner sock on the larger foot

    Don't buy either - at least not without trying on plenty of other shoes first.
    Getting a shoe that fits perfectly is FAR more important than style or any so-called "technology".

    So I took your advice to try out different shoes (92 and 85)... and they were about the same feeling. The 92 and 85 felt better in size 9.5, but it was still a little big on my left. :(

    If I had the money then I would... but then I would be left with two separate shoes. :/

    That might help a bit...

    Guess I'll just go with size 9.5 since it seems my feet fluctuate in size. :|

    It's common to have one foot bigger than the other.

    Just get the larger size and wear a thicker sock on the smaller foot and thinner sock on the bigger foot, as I said in post #3.
