    Yonex SHB 92m, is this shoe durable enough ?
    my current SHB 72 died in just a short 4months... the side of my leg shoe worn up and now there's a hole :crying:

    Im having training 3 times a week.

    is there any other recommendations ? prefer Yonex or Victor.

    thank you.

    The 8000 ACE is significantly wider than the 8600.

    Panda has wide feet and fits the 8000 width-wise.
    Panda does not fit the 8600.

    As for "last", Victor is referring to "shoe last" which is the mold or shape in which the shoe is made from, usually plastic or similar poly material.

    So a standard shoe last means a standard width shoe mold. A wide shoe last means wide shoe mold.

    1. Spenco® PolySorb® Total Support

    or

    2. Spenco® Gel Total Support Insoles

    this brand of insole can be found here in one of the sports chain store (World of Sport i think), but this particular model is not brought in by them. so i got them from Amazon.

    I bought sorbothane sorbo-pro total control replacements for my Yonex shb 200 something or others, my first replacement insoles and frankly the worst i've ever had. bought them half a size less than the shoe, still don't fit properly (too wide in the heel) and the canvas top to the rubber peeled back by the toes within a week of moderately heavy play. Waste of time and money so I'd recommend staying away from them.

    Also as far as shoes are concerned, how do the Victor V-SH 8500 compare as they seem to be one of only two victor pairs readily available in the uk... And are also discounted (marginally). Any experience of them?

    You really need American insoles if you want something decent - Superfeet or PolySorb - but they're overpriced even if you import them. However, they can turn mediocre shoes into good ones, and good ones into great ones. I have a pair of PS Total Supports in SHB-101s, and the difference they offer of those dreadful wavy stock inserts is gigantic.

    W.r.t SH 8500, I have it on good authority that they are the same width (i.e. too bloody narrow) as the 8600 and come with the Talon Guard. They're also a pain in the arse to get from UK:(.

    I have a SHB 200EX shoes that I am using for a few months lately experiencing pain on bottom of my left heel. So considering using an insole to see if it would rectify the problem.

    So in case I get a PolySorb Total Support do I remove the existing insole inside SHB200EX and insert the PS Total Support or does it go on top of the existing insole. Please advice
