    Which part of the 91 is wider than the 100? I tried a pair of SHB-100MX's in size 13 and the length was right but it was way too narrow on my left foot.

    It looks like the 91 doesn't have the side support bars that the 100 has:

    I imagine that is why the sides are softer and there is more flex. On the other hand, that is right where the 100's were too tight on my foot. Did you keep wearing your 91's to break them in or are they no match for the 100's?

    The 91M is a bit longer and significantly wider than the 100s. I'm sure if I broke in the 91s, they would be even wider. I've only worn the 91s a few times, they are comfortable for walking but no match for the 100s for badminton specific use. I'm going to sell the 91s. :)

    Oeeh, they look so sweet. I mean the new SHB100 LTD's. I need to get my hands on a pair at BBE this summer... Hope they've got size 46 though. Difficult to find them.

    When broken in, with SFB:

    +The 100MX is the widest

    +Both LTDs are the same in width

    +The 2008 LTD is the best performing by a hair because the side walls are stiffest. They are my favorite badminton shoes.

    Wow.. so detailed that I can nearly feel the textures of the shoe by just looking at it..

    You know what.. you're really tempting me to get a pair of those. My current shoes provide almost no cushionning, and the taction is just terrible.. :(
    Actually.. whatever you say is good, I'm tempted to get one. :p

    My Asics

    Let me to show my Asics Gel Sensei 2. Primarily the volley shoes, heavier than badm ones (approx. 500g). I have red volley contra badm disputations and my reasons to buy Gel Sensei 2 were:
    1. durability. As my weight is 100kg (approx. 220lb:confused:) I need durable shoes. I don´t need any extra gel insoles because Asics has gel enough:). After 1 year playing no problem with my foots and with my shoes also:).
    2. universality. I play volley also.
    3.brand confidence. I have used many Asics indoor shoes and I have been always satisfied.

    Again, it's designed for volleyball but it's still good for badminton as well.
