    really? They didn't have any here, maybe I will ask them to order some, depending on how much their charge of course.

    I have been trying the super feet green for almost 8 hours on SHB 99 Low.

    The first 2 hours were difficult, I am so slow on everything.However as time progresses it I am getting more used to it.

    There is a lot comfort, but it is pretty stiff and feels funny.Perhaps I have not gotten used to it yet.

    Dinker, any suggestion??

    the stiff plastic "capsule" used is supposed to be "pretty stiff" but feeling funny, no, it shouldn't be feeling funny.

    i would suggest giving it more time.

    if your feet hurts or exhibits signs of discomfort, remove them for the rest of the day, and give them another go later on.

    it should get better. if not, then maybe it just wans't meant for your feet.

    You've not gotten used to it, it takes days to weeks to "adjust" but once you do, you will love it. :D

    Dont worry so much about it. Its like getting a new shoe, your feet have to "build into it". it didnt take me very long to perfectly fit into my SP green insoles...took my about 5 sessions with one blister. Now its all good and pain has gone away. =]

    The cutting has basically stopped, it has not cut through the heel, there's just an imprint.

    Maybe recently I've been light on my feet. :p

    since u live in Ontario, try sportchek
    I myself drove around a couple sportchek stores to find one that still have superfeet green, (most i saw are blue)
    They usually carry them but not in large quantities so chances are they
    get sold out pretty fast.
    I remember seeing them at Coast Mountain Sports as well

    I just want to say that not everyone will benefit from the superfeet insole, well at least not in my case.

    Two months ago, I was browsing in a ski equipment shop and saw the superfeet insoles. I thought I might try out the green SF. I replaced my SHB68 insole with the green SF. Initially, I felt a tiny pain. I thought it's fine. I will just have to get use to it. But the pain got worse. After 1 month of use (about 10 sessions), I got pain from my toe to my heel right up to my ankle on both my legs. I then reverted back to the Yonex insole and I don't get anymore pain during and after a baddy session.

    Oh, the reason I change the insole is because I find my Yonex insole has worn off and felt very thin. Time to get a new Yonex shoe I think.

    I have not tried the SHB68 but is it a softer or stiffer shoe?

    There are a few different Super Feet insoles. The Green one is the stiffest. It maybe you need a softer one like the Blue or Black. It can make a big difference.

    Thanks for your suggestion, DinkAlot. SHB68 is a softer shoe.
    I already ordered my new Yonex(but not SHB100 :p). I will try the Blue SF when I come across one later.

    Nope; I heard they were a bit stiffer than the 100s.

    I switched from the 99MX's to the 90MX's, and the difference in support is huge O_O, maybe a bit too much actually. I'd say cushioning is better in the 90's but 99's give me an "agile" feeling :) , I'll comment more once I've worn the 90's for long enough (only wore twice so far).
