Accordaz No I've not experienced any of the issues you've had. Generally I am light on my feet. Over time I'm sure my shoes will scuff as it's part of the game. However, my white shoes used to do the same so there's no difference. Paul www.badminton-coach.co.uk
That would be even worse if this was caused by stretching and tearing For me, I slide / drag my foot probably very often. That's why I have a colour hole there. I'll post another picture next week. I'm still not sure if the material is robust enough... By now, I guess it will last less than 4 months
Maybe I'm lucky as I'm not heavy on shoes. I know players who go through 3-4 pairs a season. Perhaps the difficulty with coloured shoes is that the outer layer cannot cope with such punishment although I know white has a tendency to darken it's just not as noticeable compared colour.

BakaForLife - I feel sorry for your shoes. But I've been using SHP9100 for almost 2 months, which I play 3 times per week @3 hours, and the shoes are still great.
Eric just got them in at RKEP today. Just got the red one, will get it by next week. But unfortunately for others, he'll be away over the weekend.

First impressions after a solid 2 hr session with them yesterday and wanted to compare them to the 9000ACE that I had before. Also pics comparing to 9000ACE. Appearance: Red and black look seriously aggressive, much more so than the previous model. My red/black Victor shirt is gonna be majorly worn from now on. And now all I need is to revive my MX80 to match. Fit: Like 9000ACE, fits snugly and comfortably. It just feels like it's part of your feet. And like 9000ACE, no break in period is needed, unlike other shoes I've worn. Cushioning and performance: Looks like Victor listened to our complaints of the previous model and fixed the issues of lack of cushioning and lack of grip (white parts of the sole when new). The white parts on the outsole have been eliminated. The insole is a tad thicker as is the midsole, to provide better cushioning. So it ends up a tad higher than before, which was one of the lowest to the ground. However, a word of caution: wear this and 9000ACE only for matted floors, as it's not cushioned enough for hardwood or linoleum gym floors. You have been warned. :0 Final thoughts on the shiny chrome heels (you didn't think I forget them, did you? ) : Still can't get over how shiny they are. Though I'm surprised how quickly I've grown to like them. It'd be interesting if Victor made one that's completely shiny chrome. I'd buy several! Victor, are you listening...
