    One. I use most of my salary to pay bills and savings. [​IMG]
    For a weekend warrior like me, it makes almost no sense in owning more than one pair.

    I've got 4 pairs...

    1 that i commonly use week in and week out
    2 very old and should probably be thrown away but i can't bear to do that yet
    1 final pair that i use occationally. saving this for when the current shoe wears out.

    just one... SHB-98, although I somewhat regret getting it, i was pretty close to twisting my ankle once while doing some footwork... supposedly the 89's have better support... then again my style is always to use up my one pair pretty good so i don't feel bad when i get the newest styles, if i buy 2 now, i know in a year or 2, there's gonna be some hot new style i'll want but feel bad getting when i have 2 perfectly fine shoes... that's just me...

    3.
    2 SHB92EX
    1 SHB89Men

    one 92EX is used for a track shoe now.
    that leaves 2 pairs for badminton needs. but i have been neglecting the 92ex. I feel much comfortable with the japan 89...

    I have 2 pairs.
    A pair for play and I wear the other when I give training.
    If I buy a new one, I throw my training shoe away and replace it with the for playing, then replace it with the new one.

    I use SHB89MX for playing and SHB92EX for training.

    I've only got one. And one is all I'll be having. I'm poor, I'm a student. And I've only got 1 racket too, I mean, what's the point of having a bagful of rackets? You can only hold 1 racket on court right...

    shoes

    Two, one for each foot. Why, how many feet do you have? Surely you should be playing footy with more than two feet.
