anything different about the technology, it just looks like the 99 with different colours.

This 2 pair of shoes definately will not attract me. Too bad.

The outsoles are different and the cushioning used seems to be lighter.
I find that they're way nicer than the new SHB 90 (the old SHB 90 was good). That's one pair of shoes I'll never wear! :p

yea Sir Dink they do look a lot like the SHB 99...Hmm the gold one reminds me of a Adidas Futsal shoes......Hmm cant yonex come out with something more beautiful..

Me like! I'm gonna buy the mid top version.

Ha! I think they look just fine. But we won't know until we actually see them in person. :D

yeah, it's pretty hard to tell until you go to a shop and try them out.
but then, knowing ants, he has prolly tried them on already.

Tried it on.. the shoe is definately light. Cushioning is good but support is so so. However it snug you feel comfortably.But i would still prefer the Limited version.

OK, please send me a Size: 12.5, Mid and I will PayPal you! :D

Sorry.. i dont sell shoes. :)

Master Dan can't wait :D for the new shoes. BTW, in what way is the SHB-100 less supportive? Are you comparing it to SHB-99?

Sorry.. i dont sell shoes. :)

Its too light until you feel clumsy. Not that there is no support. I guess the soles are not flat enought.

love the mid version.

Is it something Super Feet Green can fix?

Sorry.. i dont sell shoes. :)

Darn, can you get lead me to a connection that can get me a pair? On second though, lemme call "the connection", don't want to bother you.

Thanks Ants. :D

I like the look of the mid one better - RED ONEZ GO FASTER!!!!!!!!!

I also prefer mid height shoes as I think they give better support to the ankles, I've got dodgy ankles from twisting them during my basketball phase :p.

Won't be buying them anytime soon though, just got a pair of SHB-90 last month and some Woven rackets from jerby = absolutely broke :crying:.

I'm tempted to get them, but I have my shb 99m already so there isn't a need for another shoe yet.:D

Darn, can you get lead me to a connection that can get me a pair? On second though, lemme call "the connection", don't want to bother you.

Thanks Ants. :D

As much as i want to, but i can't even get a pair for myself to use and play at the moment. Can only see and try on. Things are very restricted in Japan.

Are they as light as the old SHB-98 ?
If so, I might be tempted...

the gold on the shb100 is such a turn off...while the mid version looks a bit better in my opinion.

the shoe looks like a mix between shb99 and shb90. plus it is mid cut

The mid will not be available to Canada. The improvement is the forefoot strap that gives more support and is a quicker reaction from the shoe on direction change.

Hey eggroll,

when do the shoes come out and how much would they be in calgary?

the shoe looks like a mix between shb99 and shb90. plus it is mid cut

I think it's a mix of shb897Mid (for the outsole pattern and midsole construction), shb90 (for the round sole), and shb99 (for the lateral supporting claws).

izzit on sale in singapore???

Hey eggroll,

They will be the same as the 99 is in the stores now. Most likely here in Mid March early April. The intro will be the AE like the AT900. Got a smaple and it is nice. The LE version which is the gold/white is very light which is acheived by using the material Florrisimo that was used in the 99LE. There is a regular version that is slightly heavier with the regular PU upper with tough guard material like the 99M and 99L. The 99LE I wear has been by far the longest lasting shoe I have used. it is also the most comfortable. I hope the new strapping on the sides of the forefoot doesn't bother my wrecked feet on the new 100. For those of who may wonder my feet are wrecked from another sport not badminton!

Have you been playing soccer eggroll?

Probably shaolin soccer :D.

Have you been playing soccer eggroll?

hi eggroll,

the shb100 comes in regular and LE version? besides the weight difference in the 2 are the colors the same or different?

The outsoles are different and the cushioning used seems to be lighter. Where did you get this picture? The sole looks like the SHB100 above but the other photo in the top right looks just like the SHB 65R (http://www.yonex.co.jp/badminton/products/shoes/shb65r.html).

erm?Anyway, thanks for pointing that out. The URL doesn't give me the actual picture and I can't read anything on www.168p.net to be able to navigate to it but it does appear that 168p.net is just a BBS so it isn't surprising that it has some mixed-up photos. If Yonex published something on their website with the sole of an SHB-100 next to the side view of an SHB-65R, then it would be more puzzling.

Nice shoes i wonder how much will it cost???

NICE SHOES!!

Calling Eggroll 123 Over: When will the badders on the West Coast of Canada get this shoe? Will the MID be available?

hum i really like the Power cusion 100's the low (gold) versions i think they look good anyways, now to get hands on a pair of those bad boys...parting with my le's will be a lil hard though oh well i liek both shoes lol 100's and 99'les...something about each just stands out to me. But yeah will they be aviable in Canada and about how much would they go for? or else ill get them in asia when i go this summer.

nice kicks, but the 90s look a lot better

i agree with smash master... 100 low look nice, but theres something about the 100 high's i dont like...

April. No mid sorry. Only the low. The mid was not offered to us and quite frankly the demand from the stores solicited was minimal. There will be a ladies, men's, and the LE version for the 100. Pricing will be about the same as the current 99. The difference is the material in the upper between the LE and the regular 100.

If I can get my new scanner working I'll post the pictures of the new stuff for Canada soon.

Hi eggroll... so far nobody had posted the pictures of the Limited Edition version of the SHB100... i guess shld be real "outstanding" as like the SHB99LE. :D Will real appreciate if u can post some pictures or some links if u know. Many thanks. :p

The limited is the gold one in the very first picture on this thread. The regular will be the red one but in a low version for men.

I think in your area of the world the mid will be available. There are other models as well that we will not see in Canada that you will be able to get as well. The new power Cushion 65R looks very nice but not here in Canada yet.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the export (international) versions of the SHB 99 (red/sliver) are known as SHB 99LE but the ones sold only in Japan are known as SHB 99 Low. The shoes were never "Limited".

Look at the prints on the shoes carefully.

Hi modious..ya.. i know this info abt the shb99 shoes (actually somehow..i tink when it put LE, it means low edition in JP while in export mkt, it means limited ed :) Abbreviations work wonders.:p )

Anyway..will be looking forward to the release of the shb100 on sale here.. :D

Modious, shb 99 shoes have other colours such as blue and black but they are not available in sg...does the jp 1 and sg 1 feel different?btw the background of ur pic where is tat shop located at

Indeed the Limited was initially introduced to the International community as a Limited production run. The shoe was so popular that YY decided to run it as part of the regular line. I think it was such a radical colour that they beleived it wouldn't be accepted on a wide scale. It is correct that in Japan it is the low but I think it was going to be in a mid as well. I cannot recall if this is fact or not. The mid has never been a possibility for Canada as retailers are skeptical about stocking it.

Beware that this SHB-99LE has similar low end model made by Yonex.
It looks very much the same as the SHB-99LE, I saw it a month ago at local sports shop. Pretty much like last time, Yonex released championship pro series shoes which probably based on the SHB-89MG model. Lastly, shock thing as it is selling at S$159 if i remember correctly !! :eek: The 99LE is about S$139, I wonder how is this happening...:rolleyes:

Hi B-KJoe.. its the SB-99 at work again.. :p Its been out in M'sia and Spore for quite sometime already. U can do a search .. believed there are some discussions about it in forum before. ;)

wasn't this thread about the SHB 100? :O hehe,

whatever.. Im very fond of getting a pair of these shoes (shb-100), the shoes I carry now is starting to wear as i have had them for like 2 yrs now. Well, my question was, are these shoes worth buying? I dont know what price i will get the mfor, but me and some friends from my local club are going to order together directly from the swedish yonex importer´. So ill probably get a pretty good price. I think im gonna buy the regular shb-100 (not limited) but i wondered what the difference is? Grateful for all serious answers :D

I like the SHB-100 very much, but can someone tell me whether it is suitable for women? How much is it? Where can I buy?

there is a womens version, just like the case with shb-99... I know a danish site which sells them, but as u live in hong kong, it might not be perfect for you :P anyway, for everyone else (? if it hasn't been mentioned) http://www.badmintonstore.dk

hi eggroll,

the shb100 comes in regular and LE version? besides the weight difference in the 2 are the colors the same or different?

Men's red
Ladies green
LE gold

still waiting for the mid to come out :) cant wait to buy them :cool:

I don't think the MID version will be available internationally.

are you serious ants!? awwwwwwwwwwwww man!!
:eek::eek::crying::mad: i saved up $$ yo buy these lolz.. :(:(:(
so ants do you know where i can buy these, when it comes out middle of march and early april?

thank you

You can order it online or check with your local supplier if they have any. Or you can shop in Japan.

IMO, Shb100 is not as colourful and attractive as Shb99.. Anyway, comfort is the most important.. Depends on everyone's personal preference.. To me, i prefer any pair of comfortable badminton shoes when playing.. anyway, looking forward to hear comparison between Shb100 and Shb99 when someones tries both..

ty for the very fast replay ants, but do you know what site i can order it from? I usually look at sites where they sell rackets,shoes,etc but its extremely hard knowing how to order because of the language :o

thank you

hi there ... can someone tell me ,where can i get a SHB79 in Spore???

i like the look of the shoe but not the colour. I don't like how they're going too "extreme" with colours with new stuff they produce these days

u like the color? the color is not as shining and attractive as SHB-99..

i like the look of the shoe but not the colour. I don't like how they're going too "extreme" with colours with new stuff they produce these days

I second that, I really would like a more minimalistic approach to badminton design. We don't all need neon colored shirts with multi colored shoes. Functionality >> visuals.

i think the new shb -100 shoes are great... generally white, and a bit of colour, where the blue and red are a bit formal, and i think the gold is cool and a bit more exclusive colorized :P well i like them anyway, and would have bought them if it wasnt for my old shoes breaking before i thought they would, too long before the shb-100 was released at my dealer... so... maybe ill just purchase them some other time :)

No review of SHB-100 yet ? :o

yep wating paitently :D:p:)

btw does anyone know any online shops that are going to sell these bad boys?

waiting for the review and comparison with SHB99.. thanks

just bought a pair of these at the all england in birmingham and there great! They feel the same as my old shb99s but i do like the colour on them.

it comes with air cushion as well?

Why can't they come up with a high top one ? then I won't have to wear basketball shoes.

high top will make ankles uncomfortable. for me, i prefer a low cut

just up to the ankle is perfect for me..over-the-ankle shoes are very uncomfortable when lunging...

just up to the ankle is perfect for me..over-the-ankle shoes are very uncomfortable when lunging...

i agree, over the ankle shoes make our side movement difficult. uncomfortable and painful too

For those who have the SHB-100 are they comfortable for someone who has flat feet? I am seriously considering buying a pair, but I don't get the luxury of trying them on first to make sure they are exactly perfect. If they weren't perfect did you buy some additional insoles?

No review of SHB-100 yet ? :o

Initial review: just purchased a pair of the SHB-100s yesterday. Compared to the 99-LE (both with Super Feet Green insoles):

+100 is lighter without sacrificing cushioning.

+99-LE is wider and feel more comfortable (at least so far)

+100 is more rigid. Will probably take a bit longer to break-in but I believe will last longer than the 99-LE.

+100 has reinforced sides and shoe lace eyelets, which is good because I kept ripping my 99-LEs on the side.

+The outer sole on the 100 feels like it has better traction than the 99-LE but the LE is excellent in its own right.

I'll keep you updated as I know more...

soon to come...

SHB 100 VS Dink!!!!!

if the price is good i'll try one if i have the money

The 100 is not cheap, ~$110 USD, street price. :eek:

Dink, the SHB feels tighter maybe your feet is bigger? But i do agree that the LE's is a little wider than the 100s.

Dink, the SHB feels tighter maybe your feet is bigger? But i do agree that the LE's is a little wider than the 100s.

Clarification:

99-MX are a bit tighter than the 99-LE. The LE is wider and more forgiving.

100 is similar to the 99-MX, a bit tighter.

The 100 is not cheap, ~$110 USD, street price. :eek:

:( still can't find this shoe in Singapore so get myself a pair of 98MX on Sunday.

Dink, does SGVBC have the SHB 100s in stock? If so, do they have a good amount?

Dink, does SGVBC have the SHB 100s in stock? If so, do they have a good amount?

Yep, SGVBC has plenty in stock. It's not cheap though, $110 USD.

A few asked me to post images of the 99 and 100 side by side to compare the differences. A few even questioned whether or not I actually had the shoe. :eek::confused:

Just because you could not obtain the shoe, doesn't mean all others are in the same boat. I hope through the images below, you now believe I actually have the 100s. :p

How do we know you are really you ? Maybe someone else has the shoes and he is pretending to be you ?

Instead of the 100, I have just order the SHB79WMD as the platform for my FeetTec V2.0 implemtation. I had a recent negative experience of buying shoes that were too narrow. So I won't take my chances with the 100 mid top.

Put side by side, I find the SHB-99 to be better looking.... but I can't want to give the SHB-100 a try. My current Adidas shoes have no grip and I can only imagine what having grip will do to my game :D

anything different about the technology, it just looks like the 99 with different colours.
It is a completly new shoe different matrerials different design new technology everything is different but the bad thing is the LTD's aren't out until SEPTEMBER!!!! but MX is out now and up £5:(

Is the SHB-100 lighter than the SHB 98 any ideas ?

i doubt it.
the 99's had a lot more material than the 98s, and now the 100s seem to have a ton more material than the 99s.

so therefore logically, the 100s cannot weight less than the 98s.

98 should be lightest of the yonex highends. That's why TH and LD have been using it for a long while.

Logic doesn't always work as I feel the 100s are lighter than the 99s. :p

They are comparable to the 98 but then again, I haven't worn 98s in a long time.

are all the 100's made of the same stuff as the silver 99's?

i thought only the gold 100's were equivalent of the silver 99's...
and that the red and blue 100s were still the same old material as every other shoe (normal 99s, 98s, 89s, etc.)

If we were to use logic, 79's must be the lightest of them all cos they have "Feather Light" printed on them. When mine finally arrives, I will be adding some serious weights to it.

I was looking for a dark blue trim for the Mens version of the shoe.

Oh well, I guess red trim it is. :D

I have gotten my SHB100-LTD today. It is made of very high quality. Very light but stayble and provides very good cushionning. Gripping seems not as good as 99LTD, yet still sufficient and thus higher mobility.

Hmmmmmm, I find the grip better on the 100s. Oh well, to each his own. :)

Could someone please describe the difference between SHB100M and SHB100LTD apart from the colour scheme. The LTD's cost more and wondered if the difference justifies the price.

I'm interested in finding out as well. I may just get a pair to find out. :)

I havn't worn any of those two shoes, but from looking at it, and touching it, the shb100 LTD is made of better materials, for example, the LTD has mesh on the top of the shoes(where you tie your shoe lace) where as the MX is just big and puffy like any running shoes. Correct me if im wrong anyone, don't want to pass invalid information out.

Based on the 99-MX and 99-LE, having quite a few pairs of both the MX and LE, the MX was more durable while the LE was more comfortable and allowed for more room.

Back to the 100s, my 100-MXs are similar to my 99-MXs; the material is stiffer (it's probably more durable than my 99-MXs). So stiff that my SuperFeet Green don't match well with the shoe. I ordered a pair of softer SuperFeet Blue to see if it will match better.

So far, going back and forth among the 99-MX, 99-LE and 100-MX (all with Super Feet Green), I prefer the 99-LE then 99-MX, then 100-MX. Hopefully with the Super Feet Blue, the 100-MX will move up.

Do you find the 100s give you some blisters at the heels? I could be just not tying the laces tight enough. :(

No, but my heels hurts more when I wear the 100s. I believe it's the 100s being more rigid, which is good for transitioning but not so much for comfort, and then I added the Super Feet Green (which are stiff), not so great of a combination. The Green work great on both 99s because the shoe is significantly less rigid.

I should have the Super Feet Blue on Monday...

I found my feet to be super tired the first night I used them last night at George Brown (where DarthHowie plays :D). Hopefully I can head over to Lee's tonight to break them in some more. I'm going to put in my orthodics this time around, which makes the entire foot sit higher in the shoe, and see what happens.

Hopefully with the Super Feet Blue, the 100-MX will move up.
i found the yonex shoes worked a lot better with the blue superfeet rather than the green ones, overall.
granted i'm a lot smaller of a guy than you, (you're easily 100lbs heavier, based on previous posts!) the blue ones may support me better than you.

however, the green ones, felt too thick and didn't feel as comfortable as the blue ones felt.

the green ones feel great however in walking and casual shoes.

let us all know how the blues feel with the 100mx!

I found my feet to be super tired the first night I used them last night at George Brown (where DarthHowie plays :D). Hopefully I can head over to Lee's tonight to break them in some more. I'm going to put in my orthodics this time around, which makes the entire foot sit higher in the shoe, and see what happens.

After trying it out tonight at Lee's, I find that my orthodics shift around my shoes a bit when playing. It could be that the shoes are a little wider than the orthodics which is why they are shifting. I'm getting a new pair in around a week so I'll take another look into it. :D

Finally decided to retire my 8 year old SHB-92's that I've pretty much flattened the "power cushion" LOL Just picked up a pair of SHB-100LE (gold) today for $149.99 CAD funny thing is that whenever I go out to pick shoes, I try not to read reviews and just try them all out~!

I was pretty much going to go for the SHB-90 since they were on sale, but then dediced what the heck, try on the SHB-100 and after trying it on just from standing, you can feel the added side stability as well as the honey comb padding matrix added unique comfort~ Just from trying them on once, they definately feel different from the old yonex shoes in my opinion. Won't know how they'll perform until I'm actually on the courts, but hey, just go to the store and try on a pair! I had to sacrifice my Armortech 900P funds for these, but I think it's worth it!

Update: received the Super Feet Blue today and put them in my SHB100 MXs and they are a much better fit than the Greens.

I played a game against Coach Ying and got run around like crazy. After all was said and done, my feet didn't hurt at all, nor did my heel. I'll do more testing but so far, it looks like Blue with the 100s = winner!

there is one problem with the blue superfeet and yonex shoes though.
the plastic ridges at the bottom will begin to cut through the material on the surface of the inner sole covering.

heres some photos of three different pairs of shb98s, in various stages of use.

Good observation. I just put a couple of pieces of athletic tape on the edges and that minimizes the problem. :)

the tape will have to be replaced quite often.
i tried it with hockey tape at first, and it simply cut through it pretty easily.

the insole however, slid a bit easier with the tape than without.
this was after i had cut the top so there was about 1.5mm of free-play movement (as suggested by superfeet).
perhaps if it is snugger, it might work out better!

hi guys.. just wondering if you know when the shb-100LE and shb-100M will be released in the phillipines?? thanks...

What do Kuraster and Florissimo mean?

Does anybody know if the SHB100 LTD (gold ones) are supposed to be wider than the SHB100 (red)? I'm looking for a wider pair of shoes. I know the SHB99 LE's are wider, but the colour scheme is a little too much for me. I prefer the modest look on the SHB100 LTD's much more.

My friend just wore his SHB100 LTD he side it's wider than the 99m that's all I know or you could ask a dealer.

The LTD is wider than the regular at least in the front section of the shoe. The regular model's front toe section is also more sloped toward the outsides. I'll try to show with some ASCII:

This is a big extreme but you'll get the idea. From viewing straight from the front
Regular: /---\
LTD: |---|

I've got wider feet and I have the SHB99-MX and I tried the same size in both the SHB100 and the 100 LTD. The LTD is definitely the best for me.

Now we have 3 SHB100's in your group!

(Stupid question)
-Are the gold shb-100 shoes youst for men?
thanks ;)

Thanks that helps! ;)

exactly ....what does it mean? anybody?....

What do Kuraster and Florissimo mean?

I think Im going to buy the womens version next week ,because the sell them in Spain from Portugal.Do you think then that the shb-100 are better than the 99?

I would say SHB100 is more fashionable than the 99. :D

exactly ....what does it mean? anybody?....
they are a new material which is stronger and smoother and more comfortable at the same time it is a more expensive material which is the reason why the ltd's are more expensive

I think Im going to buy the womens version next week ,because the sell them in Spain from Portugal.Do you think then that the shb-100 are better than the 99? IMO, SHB100L is way worse than both LTD and M. The material is of worse quality.

I know of a girl, who currently plays for Uni team. She used to wear 99's, however, she needed new shoes and tried out the 100's, which she really didn't like. She said that something about an arch in the shoe was really painful on her feet (so don't buy it if yo have flat feet I assume).

She got a pair of 56's instead, which is a great, economical shoe.

just received my Shb 100 ltd 27.0cm.

first impressions putting it on, the size and cutting is similar to my retired shb-68ex. Found initial discomfort putting it on and a slight pain in my right forefoot near Mr. Big toe. i think the material is still very rigid. I had this initial discomfort with my 68ex as well, time will mould it hehehe..

i compared it to my Mizuno Wave Smash S2. The Yonex feels like it has more cushioning but the Mizuno's are a lot lighter. The materials on the Mizuno's are much softer. I hope this means that the Yonex is built to last longer compared to the Mizuno's.

All in all, can't wait for my next baddy session to give the Shb 100ltd a workout. I am prepared for the pain already ahahaha

p/s i wear 26.5cm on my mizuno's and i can confirm that the Yonex are narrower than mizuno's. so if anybody is deciding in changing between brands remember to take 0.5 cm off on your mizuno's compared to the yonex's

didnt really caught my attention..

after comparing it wib mi shb 99...i felt tat..shb100 has a sort of feeling which makes you feel elevated, oso the cushioning feels beta

Just got my SHB-100 ltd after a lengthy wait. After a couple of games wearing it, I could say based from my experience,it's an improved version of the SHB-99 MX. It's much more comfortable and lighter,even though there is that initial discomfort along the toe area, it soon went away as the shoe material began to soften a little. :)

I have a pair of SHB99's and SHB98's I switch back and forth from. Both feel about the same to me.

I borrowed a pair of SHB100's for a tournament and I was in love. It felt very rigid, like I would bet some money that if you make a bad landing there's a 20% chance this thing could save an ankle that the SHB99's can't. I also felt like I was a little elevated off the ground. Suprisingly, I was right at home, the extra stability did not seem to sacrfice any maneuverability. As for weight, I didn't really feel any difference to be honest.

Shb-100's initially made one of my feet hurt like hell... after breaking them in, that problem has been solved! If your feet hurt when you go ice skating or rollerblading, you might feel that same type of pain! Loosen the laces that pull on the lateral tabs if you experience some discomfort!

the design of the shoe makes it look weird from the top. comparing the 99mx to the 100m, the 99 would look better worn out in public, but if ur never going to do that, it just depends on which one you perform better with, and they are a load different.

IMO, SHB100L is way worse than both LTD and M. The material is of worse quality.what?! have you even seen and touched the shoes? the M and L are identical in materials. the only difference is the color and shape! the LTD is different from the M and L however.

Hmm are sure that it is the different cause i think it should be the same just that one is limited edition and the other is not.

It should feel the same? am i right

No Blurry. The LTD's have a spiky/tacky insole to prevent sliding. Also the tongue is more breathable.

It has also been stated that the LTD's are wider at the toe area although from looking at them it doesn't seem that way. I will find out soon as I will definitely be obtaining a pair in the near future.

FYI, SHB100-LTD is out of freaking stock for the rest of the year from Yonex USA. DAMN!!! I have other 4 letter words I can not use here.

hey hey... just got my shb-100 LE, my dad sent it over from hong kong... and i have to say that i love it.. its just comfortable for me... and i like the design

For those who bought the shb 100 mx, how was the sizing? how much did you have to change from you say adidas and nike shoes?

Any one know if the 100 model is available in Indonesia as i have a friend going there next week.

Just got the SHB-100Ltd's yesterday. Awsome shoes, great grip, and a special insole (my first pair of yonex, never had anything like it)!! But they are indeed rather wide at the front. I can absolutely recommend them to any one:).

Cheers

What size did you get? My 100LTDs are narrow in front relative to the 100MX.

yes, it's already available

What size did you get? My 100LTDs are narrow in front relative to the 100MX.


European size 42.

Size eur.39
Uk 6

What is the smallest size on the Limited Edition?

I think, Eu 40.

Does it have 22.5 cm on the Limited Edition?

Does it have 22.5 cm on the Limited Edition?

dont think so. I think 24.5 is the smallest

actually 22-23cm is the smallest.
but availability will be the issue, not whether they're made or not! :)

but availability will be the issue, not whether they're made or not! :)what i mean smallest that is AVAILABLE

Just if anyone is curious about the difference between SHB-100MX and SHB-100 LTD edition, i had tried them on today:

-LTD is more comfortable most notably the material that is used on the tongue which give a very comfortable arch. Same feeling to the SHB-99LTD one. SHB-100MX has a very foamy tongue that is like most of the skateboarders shoes. However, both SHB-100 has a narrower front which does not suit me very much. My trial was slightly different from DinkAlot's experience, I felt that SHB-100LTD is a fraction less narrow compared to the SHB-100MX.

**just my tiny experience from trying SHB-100MX, SHB-100LTD and SHB-99LTD which i ended up getting the 99LTD because of the comfort of a wider front for my toes to fit in.** feel free to commend on this**

**just my tiny experience from trying SHB-100MX, SHB-100LTD and SHB-99LTD which i ended up getting the 99LTD because of the comfort of a wider front for my toes to fit in.** feel free to commend on this**

Yes, the 99-LTD is more comfortable than the 100s but the 100s perform far better.


Assuming all shoes are broken in, with appropriate SuperFeet insole:

For comfort:
99LTD: Excellent
100LTD: Good+

For traction:
99LTD: Good+
100LTD: Excellent

For transitioning/movement:
99LTD: Good
100LTD: Excellent

For stability:
99LTD: Good
100LTD: Excellent

For cushioning:
99LTD: Good
100LTD: Good-

would shb100(regular) be similar to 100 LTD except that 100LTD is just lighter?

would shb100(regular) be similar to 100 LTD except that 100LTD is just lighter?

OK, 100LTD vs. 100MX...

+100LTD a bit lighter but not significant.

+100LTD a bit more comfortable as (Schuweiz stated) but not too significant.

+Widths, after breaking each shoe in for 2+ months, the width is about the same with the 100MX being a bit wider but not too significant.

Conclusion: there are minimal differences. If you get either 100s with SF Blue, you will have the optimum badminton shoe. :)

Anybody know where I can get some 100 MX or LTD for size 12 US feet. I have the same problem as Mr Panda (big feet, not broken racquets).

Got my pair of SHB-100 MX this week. the shoes are amazing, great comfort and amazing grip.

hi..DinkAlot..i need yr opinion..i have a pair of shb99 LE..i bought last year in Malaysia..size 26.5..my previous shb89 was also 26.5..today i just bought a pair of shb 100LE in M'sia also..BUT size 27..i just curious as i tried size 26.5 on shb100 it feels quite snug fit compare to my shb99 when i first bought it..i know this shoes take a small period of time to break-in..my question should i mantain size 26.5 or take size 27..i know we need a least half n inch for all shoes..yr opinion will be a great help to me..thanks in advance n cheers..

Super Kid: the 100LEs will only stretch a bit more, not too much. It's your call, I cannot say in this case.

i think the SHB-100LTD is somehow tighter compared to SHB-99LTD. Not a bad idea to try out the 0.5 size greater one. I used to wear size 9 for my previous yonex shoes (i'll check the model but i do not have it with me during this post), but when i bought the 99LTD the other day, i had to get size 10 :eek:.... in conclusion, go try it yourself, you'll get a better fitting because all shoes comes with different cutting and sizes is relatively vague sometimes.

DinkAlot thanks a lot..u have a great day

DinkAlot..i decided to change my shb100LE to size 26.5 this morning..wore it during my badminton session today..beginning it was quite snug fit..after 3rd game i can feel it has break-in a little bit..it fit slightly better than the 1st game..i hope after a few more session the shoe wil just fit comfortably for me..to all who is interested to get this shoe..like a lot of other ppl good opinions in this forum..it's best u try it out the shoe fitting b4 u purchase it..cheers..thanks for yr opinion again..

check the video...is this for real?the egg didnt break after falling 6 meters up and bouncing 3 meters high???
you mean If I jump 6 meters from above, wearing shb100 it wont break any bones of my leg,feet and bouncing off 3 meters high?????

It's a bit exaggerated imo. Plus why would you care if you jumped 6m?? One reason is because I don't think ANYONE can jump 6 meters. A shoe is a shoe.

am just kidding! I took it literally what they mean hahaha!If thats for real,that shoes will be selling like hotcakes right now,imagine seeing people wearing that shoes playing bouncing in every badminton courts just like watching samurai movies with lots of flying ninjas!:D

it just good for landing after jumping...which is suitable for players who had a serious injury before.

well i just ordered a pair of SHB100MX and i will break in the shoe and play with it with the stock insole for now, but does SF blue really make a huge difference? is the 35$ + shipping (i have to buy it online) worth it? what is the difference in terms of stiffness and comfort? maybe do like a shale from 1 to 10. thanks a lot

according to the person who owns a badminton shop here, he said the stock insole is good and soft enough. it's more developed compare to shb 98

Yes, SF Blue makes a signficant difference, at least for me. I will not wear badminton shoes without Super Feet insoles. :p

k then i'll wait for my shoes to come, how long does it take to break-in a pair of SHB100MX approx?

I have the SHB 100MX, best shoes so far!, better than the asics gel rocket 2...

Yes, SF Blue makes a signficant difference, at least for me. I will not wear badminton shoes without Super Feet insoles. :p

SF are good but they colour my white socks lol. SFG=Green socks =(

LoL white socks don't stay white for very long no matter what. Good detergent and cleaners help. That's why I like the socks with the thicker grey bottoms.

I've been using the SHB100LTD for a while. SHB100's are in general extremely comfortable. I loved the SHB98's but these really blow it out of the water for me.

To compare the MX and LTD:

Comfort is about the same. The LTD's fit better for me. I have wide feet. The MX's felt a little cramped.

If you don't plan to use SF insoles, the LTD insoles have ridges. I have never tried playing with them, but they should help if your feet are sliding in the shoe, the downside is some may find it awkward and uncomfortable as I first did, which is why I never gave them a fair chance.

The biggest difference for me is the tongue of the shoes. I'm not exactly sure why the LTD models always have that thin mesh tongue while the MX's have the thick foamy one. I like the thick foamy ones found on the SHB99's and MX's. I loved the tongue on my regular SHB99's. The silver outlined with red looked very clean. The SHB100 MX's have a bright red one with silver outline which makes it look like something for a kid. Kinda like the AT700 old colour vs the new colour, is this the current trend from Yonex? Make everything BLING and FLASHY? Anyway I like the mesh because I do feel that they make the shoes more breathable which keeps my feet cooler, less sweaty, less smelly and it all leads to much comfort for me and everyone around. What I don't like about the LTD's tongue, is that it connects all the way down to the sole of the shoe. When I'm off the court, I like to loosen my laces to help cool off, and because after a game my feet swell a little. With the LTD's, loosening the laces does nothing because the tongue is still pressuring your foot.

Stock insoles get flat really fast(Im around 135lbs), so there is not much support/cushion when its flat. If you feel that you need more support or cushion you should get a better insole. I find the FLAT yonex insole good enough for me, so im sticking with it.

SHB-100 Limited
Upper: Florissimo, Double Russell Mesh, Kuraster
Midsole: Super msLite, Power Cushion, T.P.U., Solid E.V.A.
Outsole: Rubber
Colour: Gold

SHB-100 M or MX (Metallic Red, for men) and SHB-100L (Aqua Blue, for ladies) share the same midsole and outsole materials as, but have very different Upper materials from, SHB-100 Limited. The huge price difference between the SHB-100 LTD version and the other two SHB-100 is in the Uppers.

is shb 100mid avail in Singapore?

yes it is available, check out at classic sports, gala sports or sintec sports shop.

how much is it roughly? i dont want to die of heart attack

the only rant for me about shb100 is the original insole has the wave pattern
on the surface, i was told it provide more traction inorder to keep the foot in one place.. however i found it rather effective in giving me more blister instead

Any know is there is different between the
JP version of the 100 and the 100 Ltds ?

They both available, but JP version cost more..:confused:

Worth the different is $$$ (US$12)

the jp ones are made with "verycool" materials somewhere in the shoes.
i don't know where, but i don't feel a difference wearing my jp market 65r's compared to my canadian market 98's nor hk market 98's.

i say jp market shoes are a pass.

The SHB-100 in Japan is the SHB-100 LTD outside of Japan.

Note: "VeryCool" is used in the clothing line for materials and is not applicable to the shoes.

verycool is very well applicable to shoes, and IS used in shoes. just go check the yonex japan site and catalogs.

verycool is very well applicable to shoes, and IS used in shoes. just go check the yonex japan site and catalogs.

Ok then where is the VeryCool label/logo on the catalog of the shoe on page 74 where the SHB-100 is?

its probably not your native language.
thats why you can't find it. but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

edit:
you'll also see in the third image regarding the verycool ladies shirt, the composition of the materials in various parts of the shirt.

edit #2:
do you want photos of the verycool stickers inside the 65r's that i ordered?
how about the tags that were on the shoes?
do they have to be accompanied with shuttle-house packaging slips?

ROFL don't be that silly. Of course it's not my native that's why I questioned it.

I would of expect the logo would be there so it can identified easily. I also had it confirmed by a friend who can also read Japanese.

Anyways I bought VeryCool shirts from SH before anyways. As a matter of fact, my SHB-100 should be arrive this week from them as well.

i'm just thinking its very scarcely used in the shoe, so they didn't bother putting huge "verycool" cloud logos all over the shoe or the catalogs.
as i mentioned in another thread, i'm guessing its only part of some peice of the liner somewhere. it'd be rediculous to put it anywhere else.

the wierd thing is that the verycool sticker was on the insole... so is it on the insole? if it is, i've removed the verycool part of my 65r's and have never used it.

you'll see what i mean when your shoes arrive.

the verycool in the shirts make a difference, but the shoes? none (to me, at least)

and japanese isn't my native language either.
i was just very thorough in my research. something i recall you're quite diligent in yourself, from other posts.

Since this is will be the very first pair of Yonex shoes I will be owning, I would not have another Yonex shoe to compare ot too. Maybe I should borrow someone's SHB-100 (same size) purchased locally and try one on and find out.

I would probably assume it is on the insole then in that case. Most likely I won't remove it.

Sounds a bit expensive. I have no trouble getting SHB 100 Ltd for HK$660 and both SHB 100 MX or M or SHB 100 L for HK$460. SHB 99 Ltd goes for HK$650. I am thinking of selling my SHB 100 Ltd, size 26.5cm (used for less than 3 hours) because I can get comparable ones that, to me, play better and at a much cheaper price. Problem is I have sent the insoles to my Podiatrist in KL to have a custom pair of orthotics made, based on the cast/mold I left with him.

I am thinking of selling my SHB 100 Ltd, size 26.5cm (used for less than 3 hours) because I can get comparable ones that, to me, play better and at a much cheaper price. Problem is I have sent the insoles to my Podiatrist in KL to have a custom pair of orthotics made, based on the cast/mold I left with him.
..hmm, yeah, it's a bit pricey. BUT, again, the price i mentioned is off the top off my memory; it's most likely not accurate as i don't recall the exact price.:p The price could be a bit lower than that, though....so, gotta call/check with them first..;):cool:

Since this is will be the very first pair of Yonex shoes I will be owning, I would not have another Yonex shoe to compare ot too. Maybe I should borrow someone's SHB-100 (same size) purchased locally and try one on and find out.

I would probably assume it is on the insole then in that case. Most likely I won't remove it.

matt..you are right regarding the very cool material for jp shb100..it's the insole top lining material that are very cool..it's just a sticker indicating it's very cool as i just bought a pair of shb99 for my friend from narita two months ago..

its probably not your native language.
thats why you can't find it. but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

edit:
you'll also see in the third image regarding the verycool ladies shirt, the composition of the materials in various parts of the shirt.

edit #2:
do you want photos of the verycool stickers inside the 65r's that i ordered?
how about the tags that were on the shoes?
do they have to be accompanied with shuttle-house packaging slips?

chickenpoodle..you are very right..all jp yonex shoes especially top range carry very cool material lining on the insole..it's just a sticker indicating it..

Maybe chickenpoodle should put it back on his shoes! then it will be really "Very Cool" ahahah!!

The real improvement on the SHB 100 series of Yonex shoes is, for the first time, designed more for efficient movement on the badminton court.
First as in all badminton shoes the toe box must be wide-Yonex calls it the Egoshape-essential for sideways court movements. Second are the changes along the intersections, at appropriate places, between the bottom sole and the top.
When a player moves forward the foot strikes the court firmly, rolling outward in what is called supination. The foot then rolls in to adapt to the contours of the floor; this is called pronation.
Now take a look at the sole of the SHB 100. You will see the bottom sole going upwards at the bottom sole/top intersections at these points that are used for supination and pronation. The outer side of the shoe has a stiff 90% intersection between the bottom sole and top-this is to prevent your foot from rolling outwards and together with the "higher" bottom sole on the inside (media) of the shoe helps you to propel forward when your foot rolls in for that pronation.

I would recomend you a Podiatrist in Australia. The material is good. Even better than those i find in Malaysia.

Ants, a podiatrist is an expert in treating foot, ankle and lower extremity problems. The one I saw in KL was a South African who charged me an arm and a leg (xrays of my knees and feet, biomechanical examintions, several consultations, casts/molds, etc); it all adds up to about Ringgit 1,000.
His custom made orthotics are much better than the one I got in Hong Kong. All custom made orthotics use the same materials, which are usually good for 4 years. These orthotics are tailor-made using the pair of cast/mold fabricated from my feet.
I can of course send my foot mold/cast to any podiatrist to have a new orthotics made, but my cast/mold of my two feet weighs about 5 kilos and they are hard as rock.

The Australian Podiatrist that i went is good. The materials that they use are also good. From what i know.. they are using a lightweight space material.. dono what kind of scientific name. They are using the same method that u mentioned about the cast and mold. It cost me around AUD$300 plus to make. I did find some podiatrist in Msia.. dont really like them. But i have not heard of the South African that u mentioned. But of course i didnt go to Aust to make. That guy flew from Aust to Msia. And i had the fabricated cast/mold made in Aust.

Ants, make sure you keep the mold/cast It will then probably cost you less than half the price to have another pair of orthotics made. I plan to have at least two pairs, one for walking and the other for indoor sports.
Usually podiatrists are qualified or they should be qualified. There are a few outfits in Malaysia that make custom-made orthotics but many of them are not real podiatrists. To be sure look for their certification. American podiatrists are the safest bet because they must have qualified as a DPM (Doctor of Podiatic Medicine) and be registered.
Orthotics are custom-made shoe insoles which prevent abnormal foot motion and encourage the foot muscles and tendons to perform more efficiently. A correct biomechanical examination and diagnosis, with assistance from x-rays, are more important than the materials used to make the orthotics. The most hi-tech materials, wrongly prescribed, orthotics are useless and will do more harm.

Thanks for the reminder Eepak. Will take note of that. :)

Hi new here.

I tried the SHB100 in Ltd and Ladies Blue in California, USA in Sept 1007:
I. Differences:
1. color scheme
2. silver writing on the shoe ie Limited (gold color scheme) versus ladies (red color scheme) and men (red color scheme).
3. insole: ribbed texture which I love in the Ltd versus smooth in blue (ladies)
4. tongue : thin un-padded in Ltd versus padded in blue
5. Ltd feel cooler and lighter
6. Ltd is tighter fit than blue so my Eur 39 (blue) fits like the EUR 38 (blue) in internal height. the length is correct in that 39 is longer thna 38.
7. Ltd has black nylon shoe bag, blue & red do not have it.

I ended up buying the Ltd for $10 more and it was the ribbed insole and cooler ventiliation that sold the shoe to me.

I would prefer it to be red color scheme since I am not a gold person, but I figured that this is not about fashion statement and if I sprained my ankle my physical therapy co-pay will easily buy several of these shoes. To me, it is a safety investment.

Shoe felt thinner than a tennis court shoe but the level of lateral support when I pretend to lean my left body, thigh, knee pass my outside left ankle is very impressive. It kept my foot stuck to the ground. Ditto for fast braking.

lol sweetie it's ok xD we all know xD

I tried SHB-100 with Super Feet Green on Wednesday night. The shoes are darn good! I have one with the shoes :D.

I just got my shb 100 an di tried it out a bit, i ran for abit and the right side of my food started to hurt. i dont know why. Maybe i just aint used to it because this is my first yonex shoe. im not sure could maybe help me out.

Are you using the Yonex OEM insoles? Do you have custom orthos in your shoes? Also could be because the shoes are quite new and they need some breaking in.

one of my friends (bc member - aheng) had the same problem. the pain was gone after he wore the pair of shoes for a while. would reckon the shb100 need some 'breaking-in'.

thank you guys.

I just want to bring up a suggestion.
After you buy a pair of new shoes, do not wear it on the court right away. Please try it on at home. Wear it for an hr or 2 at home. Walk on carpet or what ever clean surface. This way, in case you feel the pain or unconformable after that, you still have a good chance to exchange for a different size. Also, that give you at lease 1 or 2 hr of break in time.

Do as Great GrandMaster SH suggested. Take the new pair of shoes for a walk around in your house or office (clean environment) for a couple of hours at least. Then use them for actual training and games.

I have the same problem with you. Its actually the right side of my pinky toes. Somehow it feels like there is tight friction causing it although I think it is a correct fit for me.

Just wanted to chime in and add that these shoes are completely worth it, definitely the best investment I ever made that improved my game. I bought the SHB-100 LTDs (old style, with the gold and silver) and I wasn't too impressed when I wore them the first time because there wasn't sufficient cushioning. I bought them in lieu of the Adidas Stabil 7s and after, I went back to my old baddie shoes because they were comfier.

I was thinking about adding Super Feet Green but I discovered something even better: Gel insoles! Gel insoles provided that extra cushioning that the shoes needed to make them go from good shoes to GREAT shoes. Plus, they don't rip up the insides of your shoe which is another plus.

The lateral support on this shoe is perfect. I used to wear ankle braces because I was prone to twisting/spraining my ankle but with these shoes, I haven't needed my braces because the chances of rolling my ankle are much less with the grip and lateral claws of the shoe. Awesome.

I am using the insoles that come with the shoe they say power cushion on them.

I am interested in buying the SHB-100 LTD (Gold) 2008. My shoe size is 7 (US women's size). I am just wondering if the SHB 1-- LTD is "unisex". What do you think about this shoes? Also, they say whenever you buy Yonex shoes, you need to get 1/2 inch bigger than your normal shoe size. Is that right? Thanks in advance! :)

Don't go by what others say when purchasing shoes, always go and try them on before buying. For myself, I didn't have to move up or down any shoe sizes for my Yonex SHB-100 shoes.

I am interested to but the SHB 100 LTD (gold). I am a size 7 (US women). Would you advise this shoes for women? If not, what shoes would you recommend? Also, I read from afew that when you buy YOnex shoes, it would be betther to get 1/2 inch bigger than your regulard shoes size. Is that correct? Thanks in advance!! :)

Does anyone know where i can buy the SHB-100MX in size 13US online?

Yes, if you are a advanced and serious player who want the little advantage over your old shoes. Man or woman, it is the best badminton shoes out there.
However, if you ask me, is it worth it for the extra $10~$15 from SHB100-LX, it is a very tough decision. If you never tried SHB100-LX, then no, because you have no base line to compare it with. If you tried SHB99-LX or SHB100-LX, then I will suggest to try out SHB100-LTD because it is a little better than SHB100-LX and you need to try it out to see if it is worth it or not.
NO!, not half inch!!!! Depend on your foot shape. For me, I actually feel SHB100-LX men's size 7.5 is perfect for me because I have narrow feet. However, if you have wide feet, SHB100-MX might fit you better for a woman with wider feet. If you have a chance, do try out Addida's shoes. They are very similar is the shoe shape and size in case you can not try out a pair of Yonex shoes.

Good luck.

The first 2 days i wore these shoes they had really good grip to the ground but now they just dont have much grip i have to keep wiping the bottoms with my hand after every rally to get some grip., do you guys have any suggestions on what i should do.

Have a damp towel beside the court, and stop on it whenever you want to hydrate the soles to increase the traction.. :)

Just wash the soles before you use each time.

Dont the shoes get wrecked if they are wet at the bottom.

Nope, they don't hurt. Just use a damp cloth or something to clean them.

Now if you soak your shoes, it probably would get wrecked!

i wash my shb many times, they're still fine

If you want to clean the soles good then get a scrubber and rub them with water.

ok thank you everybody
