im hoping some people can comment on the shb 90 and 98 thanks!!

I currently have a pair of 98's and love them over the 99's. I did have a pair of 99's but sold them because I didn't like the cushioning as much on the 99 compared to me 98's. Personal preference I suppose.

Plus, they look better :D

Can't really comment on the 90's, but a few people I know that has them say they are very comfortable.

I haven't try the 99 or 98. But I do own a SHB-90, in my opinion an excellent badminton shoe.

Pros: very cool for sweaty feet. I find this shoe to be very well ventilated with the double russel mesh. It feels very comfortable to wear. It's also very well cushioned where I can hardly feel the impact after landing from a jump smash or a scissor kick. It forces you to stand on the balls of your feet instead on the heels because of the 'higher' heels.

Cons: The heel is a bit high for a badminton shoe. Moving laterally is a bit slow...lacking the newer lateral crawl technology. Sole rubber markings a bit fragile.

I also wear SHB-90 M and I like them very much.

I had being wearing a shb 98 for over 2 yrs already.. i really love that pair.. it's very good looking and durable.. i like the cushioning as well especially for a heavyweight like me.. but althought i bought a shb 99 ltd and shb 99 low, i still prefer the shb 98 alot in terms of wearing it while playing.. but too bad it's no longer in production.. miss it a lot tho.. The action that we use to have last time together.. i wear my the other 2 shb nowadays for playing.. not the 98.. heartpain nia..

i heard the 99 has lesser cushioning and support on the ankle area.has any1 felt this impact?or the lesser cushioning on the 98 doesn't affect you at all.

?? So, what's wrong with SHB-100 :confused:

/T

i have the 90M, 99Ltd and the 89MX. among all i prefer the 99Ltd the most. 90M second. Tried the 98, so narrow for my foot. So, best is for u to go and try out till you get one that you feel comfortable with.

At the end of the day, we all can say each one has their own personal preference.. right?
