Hello, i'm having some issues with my new pair of shoes that i bought a few hours ago.
Yes i have put it on and walked at home for 10 mins+ but i still feel that only these certain part of my feet (for the left foot, its at the right middle part) (for the right foot its at the left middle part) feel UNCOMFORTABLE.
This could be because the back part of my feet is too wide and the sole cannot accomodate to it.
So i feel like as if the soles are pushing/touching those parts when i wear them and it really feels uncomfortable as if my feet arn't in perfect fit.. After wearing awhile it slightly hurts at the sides and i'm a bit dissappointed with the size i took (still, the shoes are excellent!)

I'm wondering whether i should change the size of the shoe 1 size larger (my size is 10US currently) so that the middle part of my feet will fit into the shoe/sole comfortably. Please give me your advise :D
(I have read other forums about this shoe and to give an hour or two, 'trial' to really see if the shoe fits. Every part of my feet fits in perfectly, it's just the sides that feel very uncomfortable)

just curious are you flat footed? heres a link to a thread in this form on flat footedness incase your not sure what it is. but that could be an answer to why the inside parts of yoru feet are hurting well my best guess anyways.

I think you need to break into the shoes first.

Part of it might just be your foot shape compared to the shoe shape. I tried a pair of 100LTD and it felt like torture around the sides. A normal 99 pinches in around the lateral claw. The 99LTD fits me nearly perfectly and didn't require any break-in.

Different feet, different models and shapes.

Hii,
I do have 1 of those, I already wear it for about half a year and still use it.
And about discomfort let me tell you my story.
Previously I always use Nike Basketball shoes, it heavier but very comfort to wear.
(Could you image first time I play Badminton I dress like gonna play Basket ball and my racket was a Prince which have a weird shape of Badminton racket, I was so newbie that time) :o

I bought it from Singapore.
Soon when I got back to Indonesia I wear it right away and play.
First day I use it my right foot (right only) feel hurt and after 1.5 hours my right foot got swollen. 2 days after I am not use it, coz I am afraid it getting worse. I do really regret to bought it. But a week later I start to use it again, now my foot is OK but I got discomfort on the back. I usually feel back pain if my shoes is not good. So I stop using it again for a week. But after that I keep use it without any discomfort until today.

I did something but I think you may think I am stupid :mad:
This is my local myth about 1 thing to do before wearing a new shoes.
You may wanna try to do this myth or not is up to u :cool:
BITE YOUR NEW SHOES! 1 BITE EACH SHOES.
A LOCAL MYTH SAY BITE YOUR SHOES BEFORE IT BITE YOU!;)
I did this and my shoes wont hurt my anymore.;)

Gratifi3d, do you wear thick badminton socks?

Some of the folks here in Singapore do practise this :)

YUCK. Why would you bite your shoe? Do you people have no hygiene.

Thank you guys for your opinions, well i think i'm not really that flat footed maybe a bit. I might be going down this afternoon to exchange the pair of shoes for a size bigger.

Sealman: No i'm not haha my socks are about 3mm thick?

there's a saying in chinese
"rather believe in a thousand, than to risk one"

nobody is forcing you to do that if you dont want to.

We singaporeans have a high level of hygiene and living standards if you do not know. :cool:

THank Goodness.. I though I am the only weirdo here :D
Bite your shoe bro.. I think I should email this to Adam And Jemie for their myth buster series.. lol :D

Thanks guys for your advises and opinions. Sadly though, the shop which i bought the shoe from didn't have a larger size than mine. Well, i guess i'll just have to use that pair of shoes (yes it does fit perfectly) since it's quite expensive :o

Also, after 30-60 mins of playing badminton, the discomfort didn't seem to ring in mind. Maybe i just forgot about the little discomfort or the sides of the shoe really stretched after vigorous footwork.

Mate.. do the bite when you just bought new the shoes..
Not everytime you wear it.. Do it man.. just like Nike always told me "JUST DO IT" :cool:

Do you even know what happened in the factory when they made the shoe?

They are hand made by people.

Yoikssssss...... Really???????
Man I could never imagine their hand after scraching their certain area or the sweat.. :( Yuckss

Also the chemicals they use to make the shoes. You have no idea what they use to make them

Hahaha you guys are exaggerating shoemakers too much.

My SHB-100LTD now fits my foot almost perfectly, i guess it really stretched after a 2-3 days :D

Have you bite it?

I've been using the SHB-100 Limited Edition for a while now.
They were an extremely comfortable fit right from Day One.

They didn't bite my feet at all.
And, no, I didn't bite them either :p

I slip them on at least 15 minutes before my game.
However, I tie the laces only just before warmup.
Also, I tie them a bit loose - and, when my feet have swollen a bit after the first game or more, they provide a very snug fit.

By the way, you could avoid shoe-bite by using thick but snugly-fitting cotton socks :)

when I try the SHB-100LTD on, I found them actually a bit smaller for the size, I normally wear 27cm, but I feel that I need 27.5cm for this model. I'm not sure if I should just buy 27cm hoping they will stretch out after few days, Can you guys give any opinion on this?
