:) Just arrived this morning from Osaka ...

Yonex SHB-65CF, 27.5cm 3E

http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/ee126/apis4/SHB-65CFa.jpg

The sole appears to be the same as the SHB-91 and looking at the catalogue you will notice the 65 has eight boxes with features like the 91 so I'm guessing they're pretty similar(?). Traditional "toe-box" in contrast to the 4E wide models SHB-200 and SHB-80W. I consider myself to be in the wide feet group and measure in the 11.5-12cm (4.5-4.7 inch) and these fit perfectly although you wouldn't want lateral claws on these ;). The wave sole inside is different from the ones in the SHB-80 as kwun showed: more pronounced waves and no support on the backside (http://www.badmintoncentral.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=53577&stc=1&d=1239595851). Same shock absorption as usual on Yonex shoes (= less than other brands like Nike & Asics) and ... well ... more pictures?

Box 5 is the insole, this one has the Power Cushion Insole CF, same as the SHB-200. SHB-80 (and 91) have the Power Cushion Insole MC (don't ask me what the difference is).

The outside sole does differ a little bit from the 91 and 200 in design but all three have the Hexagrip sole (as does the 80 I see).

the insole for 80 has a slightly more rigid skeletal around the arch to heel area, 200 is just a uniform material throughout. if you ask me, 80's insole provide better comfort.

AWESOME SHOES!How much did u get it for?

Wow. Those are really nice. What site did you get them from?

Here's an older enquiring thread with more pics and mentions the shop that I bought them at (online): http://www.badmintoncentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=73794

Price at most should be 8400 yen + shipping to your location

Here's all three (MC, CF & MCF) insoles explained: http://www.yonex.com/badminton/technology/shoes.html

may i know where u order ur shoe from?
thank you...

This is my take.. very comfortable. One of the best Yonex Shoe that i've tried. Not too tight and not too heavy. Just nice. Cushioning wise is Excellent! Durability wise... hmmmm I guess something have to go.

thank you...

If its from Osaka.. most likely its from Shuttle House. If im not mistaken.

Hello demolidor and ants,

What's your take on the consistency of size for this shoe? I'm wearing SHB-100LTD and I'm wondering if I take the same size, will it fit. Of course I'd love to be able to try first but I'm not going to Japan anytime soon.

It is very consistent. If you are getting a normal size 9US .for other model. It will be the same with the 65CF.

This shoe worn by Lee C W & Taufik...

i personally like the white base and the black and yellow, looks more plain and simple

trendy as well :)

Yes they look awesome ;). [Black/Gold] Was going to have a look at the 200's untill I saw these. Sizewise indeed no suprises, as you would expect normally (luckily). Agree with Ants' take: excellent fit (for me) and also thought immediately "not going to last too long". As for the cushioning, can't really compare it to other yonex models since the previous ones I tried were the 89's. It's better than I initially thought (due to hard surface), good on normal surfaces but have had better in other brands although not at this weight. Will probably be fine once I lose the excess bagage I've managed to put on :p (plus my knee is hurting a little from futsal, old nagging injury)

Oh yeah, shuttle-house indeed!

this shoes looks nice:)
can i get it in malaysia?

I think so.. maybe sometime this month or next month i guess. Im sure the shoe will sell in Malaysia.

Just placed the order on shuttle-house for a black/yellow pair. Can't wait!

again the price will be very attractive ..:):)

May i know how is the feel of these shoes when you are playing a game?

I am thinking of getting a pair, but I would like to know if the sole is high(thicker) or low(thinner)? I have both the SHB100 and 101 and higher sole exemplifies SHB101, and lower sole SHB100. I prefer the lower sole as it gives me a solid stand and grip to the floor when playing. Wearing the SHB101 feels kinda like wearing heels and it feels unstable as if I am about to topple over.

Please advise. thank you.

I think the soles are slightly higher. Not too bad but it had a different feel to the SHB100. Might just be that the old shoes were worn down a little. I don't think I'll have a problem adjusting but everyone is different.

101MX still loves me~ Sorry 65CF, you'll just have to wait until she dies~~~:D:D

I've heard that SHB-99LTD is one of the best shoes Yonex has ever produced. Is SHB 65 CF better?

IIRC Lee Chong Wei switched from using the SHB-99LO (JP version of the LTD) to the SHB-65CF recently (well not before trying out the SHB-200WM then the SHB-101LTD).

I hope ants will give some comment on this; he did own the SHB-99LO before and is now using the SHB-65CF.

I don't usually believe the pros. They may even say the new half-sleeved shirts improve their performance ;)

Personally for me.. the 65CF is the most comfortable shoe i wear so far. It has the most power cushion embedded in the shoe compare to the other Yonex models.

Very comfy, about on par with SHB100ltd for me. Insoles are very nice, better than any YY shoes I've owned. Oh and they look great!

Can you take some pictures of the black/yellow version? :cool:

Picture of both colours. I prefer the white/black version.

i love this shoe it's cool looking ...:):)

Wow, that shoes like sound good
Hope it will sell in Hong Kong

Picture of both colours. I prefer the white/black version.

Yes I already saw that pic at the order page but hoping to see some "actual" pics of the other version.
Which is the "white/black" for you? The catalogue calls them black/gold and black/yellow.

Must say not bad looking in the other colour as well http://www.badmintoncentral.com/forums/images/icons/icon14.gif (right). Initially though the left ones were fake but Ants had already mentioned these as SHB-85 before. Another tiny difference is the Power Cushion writing on the side of the sole is bevelled here as opposed to normal print on the 65 (or does it just look that way??).
Any idea if it will be introduced as SHB-85 for the rest of the world? (Hope not :p)

man those are realy nice shoes, no kidding
love the red on them ^^

demo, how the shoe feels in your feet?:D any review?

Not so sure about the insole though, not really liking it, will replace it. Superfeet = super expensive over here though :D, 50 euro!

Both are JP version: http://www.badmintoncentral.com/forums/showpost.php?p=1280708&postcount=31

I have 2 pairs of these both JP versions. Very comfortable and it is a fast shoe. Does not feel heavy on court and have superb heel cushioning.

Hi ants, this shoe already available in malaysia?

Can you share how much did you buy them at? thank u!

I'm not sure if it is available in KL. I bought one pair myself at RM350 in Japan. 2nd pair was given to me.

perhaps we have to wait a lil bit longer

Yeah tru so far not in Msia yet even the clones one...Let see how the SHB 65 clones shoe look like in future (end 2009/early 2010)?

Currently worn by Lee C W & Taufik since Jpn Open SS 2009 onwards.

clone means copy by other baddie company ?? Apacs, Fleet ??

Zabee,

Yes clones by other brand like we all know before...

Either it is a clone.. or slight modification :)

Looks wise might be nice.. but the content.. hmmmm....

is this shoe available in malaysia?

is Power 65Cf available in singapore?

When will these shoes be available in europe.

Is this a brand new model, or an old one.

i think i saw this design at yonex booth at malaysia open 2010 recently, but it's shb 85, not 65.. not sure whether it's the same, but the design is just the same..

Anyone who have bought the black/yellow version of 65 cf. If anyone has, would you please post some pics in this thread.

Saw this shoe, on shuttle-house. I want to buy it in the black/yellow version. But i wanted to know if shuttle-house is a safe place to order? Does anyone have bad experiences?

I just bought the 65cf and a BAG951W from Shuttle-House. It is the best netshop that I ve ever dealed with. The 951W was originally out of stock until the middle of March but I told them I need the bag asap, they asked around and found a customer who is not so urgently need the bag and then send that one to me, so nice!

Did you pay by credit card or bank transfer

credit card. They will give you a link for the payment. It is like a check out system.

Did you buy the shoes in the black/yellow or the Black/gold version

Did you buy the shoes in the black/yellow or the Black/gold version

Does it matter? Just buy it or not already :p (there are pictures on page 3 of the yellow one)

Of cause Black/gold version is the best

I think ants mentioned durability issues... is it less durable than typical yonex shoes?

The JP version is much better. The 65CF has more cushioning compare to the 85EX.

Just Bought the 65 cf.
here are some pictures. it is a great shoe, i used to wear the 91mx but this is much better, can highly recommend it.

White/Black/Gold ftw!~
