    I concur with visor. I bought a couple of these, a few heavy duty and a few cross trainer. The heavy duty Spenco is quite thick, so it will probably be too tight if the SH-A920 is a snug fit with the included insole. But it was a great fit with the cross trainer insoles. I put the heavy duty insoles in a pair of oversized Gel Rockets and it also felt great like the cross trainer insoles, just more springy.

    I'll admit, the blue with lime green accents is mighty nice. But I allow myself to admit they are nicer than the green, otherwise I'll have to experience buyer's remorse. Okay fine, I'm jealous. Happy now? :crying:

    You're a bad influence. :p But sure, I just ordered a pair, plus a couple of reels of string just because.

    finally after looong months of finding them, i've managed to get the 8500E! the blue a920s are available too but a much higher price. seems not very worth it..

    sorry for sidetracking!

    Aren't those SH8500-E? Just wondering because this is a SH-A920 thread. ^^'
    Where did you get them? I know that LYD and YYS use these shoes. I would like to get my hands on them too. :3

    ...but I still have to wait until CW45 before I can finally try them. My colleague from HK needs to bring them over to Germany in his luggage! It's sooo good to have nice colleagues! :D

    Having seen the blue and green/yellow in person now, I actually prefer the green/yellow.

    Just picked these up in Red and I haven't been so excited for shoes since...never.

    They're my first Victor pair and I've been using Yonex since I got back to badminton almost two years ago. Let's see how they compare to my Yonex SHB87EX.


    WOOT, and they're Purdy too

    I need help! I have used sha-850 for 2,5 years, they fit perfect. I have tried sh-8500 and is is too wide. Is sha-920 the same width as 850 or 8500??? I want to buy sha-920 but I have no possibility to try it before buying it and Im afraid it will be too wide.

    So I have finally decided to get this shoe but it seems impossible to obtain, I even emailed racquetforce and they said it was impossible to get :crying::crying::crying: (I dont want the ltd colorways, I want the red or blue normal colors)
    Can anyone help me to find where to buy it???

    If even Racquetforce can't help you out, then you are in deep trouble I'm afraid. Seems to me like Victor has stopped production of the non-ltd. 920s already and directly switched over to the 930s.

    But what's your problem with the 920-LTD's? Both the red/black and the blue(purple?)/yellow versions look gorgeous IMO.

    I prefer the original colors, the ltds look over engineered I think.

    Thanks dude, I ordered a pair of red color.
