    Another top-end shoe without asymmetric laces - guess that particular feature/gimmick is being dropped ;-)

    Please let us know once you try them out! I'm interested in picking up a pair but I've barely seen any info about them online.

    Played with them yesterday.. my first experience with the inner Bootie, ankle does not seem as secure as my 65zm so maybe if you have ankle issues consider this before purchasing..

    Extremely comfortable shoe, as I said feel smaller than normal so I work 2/3 pairs of socks around the house to break them in, feel great now.

    Performance is great, nice light shoe perfect grip..

    Still a new shoe so durability I can't comment.. I do have some concerns over the material where the toes bend as it seems it might crack in the crease eventually.

    Eventually it will crack, seen it often enough with the shb03 to say this

    As it turns out now after breaking them in they are perfect, true to size.. you need the snug fit up top as there is no support around the ankle..

    My SHB03mid after 1 year 5 months (17 months); each week 2-3 sessions of 2 hour games each.

    The shoe held up so well, the sole is wearing out slowly just as expected. Construction is still solid. The tear I noticed a month in, and it just stayed like that since. Freaking durable in my case at least.

    Are these heavier than Aerus 3? Which shoe do these feel similar to? 65Z?

    Hey Stever! Can you tell where did you purchase this model? I'm looking to get these for myself too, but can't find it online.. Please let me know in which country you live and from which online shop did you buy this model. Thank you!

    Awesome, thanks! I actually discovered Rakuten today, but wasn't sure if it was legit. Regards from Canada!

    Yup I got caught for import tax aswell and seen as they combine the product price and delivery charge you pay a higher amount than on product value.. still nice to get exclusive products.

    Hey Curnow, I noticed they don't give you an estimate for shipping until you enter your credit card info and proceed with payment.. I find that sketchy and haven't made the purchase yet.. What did you buy from them and how much you payed for import tax, if you don't mind me asking.

    Esppy thanks. Yeah I know Yumo, the only problem with them that they don't have a wide selection as Rakuten. For example, they don't have the White Eclipsion Z with inner bootie, only the standart. Also Yumo don't have Black Eclipsion Z in my foot size and they call it Ladies shoe.

    I actually never tried a shoe with inner bootie, how is it? Is it a game changer, how does it feel?

    Not Curnow but sometimes they give an estimate of the shipping fees, and sometimes they don't, depending on which seller and what items you're purchasing.

    What I am worried about with these shoes is the need/nonsense of the RUBBER UPPER LAYER. Why is this better, IS this better, than say normal leather? Rubber reminds me of stinky sweaty feet. Also, isn't rubber more stiff than say leather? I don't get it.

    I feel that Yonex is changing there equipment often and purely for marketing reasons, not to make a better product. I am about to buy new shoes but I just want the best standard NORMAL shoe. I have to be honest, I did try the 2018 65Z and those were not comfy for me, especially the outside, right and left outside sides of the shoe was hurting my feet a bit after playing for an hour. I also don't like the Comfort Z's, because of that weird lacing and tongue. Now what do I do?
