I read online that wearing trail-running shoes for road running will wear out the outsoles quickly. My question is, how do you define a trail? Trail means dirt road is it? I mainly run at UPM's Bukit Ekspo and the route there actually has paved surface.

Here's how it looks like:

So does that count as trail or road? Should I get trail running shoes or road running shoes?

more like road to me.

Bukit Expo in UPM is consider normal road........ I used to run there when I did my study, except u run into the palm oil estate or the orchard area.

looks like road for me ... if so , get a road shoe will do

Thanks for your input guys.

Now I have a new dilemma, if my actual shoe size is somewhere between 8 and 8.5, which size should I get?

I've tried putting on both and the comfort level more or less the same since shoelaces can be loosened or tightened accordingly.

Hi guys gals

Can help me to keep on eye for Asics racer shoe TMM454 as shown in pic or TM455 model (red color on display at 1U Asics) ....

Wish to know which store have discount for such models.

Current promo is RM88 cash rebate for next purchase

Thanks

I think it's RSH or Stadium (guessing from the discount tag)

May I know normal running shoe is it suitable to run on hill/mountain trail?
if not suitable then why?

Bring the sock together (which you wear for your running session) to test each size, get the right one (best timing to buy new shoe is afternoon/evening).

Even same model but different generations may have different cutting.

All these models is racer shoe

Updates:

Limited sizes available.

Decided to get TMM460, got my size. then leg itchy, asked the salesman, TMM459 got my size? checked and no more. only size 9.5...

Thanks!

IMHO, if you want to try Asics lighter version shoe, can look at Tartherzeal series, with come with WIDE cutting model also (despite regular and fit cutting).

got lighter version?

available in RSH/ Stadium? and also importantly ada discount?

for me TMM series is good enough, as minimalist...

For Asics road racing series , there's one model are very popular but sadly is 7mm drop ..
Asics TartherZeal 3 weight less than 180g ...

Which definitive guide to running would you recommend to a beginner? Preferably one that focuses on running form and how to make training plan.

So far I din see RSH selling this model, u may need to visit to Asics Concept Shop to have a look.

Agree with u, Tartherzeal is very light.......7mm for me is acceptable. I have a pair of Tarther Japan, which came with 10mm heel drop, really feel not so comfortable as compared to Tartherzeal.

10mm is way too high drop .. feeling is not there

yaya, once used to lower heel drop shoe, will feel "cushion" type shoe not so responsive especially for interval/tempo run (my personal experience).

I think I got confused now

MV outlet is Studio R as shown in receipt and the signage show Stadium...

Anyway, I got my 3rd shoe, with 50% discount. Should be enough to last 6 months. By then only find again.

The shoe I really wanted to get is NB minimalist with vibram sole... Too bad no more and if have no discount.
Somehow im not willing to pay RM300plus for NB shoe.
