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:

Bukit Ekspo route pic

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

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. biggrin.gif

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.
*
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.

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?  laugh.gif  icon_rolleyes.gif 

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

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

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

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.
*
RSH, Studio R there are under same company, so the receipt will show you the mother company name.
BTW I had "bad experiences" with NB shoes...... bangwall.gif

how much was your budget ?

Below RM200. I already search from net/FB, Black Diamond/Fenix (mid range) quite attractive, any comments about this two brands?

I saw from lazada, Energizer 150lumen is below RM70....... is it reliable?

I been to Cultra 100k and with my experience i can tell you , without 150lumens above specs headlight you most likely will get lost in the Berembun  sections.. at that forest at night time was pitch black, so high lumens headlight will help you find your way out from there also to save your time to avoid going to the wrong junction
what i can recommend on the Black diamond were Spot & storm series and Fenix HL55

For energizer you can use it but be prepared to spare more battery in your pocket
*
Thank you very much for your information. I also talked to my Sabahan friend just now and he did point out the same issue, he recommended me to get at least 200 lumen.

I saw my FB fren : Choi CC, promotion for black diamond cosmo (160lumen), and Sam Law Fenix HL15. I think I need to revise my budget for higher lumen headlamp.

actually you need to put in the considerations of the battery life as well .

looking at the both headlights specs i feel that Black Diamond Cosmo can give you a long hour usage compared to Fenix HL15 as fenix only holds 2 x AAA battery while Cosmo needs 3 x AAA which more lasting usage.
Anyhow be ready more battery as you may start at early as 3:45am so running in the dark most likely will kill alot of battery tho.

Thank you again for your input, I will spare batteries into my backpack.
Just bought 8+4 Energizer battery for this coming event. smile.gif
