Hi health/fitness sifus,

Currently on the lookout for some decent running shoes on a budget, probably < RM200-RM250. Prefer to visit physical stores as need to try the sizes out instead of online.

Not really an avid runner as might just use it as a daily casual shoe. Current shoe is Skechers Elite Flex adnd they're quite comfortable especially with the memory foam.

So far I've been to several outlets such as OC [Original Classic]/ Skechers/Al Ikhsan & RSH just to survey. No particular brands springs to mind although been checking out some reviews on budget shoes.

Best Running Shoes 2019

Kinda spoilt for choice too.

Just need some feedback.

Thanks!

WHY PAY MORE at mid valley

sudah tutup laa...become sport direct tapau both kedai.

can try reebok at Stadium Mid Valley. they have few shoes discount 30 to 50 %.

I just bought 2 reebok shoes at Aeon Midvalley coz they have clearance sale for reebok and Keds....got 50% sale also.

U budget is too tight for adidas or nike...

waah reebok? really ar? mind share ur shoe pic? haha

Nike Pegasus(old model), if had small discount could get RM250+

Thanks for the suggestion bro. Reebok shoes do seem nice.

Yeah, that price range unlikely I can get newer models. OC selling for like massive discounts on certain models so I used it as a benchmark. A bit reluctant to spend more than RM200 actually for shoes knowing that with my habits, likely the shoes will either wear out or become alligator mouth before long. Haha.

Best Running Shoes 2019

My long time favourite Brooks GTS at No.40 & no more Mizuno on list

Hey Bro, can consider visiting Mitsui Outlet park at Sepang. There are quite a lot of shops there that are worth a look.

Just bought yesterday at aeon mid Valley... I don't like running shoes...got few running shoes selling yesterday..

dont go OC

not bad for casual wear. im looking for running. my shoes now 3 years. looking for new.

Why no Asics ?

agree, think asics are quite good! very stable and good for running long distance

Another bargain for sport shoes is Sport Planet Off Season retail. https://www.facebook.com/sportplanetwrehouseoutlet/

I bought 2 pair of Adidas Ultraboost ST and 1 pair Pureboost at Mines shop... at 200 a piece...but size quite limited at that time. They have a lot of shop u can find around klang valley.

Ah oh yes. Thanks for reminding me about Sports Planet. Haha.

Forgotten there's an outlet at Subang Parade too.

Will have a look.

A bit noob when it comes to sports shoes so how do I identify they're Ultraboost shoes [do they have clear Ultraboost stated on the shoes?].

I see. Mind sharing why the comment about OC? Service or selection?

Haha thanks a lot for the suggestions as well bro. Mitsui...

dont waste your time. i learned my lesson already.

just go mitsui and buy Nike Pegasus 34. cheap and functional.

but at the end, its the question of what brand you like. we can recommend, but you will follow your heart anyway.

Thanks for the feedback bro.

I was at Mitsui last weekend but didn't manage to go into Nike due to the queue.

Checked out Adidas/Puma/Lotto/Skechers and a few others too. Adidas UB/PB series were out of my budget.

I ended up scouring the Skechers clearance sales at the concourse area... A GoRun series and hopefully happy with the end results.

I like Asics, but can be slightly more expensive

I see. Thanks for the feedback.

Will survey a bit as well and see if the shoes are within budget.

i think is worth the investment if you run often. Good support prevents sprain

200-250, your budget is quite tight.

Try the Marathon shop at lot10, they got plenty of shoes and some with good discounts.

RM200-250 can probably get a good Brooks shoes, quite nice for running and affordable.

What's your preference for a shoe? Soft & bouncy? Tight fit?

Always get shoe size + 1 (if normally you're getting 7.5 uk, try go up to 8.0/8.5uk) cause the toes will swell after long runs.

Get the shoes for running, don't be like some newbie that wear 'sport shoes' for running. End up foot hurt and bad form.

I see.

Thanks for the tip.

Usually not so savvy about running shoes so good ol' Googling came out with some results and I started reading more articles on Runner's World UK.

Yea, back then I used to just take a decent Bata shoes and use it for running. Does the job but feet may have blisters later on.

More of an avid walker and may slowly ease back into jogging routine when time permits.

Thanks again for the tip on the shoe sizes. I bought a Skechers pair at UK size 7 and it's already quite a tight fit at the ankle area...

How to know what is the best running shoes for yourself?
Any kind of quality/materials/bottom treads to look for?

How to know what is the best running shoes? Any tips?

Hard to gauge too bro.

I believe it's personal as every person will have their own requirements/features that they're keen on.

Some prefer comfort/looks/budget/reliability etc.

For me, I'm very much happy with Skechers as their memory foam shoes are very comfortable for my feet [not running shoes] so I decided to get a pair of GoRun from them.

So far so good.

Just wondering if anyone has tried the lazada - too good to be true shipped from China - running shoes. Managed to see adizero boston 8s and adios 4s for below RM200 or the nike Pegasus 36s below RM150...

I guess better not take the risk bro.

Too cheap also dodgy plus I prefer to test the shoes personally as some sizes may not be standardised. Adidas size 8 may fit me nicely but when it comes to other brands, e.g. Nike/Skechers etc, I might be using size 7.5/9.

Is al-ikhsan store sell legit shoes? Any recommendation for place to buy the shoes?

Al-Ikhsan is alright. What is your budget bro?

Where are you staying? Otherwise a good option would be to visit Premium Outlets [Mitsui/Melaka/Johor/Genting] to get good deals.

Just a quick update - lately been exploring replica shoes and although I am aware that these are basically lookalikes but doesn't even have the same features/materials as the originals...

Vaporfly Next %
Alphafly
Ultraboost 20s

My gosh, these shoes are really quite comfortable.
