Currently using Adidas ultrabounce & duramo
Usually run 5km

Just purely within the Adidas family and short runs, go for the Adizero SL.
End of the year coming up, grab one for 30 - 50% off. Runs firm but gets softer over time.

If you go into other brands, many to name.

As usual, it’s gonna be asics. Top range nimbus and kayano. Mid range are cumulus and gt2k. Neutral and overpronate respectively

brooks

Except for my first ever pure running shoe which was an Asics I always have been an Adidas lifer. 20 plus years starting with the Response Cushion. But I always stick to the mid range for price reasons

I switched to a pureboost last year when it was on sale and realise I've been missing out alot. So this year afrer I wore out my pureboost wanted to go for the latest iteration or an UB or Boston but the reviews were pretty average

So I decide to swap to Puma Nitro Deviate 2. Composite carbon plated. 40% off and i think I'm sold on Puma. Lightweight well cushioned and comfortable trainers

Check out if got 12/12 deals. If ada give it a try. Really an all in one trainer. Comfortable for LSD lightweight with the bounce for speed work

ASICS magic speed

Bump for good thread

Would appreciate if recommendations come with approx price also lol

Pure boost

anybody run in barefoot shoes?

Stake out the Puma website

They give crazy deals closer to the dates 10.10, 11.11 etc

Nitro Deviate isn't on sale now but it hit 50% coming to 350+/- in 10.10 and 400+ in 11.11
I got it for 11.11

5km just go for sandal

Use expensive shoes but run 5km in 1hr might as well just sleep at house

every week or every other week, sure got some sohai asking about running shoes... if only people bothered to search

other topics repeated include coffee, instant noodles

cant go wrong with adidas/nike.

you need to experience yourself with different brands.

ayam tried brooks, mizuno, adidas, nike, saucony, hoka bla bla bla.

but ayam is saucony kinvara series fan.

If you don't need arch support, I recommend Brooks Ghost. Rm200-plus during sales. It's the Toyota Corolla of running shoes. Very comfortable. Only downside imo is slightly poor wet traction.

I'm using Ghost 14, Asics gt2000, Kayano 29 for my 10km 8min/km jogs and I prefer Ghost.

Budget?

Nike will have sale on 12.12, down to RM150 https://s.lazada.com.my/l.me0G

5km any shoe can do.

Rm700 shoes if you want to spoil self

No need rm1000 shoes

I have to go with this one.

Erke will do.
