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.

dont sleep on Anta

just bcs is a china brand doesnt mean is not good

i have one running shoes from thm for treadmill workout

works very well for me and much cheaper thn other brands

puma is ok in my opinion, quite comfortable https://s.lazada.com.my/l.mebY

training- puma velocity nitro for 200 discount

New Balance Rebel Fuelcell V3

Li Ning

If you only plan to run 5km, any brand also, no need spend too much.

But if you need to run 10km, 21, or 42, better go to try brooks, ASICS, or hooka, those specialise in long distance running. Need to check your foot arch to determine the type that suit you, if you feet are normal arch, then can wear brooks ghost series, can buy old model from online store not so expensive. If flat feet, then need to wear special shoes.

Not recommend to buy Adidas or Nike for long distance running, as they only strong in design but weak in function and support (after 20km running, the shoes will be very critical to provide cushioning and support as yourbleg muscle is getting weaker, can avoid injury and share the burden of your weight)

nike next%

tik tok running shoe rm19.90......

asics nimbus if you overpronate. Real comfy for long runs

Running is the worst exercise ever

They say novablast 4 is good
Just launched
About rm550 only

KJ also wear

You mean kayano ?

Nimbus is for neutral .

Overpronate you need support shoes such a kayano, there the rear outter sole is more firm to prevent your putter heel from pronating.

Understanding any brands product line is damn complicated.

Pronator go for kayano. There is a budget verson for pronators, gt2000 and even cheaper gt1000

Yes. For support go for kayano
Those runners with flatfoot can wear kayano too

Especially brands like ASICS they design every model with specific purpose. Even every line and stitching on the shoe have a purpose.

Nike > All

Dont downplay adidas and nike.
These 2 brands holds multiple world record for marathon.
Adidas and nike super shoes are great. They got so many models very confusing, but the top tier model is very good.
Adizero pro and alphafly series are good.

Just 5km
9key Free / Pegasus is more than enough

Topkek bukan ler.

Nimbus - Under pronation
Kayano - Over pronation

Neutral 2 also can pakai.

just bought a back to basic tharther rp3 after all the recent hoohaa of cushioning on support and stability. i think it work okay.

Nimbus is Under pronation

To simple people, a running shoes is just a running shoes
Not knowing that good running shoe brands have different range for different fitment and feet types.

What does takedown means?

cheaper model alternative

Nope, nimbus is neutral, not under pronate. And for overpronate, u should not wear neutral.

If among my list that you want to call is under pronate, it is cumulus. Definitely not nimbus.

susah-susah just buy neutral shoes. if got pronation just change insole.

dont need to buy specific model.

assics for daily trainer just buy novablast.

Best is go to asics and get them to test your feet and recommend it.

Mainly for neutral
And put in the under pronate category as well

Hehehe

No idea

Nimbus is upper version of cumulus bro

ASICS and mizuno

If short run, go for nike/adidas
If long run, go for Hoka (it really save you from the bounce)

Do you know what makes a shoe specially designed for overpronate feet ?
It's not only about the insole.

Stability/support shoes is designed to prevent your ankle from rolling over when you run. The density and compound of the foam at the inner part of the heel is more firm, to prevent the ankle from pronating.
Tomorrow you go to ASICS shop look.for kayano and press that foam area. It's much firmer there.

No need to test

Just look at your existing running/ walking shoes

You'll able to tell from the pattern wear on the rubber sole

Yes this. Current shoe is the best to know pattern lari mana.

Asics Gel-Nimbus.

My nimbus 23 is almost due to decomm.

Wanted to get the new nimbus 26, but I cannot tahan the marshmellow look. Lol

Whoa, TS like a casual runner and you all dive so deep into the weeds.

Anyhow if for TS profile going Asics, my pick would be the Novablast 3.

- With Novablast 4 coming in, there will be a discount.
- Great do it all shoe.

mine neutral feet so dont need to worry.

Pronator had 2 version
Here is the picture.

Options for the same type of shoe as the Nimbus include the Nike Invincible and the New Balance More.

Anywhere can get mizuno? Wave rider is ngam my kaki but nowadays can't find anywhere liao. Last time can cari at Aeon..

Novablast 4 is already in

I've heard good things about the Mizuno Wave Rebellion Pro. But I haven't found good places in KL that consistently stocks Mizuno.
I usually hop over to SG for this brand.

Nah. I'm not into brands such as Nike and Adidas.

Hard you find mizuno now

I was looking for mizuno for squash.
Couldn't find. So I ended up with ASICS rocket gel again....my 5th pair of ASICS rocket gel
Good stuff.

Dam. Mizuno is quite good stuff but ppl here like dun want this brand.

exercise makes you aging but can't extend your life, save your money

I think you are overreacting. No need you to explain how famous are these two brands in world champions' sponsorship. Your explanation on their world record sound like you really thought people don't know you are born by your mum who is a woman....

Back to the topic, TS only run 5km, so he can buy any brand he want including these two.

But If he want build his mileage, then can try with those more affordable brand that are with good features also, why need to straightaway upgrade to top tier shoes? But maybe if you are rich and your value on item is how famous they are in Branding Value, then yes lo. TS now run 5km U recommend him alphafly, you ok or not

I also stunned by his statement, lol. Very green

This one ha, if go Bukit tunku run one ard, everyone will say hi and wave hand to him with smiling face

nike and adidas always got sale if u go mitsui/JPO.

u can get those super shoes at steep discount regularly.

want build mileage, get max cushion shoes, any brand got. asics, hoka, brooks max cushion shoes also not cheap.

and no, im not rich. i always go buy during sales or at outlet.

BTW TS budget is 500, Novablast is good choice based on retail price.

NB Freshfoam X 1080 v13

And this is coming from a robot
Lol

Before anyone recommend any shoe brand or model to TS, first thing TS must tell or find out his feet is of which type.

If neutral then ok. Can wear almost any shoes

But if have pronating problem, better to get support shoes to prevent injuries and pain.

Beginner don't need those bouncy thick midsoles.
Want to splurge get nimbus, want to save can get lower ranger which are also very good in serving it's purpose like Gel excite or dynablast

Yeah
Beginner no need to get high end shoes

Most important for a beginner is to buy the correct shoes. Then start running consistently first, and learn the correct running technik, breathing, correct running form, pacing, etc.

When the person develop the commitment to run regularly then can think of getting good high end shoes.

Average runner here ≈ 90-100km/month..so every year change new shoes..got adidas nike saucony..but saucony always the first choice.

Bought this recently for rm399. Worth every penny for daily running shoe

Just bought my first ever pair of saucony when I went to their outlet few weeks back. It’s a hurricane 23.

Old model, as they have discontinued this series. Aiming for it as this model has been getting rave reviews for stability shoes. Not bad at all, support is good.

Y sandal do the job

Started during MCO but not been consistent enough to see results. Calves never get sore anymore after each session but 1st time soreness really wow.

Gotta really learn proper running technique though. No cushion can be punishing if you heel strike.

Using Vivobarefoot Stealth 3.

Ohh where u bought yr vivo ?

Nike downshifter cheap and good.

Where is this shop ?
I'm think of getting another pair of different brand.
I'm on ASICS all the time including my other sports shoes, including my futsal shoes.
Thinking of trying hoca or saucony.

Running lab pavilion.

Whoops, i mean supinate - looking at my older shoes, the soles wear out thin on the outer bottom (that's the opposite of pronate right?)

Neutral huh? let's see how it works out for me, to date, feel fine. The cushion takes some getting used to, but i went through more comfortable than i usually do for a 21
