I bought a pair for my wife, the smallest size. And my wife wore it once, and refused to talk to me for 3 days. :o

Isn't that a good thing

Agree SAF NB shoes are good. Some years ago I also discovered that you don't need the Green 11B. A Pink IC will do as long as you have reservist credits, even police or out of unit on disruption holding list, you can go to any army e-shop and shop and bust your credit limit. I think it's S$100 p.a. until reservist liability over. Agree too that NB lacks solid black colour if you prefer that. I prefer that for casual wear too. But if the NB shoes can help produce a gold for my IPPT, who cares? That's another S$400 and I can go out shopping and buy any fasionable Reebok or Nike black shoes I like for casual wear.

right now I think takashimaya having reebok sale at 50% off...

just my 2 cents:

(1.) Firstly what is your bmi? If 25 or less does not really matter what you wear. If above 25, then get a pair of shoes that has a full base, not those half half kind. Reason being if you are top heavy the base of the shoe needs to be thick and broad in order to push away the shock with every step you take. Recom" Reebok and Adidas

(2.)Next your arc. If flat feet see (1.) above. Same above to get the shock away from your feet because if the shock is not dispersed, it will go upstream and it will be absorb by your knee.If normal pronator, can get any brand you like.

(3.)Asics is strictly for people are light, not more than 65kg. Despite all the hype about it, it is actually not a good pair of running shoes. Firstly, the base is half and half which means the 2 halves are used to disperse the shock. This is no good as every step you take have different force, esp when you are tired. Next most of the models have a cloth like covering making it smelly from sweat and punctures easily if you do not cut your toe nails.

(4.)Remember the key to having a good run is to do stretches before and after. The most important place to stretch is the gluteus and hemstring as they control other major muscles which protects the knee.

(5.)Alternatively can get a pair of trainers as they support your ankles as well.

Not good. My little tigress is cute. If she refused to talk to me, means sibey jialat liao.

Newton running shoes has one of the bestest next to vibrams five fingers next to barefoot running.

So if you can, go naked(feet), then the next best is vibrams five fingers, which is like a pair of socks with thin rubber pads underneath(think about your army gloves with some grip pads on the palm side), then if you think still need shoes cos we are not brought up to run barefeet, then Newton shoes(queensway or peninsula shopping ctr @ fedder sports...ex tho)

Newtons are very costly, in the same region as the Vibram 5 fingers. That's the reason I run in sandals. I'm also considering ninja tabis but they only sell the high cut ones in Sg. Does anyone know where I can get the low-cut types.

 

[gymkhana]

do you get blisters running in the sandals?
In the vibrams initially, I get some shafing on the tips of my longest toes which usually heals in a few days, but no more blisters now though the tips still feel abit tender a day after.

Cheap (free on e-mart credits if you are NS slave) and good: SAF running shoes. New Balance, Brooks... I think it is Asics now.

Mizuno? Never tried before. In PA, no branded track shoes allowed for IPPT. Only the standard issue (i.e. free) canvass PT shoes. If I could get gold in that, I could get gold in any shoes anyway. Nowadays, I don't jog or run anymore. No more entitled to take IPPT. :( I still wear sports shoes for casual purposes. Ecco is not bad.
