@13177 Lol, last time we ran with canvas shoes loh, when young anything also ok😄

Now old liao, all problems start coming out, so needa protect our knees especially when cartilage is already worn out😅

When old liao should go easy on your run, dont run too long distance and push yourself too much la. 😅

@Volvobrickcoz the earlier asics version wasn't so comfortable and bulky/heavy, read that this batch is similar, scared my old jelly legs cannot take it...

Maybe should give it another try🤔

 I also have wider feet, so its good to know they have size catered for it

Saf shoes are OK. But bit heavier side cos it's more of a cross training general purpose shoe. Cushioning wise I don't think any issues.

I bought 2 pairs of PT shoes with the remaining of tokens at emart just before I turned MR...

one pair lusted exactly one year when the sole came off...wore it liked only 3-4times...took out the 2nd pair for a run...sole came off after liked only 200m...😅 

I tink it's NB if not Brooks...light, comfortable but won't lust and broke easily 😁

I think I ended up with the grey NB. Asics and the black one too tight.

I think you "rested" the shoes for too long in between usage. The glue hardened and off it came. 😁 The shoe protested.

You must be like @Ender and @Enye here. They wear out their shoes before the shoe can protest. 😁

No problem at all.  

But unless you are buying off SAF credits,  the shoes are not exactly very cheap anymore.  I think should be around $50 now?  If you are willing to pay a little bit more, there are many off season options from the closed out stores from major brands going under $100, some as low as $69-79. 

If you want cheaper option some more,  the "power" brand from bata,  by bata is also good for those 5km runs,  $49.90 if I can recall.

I bought them for my jogs (about 5-6km). No need to think what to buy since they already spent plenty of resources to test, trail and select.

You got to go test since they have a few types. Only one of them suits my (wider) feet shape.

 

Wide feet no need say has to be NB,  only they supply 4E to SAF.

No really because of that.  Rather it is the moisture.

I have a pair of running shoes that is kept in a "dry" room for almost 4 years.

Both sole still married.

Regardless of age, still can push one la.  It depends on motivation.

I think it depends on objectives,  and what motivates.  

A competitve objective,  is of course to push the body and mind higher each time you do it,  whereas a do it for Heath and wellness objective could be pushing yourself to do it everyday but at a comfortable rate.  

I don't think any party can judge the other party by his/her own motivations.  After all every one exercise or do a sport for a reason,  and mostly for a different reason.  

This is afterall an exercise thread,  and not a competitive training thread,  so we might have to consider if competitive training and pushing hard every session is suitable here.  I am not saying it should or should not,  rather is it suitable.  

I have done both,  and there is a reason I am switching from pushing hard to taking it a little easier.  Not forgetting ,to a certain extent,  I coach.
