RMAF - Gazelle

I ran using my gazelle. And to my amazement, I didn't get any blisters. The sock is wet. But there's no blisters at all. Imagine running at 21km and no blisters. Nipple got chaffed lah. But not at the feet area.

And I did realize the shop does not grip enough on the road. Wonder why.

Gazelle Review - Triathlon

Triathlon, this is the one of the main reason why I want this Gazelle shoe. Usually when I do cycling, I never did worn any socks. And during running part, for both Sprint and Olympic Distance that I have done in Famosa, I didn't wear any socks as I bring the wrong socks which is a bit hassle just to wear it. But for training runs I usually did run with sock.

Problem is with stability, as my feet got wet because of the swimming and the sweats because of cycling, I do feel slippery at somepoint in running part. Thus causes blister, a small one. No biggie I guess. And since it is my first time running without socks, I do feel kinda weird when you can feel the holes at the sole. But as usual, after a few steps, you kinda adapt to it.

And the shoe does smell, a bit. Not at the Xstatic part, but at the upper mesh part.

Overall this shoe is ok. Note to self, dont forget socks

New Gazelle Test Drive

Few km were made with this shoe, oh how well we bonded. I don't intend to run far with it for today, as I'm preparing for the Famosa Triathlon. Try not to over do the running part. So far as predicted. My feet is still dry, even though my running jersey is a bit soaked with my sweats and all. But I guess since I'm running around 9km, there's not much impact. But if I run in my Adizero Breeze, my feet will be soaked with sweats.

Stability is there, try to do some off road just now. No pain. Running is easy as the shoe is light. After a while of not running in this shoe. Need to adjust running in a shoe that have holes in the sole, after a few steps OK already.

Adidas Seeding Program - Ep 2

Yesterday, I got a mail from Krishnan Adidas, regarding another shoe seeding program. I was like "yay, shoes". Tried to call Krishnan but then can't get through. Try to call Frank to inform him about the mail but then turns out that him, Saiful and some other runners were there in Adidas Damansara. That was fast. Frank told me that Krishnan have reserved me the Gazelle, since he knew I was after that shoe for a long time now. Thanks Krishnan.

Went to pick up that shoe straight away.

Erm, the deal is that I take the shoe and write a review about it. Well, here goes.

What makes this shoe special, well to me, is that this shoe is light, and got a lot of ventilation, most of everywhere. I even try to compare this shoe to Zoot Tri Shoe, and I don't think Zoot got as many ventilation as this shoe.

Second is because of the sole, which use a technology called X Static . This technology is about odour. Means your shoe is odourless.

Other than that it's a combination of Competition and Training shoe. And yeah, it comes with Climacool, Adiprene + and Adiwear technology.

Continue with this review later, need to breaking the shoe first before running in it
