Shoe Review Day 3

Well, I did a 14km today and 8km yesterday using that shoe. Nothing else to add though, except that I didn't feel anymore pain to my shin and knee.

What I realize is that in the last stretch I still able to lift up my feet (as the shoe is light) and run fast. Before this on the last stretch I do feel heavy.

So far, it has been good, since Krishnan did tell me that this shoe provide me minimal cushioning or none at all. No pain. The grip is there, I can feel it, especially when i do uphill. I just need to test it in a long run, 20km and above. Since I have serious problem with sweating, especially my foot, sure will got blister after 20km run.

And the shoe doesn't smell as bad as my previous shoe. Yeah, I do smell my shoe.

Overall still good

Shoe test drive, day 2

Distance = 6.55km
Route = Lembah Keramat - Halfway Setiawangsa

This run, is not so pleasant. Knee pain, Shin Pain, Hip Pain. Don't really know is it because of the shoe or me. Run more on uneven ground, not so stable. Always tend to fall. Use a different socks. Will try again later

Shoe Test - Dapat lari kat rumah baru uuuu

Distance = 14.32 km
Route = Lembah Keramat - Setiawangsa - Lembah Keramat

Start at 630 in the morning. The shoe is light. That is my first impression. Further down the road, I can feel the bounciness. I'm a flat runner, not a forerunner. But then when I start to run forefoot, I can feel the increase in speed and the bounciness. (boing boing).

It was nice on flat land or specifically tarmac, but on uneven ground.To me, its not that stable. But since Mr. Krishnan said that there's no cushioning in this shoe, maybe that's why.

Overall, the shoe is fine. For now. I do wear a not that suitable socks on this run. Will run again with different shoe. See what is the result

Adidas Wear and Tear

Went to meet Krishnan Karuppan at Adidas M. Got this Gazelle ClimaCool shoe. Still can't find any extra info about this shoe in the Net though. Just like other participants, I need to test and review the shoe. Most participants receive a Adidas SuperNova (Stupe and Cchoi), while Yip and Frank got an Adistar.

The main different between the shoe that I have is less cushioning. No Formotion. A lot of holes in the soles, respiration purpose. And the upper meshes also is breathable.Main feature in this shoe is


Adiprene (Shock Absorber)

adiWear (The rubber itself is make as the same material as to make a car tyre, more durable sole)

Torsion System (Stabilizer for ur foot)
AdiPrene + Propulsion System (Located at the forefoot, helps rebound, spring like action)
CLIMACOOL (Cooling system lah)

At the Adidas office, Krishnan did say this is the last pair for size 10.5. And it is more to a racer shoe. When I look at that shoe, it was like, my dream shoe..aaaarghh..as it have a lot of cooling system. Sole have holes, the mesh also is like you can see the darn holes. Wont be problem for me then, since i have a very sweaty feet..yay

This patch here is for some device ala nike-ipod, still don't know adidas will collaborate with what company
