these shoes are made for running
I went to the SAF eMart to get running shoes today. Back in my NS time, they only had the now classic (read: ugly) white and blue New Balance running shoe. Now they've added the Brooks Maximus cross-trainer to the line-up. And it's so frigging cheap at $39.90!
It not only looks good, but it's much more comfortable than the previous NB I bought from eMart two years back. I just got back from running; now I float like a butterfly and sting like a bee!
On the shoe box, it says it's suitable for all types of feet, whether you pronate, supinate (under-pronate) or are neutral, though it seems more like a marketing lie to me. For me, I supinate, quite badly in fact, meaning I tend to walk with the outsides of my shoes (you can easily tell if you've seen my worn shoes). So I need shoes with very good support. This is something I learned from the Marathoner, and he keeps telling me that I need better shoes than those Brooks if I'm into serious running. I think they'll do for now, though. And I think even if he ends up as a failed Marathoner, he still makes a decent shoes salesman. Heheh.
The white Fitness For Life socks there are even cheaper - at just $1.35 per pair!
Haiz, my IPPT has been brought forward to this Friday. Dammit, now I don't think I've enough time to train for my target time. Wish me luck anyway!

i think tat's pronate, or over-pronate for extreme cases, meaning u push your feet's arch flat onto the ground, which is opposite from me, as in i tend to exaggerate the arch and walk on the outside of the feet.
Good luck dude... and yeah the best thing about the NS-system now, are the free moolah every 2 years. Its a matter of deciding how to splurge, eh?
Good Luck!Good Luck!Good Luck!Good Luck!Good Luck!Good Luck!Good Luck!Good Luck!Good Luck!
And remember, my 50%, okie?
(rewards for being such a support, a timer, a companion, tho I jogged on the spot while u run, a blar blar blar... haha...)
