I had a similar situation with a reseller on carousell too. Seller started asking me if it was a trust issue, blah blah blah.

Any seller who does not entertain questions is a red flag for me. I don’t deal with idiots.

yup..
and they like to compare their prices to stockx.

i remember when i wanted the jordans 4 levis.

got 1 seller trying to sell at $550 neg whereby stockx price is dropping like crazy.
i offer him $450 (as stockx prices hover between $460-$480) and he went ballistic on me. saying i low ball he only earn like $20 if he sell me that price. lucky for me, i manage to find another seller sell me lower than $450.

in the end, he lower his price to $450, still got the cheek to ask me still want or not.

no real point collecting based on hype since the price always rabak for the early adopters who can only get from resellers

these shoes keep in collection 4~5 years later if midsole never detach the hard plastic hardware also will start to go brittle and break off

life's short, wear and be happy lol

Picked up the Saucony Freedom ISO to try out since the price was quite good. It is a similar shoe to the Kinvara in that it has a 4mm drop from heel to toe.

And it’s the first Saucony shoe to feature a full Everun midsole. Everun is similar to Boost, but is said to be more responsive as it is firmer.

Altra's "Altra Ego" foam also is TPU like everun, boost. it is on their Escalante and one other... Escalante is quite "athleisure" looking running shoe

Escalante Racer is the firmer, lighter version with a structured open mesh upper instead of the stretchy sock upper on the usual Escalante.. released as a 'LE' with various marathon themes

freedom iso outsole should be quite durable too

Do you guys have a problem of your shoes becoming "wider" ? I got wide feet but even when I buy wider shoes, after a few wears the sides bulge out, and it looks damn ugly.

How do you all combat this? or is this just the way it is.

edit: my sports shoes don't have this problem though.

To be a good running shoe, it has to firmer than UB's boost.

UB's boost is so soft that it hardly provides support, it gives more sinking feel while running.

Kinvara is my ideal running shoes, using it since kinvara 6 and nvr look bck. Nike zoomfly & pegasus turbo are something I am trying atm, still getting used to it.

Got ppl buy, juz not hype like boost. Its a good running shoes, firmer. Personally, I think alphabounche are better for long distance & multiple days wearing when u cant rotate your shoes.

My personal opinion - Ultraboost tends to bottom out at the end of a day's wear. The next day, it wont feel as plush. Muz give it time to recover. Rotate every day.

May I know what shoes u have the bulge problem? How about upsizing 0.5/1 sizes for ur wide feet?

There isnt any way to combat wide feet. Onli to upsize for comfort, removing insole, choosing wide cut design?

I wanna get EQT SUPPORT 93/17 on end clothing. anybody wanna share shipping? my shoe is SGD 125 only. pm me if you interested.

I agree on UB being too soft. For me, it almost feels like I am going to roll my ankle sometimes. Great lifestyle shoes but not a running shoe for me.

The Kinvara on the other hand is pretty perfect for me. I have yet to get a blister from wearing a new pair of Kinvara. The hotspots go away after a while once the shoe has been worn a couple of times.

And after going for a first run in the Freedom ISO, I can say it’s pretty much the same as the Kinvara with the exception of being slightly heavier and a little more bouncier.

I have wide feet too and the bulging happens on all my office shoes. I’ve accepted it as the norm.

Somehow it keeps entering the payment loop and i am unable to order.

Cause now ADIDAS US is having a 20% discount with ADIBTS code.
