Johor Bahru - share is caring - Part 2

[twosix]

I hv sketchers I buy coz I thought it was popular and must be good,
BUT
I hv a habit of half wear my sneakers
Like I slip it on without putting the back part of the shoe up,
Then there is this metal thingy jut out frm the back when one day I tried to wear it properly and it cut the back of my foot
I had to push it back to straighten the piece of 'metal' inside the Back of my shoes with some force all the time ,
I hv nvr worn any shoes with so much frustration

I won't buy Sketchers again

And I did not purchase frm TB , I paid full price without discount at their Bugis outlet

Yah, we bought locally too. Bad quality .

I like coz it light and comfy to wear. spoil already than buy new one lor. always got offer.


Read HWZ Forum Rules!

Light and comfy do not mean sacrifice quality.

just curious, anyone tried using ichange and go into stores to buy tng reload pin and top up?

Why u all like skechers? The quality is very bad. Wear less than a year spoil already, and this happened to a few of my family members. Never ever gonna buy this brand anymore.

The year I got 3 or 4 pairs of Adidas (different models), a friend got 2 pairs. He then went to buy a pair of Sketchers for work saying it's very comfortable. I can't figure out how it can be more comfortable than those Adidas, and he pointed out having to get the newer models with more comfortable back.

I've read the term Reload PIN before, just that I've not gone to explore further.

Getting more impatient with change so I'm looking for ways to empty the wallet.

So money loaded via Reload Pin becomes non transferable.

Cannot use for Duitnow transfer/payments will be a bummer.


https://www.touchngo.com.my/promoti...ng from as low as,Shell, and Watsons near you.

Starting 1 November 2023, you can convert funds from your Non-Transferable eWallet Balance to your Transferable eWallet Balance. This option comes with a minimal 1% administration fee for each successful conversion.

Since becomes non-transferrable via PIN, then better go to one of the pharmacies to top-up

those over the counter top up services are cash only.

I think Sketchers can go online buy if u knw the shoe model and size u want, can use vouchers to off set too

I can't remember which website , maybe is Taobao

I prefer to buy from the shop. Not all shoes are standard size. There is a different of 0.5 size, depend on design.
If you always wear flip flop, your feet size will become bigger, so buy online may not fit you feet well.
Just my 2c

I have been wearing their shoe for many years. Main thing is comfortable and light.
Quality wise good for me, I wear it daily, can last about a year, good enough for me.
Recently their outsole design or quality is not good, so need to choose the good one.

I wanted to buy adidas or nike, but I find that both brands, the insole usually hard. Age catching up, we need better insole for support.

I'd buy from Decathlon if i want light and comfy shoes. I bought a pair of jogging shoes for $15+ in 2020. I'm still wearing it today, though not as much as before as i prefer my crocs.

Not sure about Nike, but Adidas has a pretty good range with different build, so to speak.

I got 4 pairs of Ultraboost, 2 softer ones for running and they're comfortable, good for day-long walks too. Then 2 pairs from their xbrands collaboration and *can't remember the exact term as well*, soft one for local walking and harder (leathery) one for overseas walking. Oh, also another more classic leathery pair for not-so-sporty wear. They all lasted through C19 and still in good working condition.

And before that, also got a couple of pairs from JB for general use. Willing to shop around, sure can find lah.
