I ditched ankle socks and replace all socks to quarter length to permanently solve this rubbing issue. But I am an unker, so fashion sense is zero.

me come from football culture, high socks kind

Cycling calling muitple times liao

Worked even with some amateur elite athletes like Ben Felton. 5k to FM

You do indoor zwift first, then see if catch bug.

Then catch bug already, no time to run as much, naturally will run at same distances as me.

WTF......but then by now Plaid 1 (2023) shd be pretty well used already so it shd be time that the glue is disintegrating.

Ya washed and sundried a few time over the years. The glue gave way eventually.

Damn sayang. The midsole foam is still very soft and bouncy.

I might try gluing back but afraid open mouth again during run.

Time to buy a new shoes..

If you like bouncy and soft.. can try feidian elite 6..

I bought when I was in china last week.. super soft and bouncy..

Took it for a 5k run and with the usual same effort.. the pace is slightly faster and my avg HR is slightly lower.. it appears my stride length slightly increase as well..

this shoes not quite stable I feel and more suited for mid to forefoot strike..

I bought Asics nimbus as a workout recovery shoe. After using a few times and switch back to EVO SL, the latter is Abit squishy and Asics more stable.

Once you conpar then you really know what is a stable shoe.

Thanks for review! That's on my shortlist.

Wanted to wait till 618 for sale but looks like plan change.

Plaid 1 is really soft and bouncy so Feidian Elite 6 seems like a great like for like replacement.

Mid/forefoot is perfect for me. At least initially when form is proper. When tired, anything goes, heel also come in.

The feeling on the boom capsule is something I have nv experience in other shoes.. but I dun have many shoes to compare with..

I dunno how to describe the feeling but feeling is like airy.. like stepping on a trampoline and the return is like almost immediate.. makes you wanna run faster and more enjoyable..

Botak coach's story

Wah his timings all really not bad. eg 10k nearly 31 min flat. Is Shaun/SRY level.
But is high school age.
Even now 2025 still can gun 68 mins for HM (~ 3:15 pace). Still basically Shaun / SRY level.
Too bad 2 weeks ago Taipei FM was high in temperature and RH%, so results not what he wanted.

I think 2 years ago he made a trip here, saw him at Merlion area guest coaching some folks there. (if i am not wrong was it due to New Balance? cant rem)

Maybe if interested can hire him.

finally someone here has the feidian elite 6

Was shopping for shoes for my kid, not sure but like yesterday started, all the branded stuff (li ning, Qiaodan) cannot be shipped to SG. The changing default shipping address method also cant help it.

But Xiaonian still can use the change default shipping addr method. (bro recklessfella mentioned he wasnt able to check it out for a while, before i tested the change addr method and i found that they changed it back to be able to check out)


2 days ago, the pair of Qiaodan all white shoes i had in the cart still could be carted out, rmb 18 only somemore.
Just checked, another Li-ning all white shoes also cannot be carted out already, same reason as per image above.

So, not sure what are they trying to do.
End up i just bought another brandless type school shoe for my kid.


For those if wanna try, official store feidian elite 6 still can be checked out at this moment
