is there a physical store where one can try these shoes in SG ? am going to China soon, and will also rrss once there

biggest problem is my wide feet, 4E is barely enough for me... am a human with sasquatch feet

Li Ning, anta, and qiaodan have stores in Singapore to try. Just be thick skinned.

oh don't worry, my skin is thick af and am very particular about fitting of shoes

KNN......... 68 bucks or possibly 78 even

Makes Garmin looks cheap at $75 for HM.

If you don't mind singlet, those qiaodan, uto brand I bought are very light. They are even lighter than the Asics aerobreeze., go for those with vent holes for Singapore climate. Vent holes from branded Nike or Asics are expensive. Not worth the price when we have access to taobao.

I have an ultra light singlet from Qiaodan. 1/4 the price of those from mainstream brands and equally as good. If you know your sizing, it is a good hoot. Might have to go up one sizing compared to your western brands

We know the good china supershoes, but clueless when comes to china daily trainers. I am also eyeing at the novablast either 4 or 5 for the 2nd half of the year. Need it for those LSD.
@xllms can provide better insights since he did more research into them.
Just off my mind, can start reading reviews on 小红书 for Li Ning red hare 8 pro or the Anta G21(冠军3 in taobao).
But looking at the profile shape, both unlikely can compare to Novablast.

Nike vomero 18 is a good alternative too but a bit more expensive

After hearing from you guys, damn itchy to get Qiaodan running T now.

Nedao fabric material look good but expensive!

Think is super inflation. Actaully i remember on yotube in countries like Indo, VN they have HM.
For sure if they make it HM then prices would come down a fair bit.

Anyways, another guy's 10k back in 2016

I think the organiser have learnt from their lesson last year and have put out statements that this year will be better organised. I might join the 10km Garmin as a build up to Standchart half

The garmin event caught my attention too.

But quite scary when I googled for reviews on their earlier event, it was consistently branded as a nightmare

 

[rarenick]

yesterday unclip my left foot and forgot to unclip right foot when dismount and fell off the bike lol

Normally when stopping at traffic light we don't unclip the right foot.

Ya, Nedao is expensive, I think the market themselves as premium quality. 2 years back they have a booth at the SCSM REPC expo, fabric quite soft, I think it's like the nike ones that cost over $100, and the expo if I recall correctly was under $50. But my budget yardstick for upper wear is QD pricing, under $25 for vent holes, lighter than 70gram.

Last year organizer was Trifactor. This year is Score Sports. I don't know about Score's track record, I thik they mostly organize races in Malaysia.

qiaodan and bmai running gears are more value for money

neidao is expensive

another brand i like is STAW, pricing is somewhere in between

of cos most economical are those no brands one

following are some Chinese gear brands i buy for your reference:
staw
bmai
qiaodan
macondo
qinkung
chito running

i also like flipbelt running tights with generous storage compartment around waist and sides for large mobile phone and other items, but its a USA brand so its no affordable. Now i buy no brand equivalent at 1/4 to 1/3 price.

First time hearing of STAW. Looking at their products design, seems like marketed like western brands like Bandit, Rabbit and SOAR.

If you guys wanna check out SEA brands, can check out purpose performance wear PRPS. Lots of local athletes are sponsored by them and their design isnt that bad either.. just on a higher side compared to China brands.

Many to look through. Trying to keep budget at under $30 for running Ts.

Here's a running belt like Chito Running. I have been using for few months. Quality is good. Only SG$2!

Nedao is overhyped tbh. Had the old version ones and don't really find it that good. Honestly,still like aeroswift the best. If can get at discounted price,that's my recommendation

 

[Tudo88]

Revisiting 400m intervals on my deload week. PB 5.0 is really a beast at this price point. I find it better than VF3 tbh hahaha. Will be getting another pair soon.
