claimed to be the most responsive non-plated trainer.
NB Rebel v4 is also another non-plated trainer, which is too soft for my weak right ankle.

According to him, China doesn't have a max cushion shoes for slow running. So if you are in a market for a high cushion shoes, like Nimbus, Kayano, Saucony Triump, NB 1080, can consider this Anta shoes. Very cheap at RMB 399.
Upper looks plush as usual like the western branded max cushioning shoes. No good for heavy sweater. I can only use this for short recovery run to dampen the impact for fatigue legs..

i think the pair i wore today (必迈BMAI 远征者5.0) is quite max cushion already. Bought it at less than RMB350.

Up mileage or break to multiple shorter sessions, with each session using different shoes.
What is your size? maybe we can help you.

Ya certainly upping mileage. No problem with 250km a month
Depends on pace also. If slow like 9:00/km shoe won't last more than 350km one
If faster pace the shoe can last up to 520km because long stride can cover more distance mah

At least running shoes still comparatively cheap compared to cycling hobby ones. The helmet and shoes comparatively more expensive. Some crazy cycling shoes top over 1k, mid tier ones (SG folks pov) around $500-600.

And of course, hobby kias where got buy 1 shoe 1 helmet one.

My ex colleague, both husband and wife caught the cycling fever. Each of them own 3 bikes. Bought their first bike more than $1K each, and by the time they bought their 3rd bike, it almost $10K for that. But interest last shortly for a few years, coz they went back to being sedentary. Also those cycling jersey, shoes and helmet, is not just one pieces, multiple of them.

over here, cycling is becoming quite a craze, there are many sporty chiobus doing cycling...for singles good to find a partner...many organising sports events as a form of match-making (cycling, badminton, tennis, running, hiking, etc)

yes the price for cycling eqpt and sportwear is quite high as compared to running

Got 2 types....one catch fever and remain fever. The other type will die down..... eg vast majority of covid cyclists. Actually i believe runners also will have but shd be less %.
If get stuff from TB still ok, not so expensive even if multiples, issue is.....majority here are quite brand conscious.

Maybe it's a calling for you to try cycling as well and thus cross train. :ROFLMAO:
