no idea but it has been more than a year since i bought it so i doubt there is... anyway i bought it at imm outlet so the price was about 150 or less...

Before you give up maybe can experiment try hammer nails in or use screws to reenforce

regarding bolded, how much does it improve one's pace for a 10K compared to say, those cheapo SAF emart PT shoes ?

this part i maybe able to answer... i used to not be able to quantify but if i wear a normal trainer like mach 4, nb3, dn2 vs vf2 with the same heart rate the pace would be 5.50km/hr for the formers and 5.30km/hr for the latter

my friend who bought with me brought it out to a cobbler to sew the upper to midsole... looks Frankenstein but he move on to vf3

aiyo too much trouble liao

last pair of emart PT shoes lasted me through almost 2k km, gradually busted a hole on each shoe's fabric upper (where the small toe is) despite them being 4E width

were still serviceable despite the support (not much to begin with) getting compressed till it lost too much stability for my liking

I can't give exact number for your specific questions. But there are some experiments done, ZoomX foam rebounce are the top. Also there another experiment where they put runners on those VO2 mask and run on treadmill, to measure energy expenditure before and after supershoes. Nikes came up among the top.

Even KIptum secretly ran in Nike while he was sponsored by Qiaodan in one of the race (Can't recall which)

And subjectively myself, having worn nike VP2 and the others super shoes, Adidas adios PRo3, Saucony Endorphin pro2 . Can feel Nike rebound is the best. I hurt my ankle with Nike due to instability, but because I felt the rebound is hard to give up, so for last SCSM, I slowly adapted and acclimatize my legs to the Nike VP fly by gradual increment in mileage and rotation. The general advice would be not to run in this shoes. LOL.

Yhanks, that's why I cancelled my long run yesterdays, and run 6km. Tonight test again, even if pain level 2/10, I will change to short run on the spot.

The whole day compression sleeve seems to work. Maybe placebo. LOL, Doing Tibilias raise last night and today.

Think might need to do some plyo jump or hopping exercise. Will research on youtube on this.

shin splints is really must strengthen calf. https://myhealth.alberta.ca/Health/...information/pages/conditions.aspx?hwid=bo1640

Master of low HR

no la. it's years and years of predominantly (>95%) zone 2 training for my mountaineering trips. gotten used to it

 

[SpeedingBullet]

How's your ankle now?
Right now, I have early sign of possible shin splint. Quickly calf compression sleeve for the whole night and day. Cancelled my LSD and ran short 6km only instead. Tonight will see if can run with the compression sleeve.

Do you think you're overstriding? This usually leads to shin splints, correcting gait will help a lot.. increase cadence, reduce stride length.. got try this before?

 

[xllms]

No hurry to gain back. Slowly and gradually increase pace over days or weeks.

yah. Do take care on your shin splint issue. Did you change your running shoes or increase the intensity?

I wouldn't recommend using the army emart shoes. Have ran 437km on it so far, it's durable but too heavy. Do my recovery runs on it, running slower than my racing flats, Asics Hyper Speed 3, next day leg feels more sore.

Best to spend some $ and get a proper running trainers for leg health lol

i usually run about 5pm onwards from bukit timah hill up to holland v area... about 5km 1 way...

Ah I see, I usually go around 6pm when my work ends. 5pm, only on weekends if I go for a run there.

My stride length has always been under 1m. I think most likely over train due to the adaptive training plan suddenly increase me training load.

pic 1 in oct 2023, bought the shoe for about a year... mileage at 100km then... ordered the shoppee china glue... not fantastic

pic 2 sometime Q1 2024 whole shoe split after applying glue on the sides that open up...

pic 3 current, sides splitting again but retiring it at 200km

So concluded that China Shoes cannot last

Thanks. Yes, increased in training load and pace by TAO. I think I need the AI to reassess my easy pace. I am asking the customer support at TAO how to go about to get TAO to lower my pace, watiing for a response.

its nike VF2... maybe made in china

 

[Jeremy1]

Oh, it's Original Nike VF2.

Nike shoes in general cannot last. Even the store people also agreed with me.

My stride length is very short

Ohhh ok, then yeah i think it's a big increase in training load bah.
