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.

What for wait...... just buy. I'm a softie lover too. Softness seems to be there.

Glue your Plaid 1 with contact adhesive, prob can last for 2-3 more months and get your money's worth. But dont think you can tahan repeatedly doing that.

Colourway is great too.
Like my Speed 3 that time. Very unique with the red without looking too gaudy.
I find my Speed 3, Pro 3 all too firm, cannot tahan more than 2-3k on them so not too much use - So yes, softie lover here.

Ya softie lover. The poison is strong!

In retrospect, I could have just bought Plaid 1 and be happy all the way.

Other shoes are good in their own way but not necessarily enjoyable long-term or for different type of runs.

Many others belong to the category of can't wait to get rid of them.

Plaid1 will be missed. Damn.. getting sentimental over a pair of shoes.

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.

Went through my past transactions to check and yeah Qiaodan official store cant ship direct to SG liao. 361 and Xtep still can. Not sure if its specific to certain listings or sellers but it seems to be mostly limited to official stores. 3rd party sellers like no issue.

How about getting the 1.5? Rmb 639 only. Remember that it's the 2.0 (pebax) that is firmer/more responsive.

The 1.5 same TPEE as the 1.0 and seriously not much change in density also. (or is it lagi exact same foam).
Or some even find it to be slightly softer even.

Wait a few more months, it'd be like the 1.0, totally gone.


BTW, Plaid 1.0, even tho soft, is totally capable performance wise of doing as fast as 3:00 to 3:20 paces, wont feel out of place when you put the power down and cadence goes past 190. The geometry (forward roll) also can support that.

And yeah as per softie lover, when running and pressing down that hard, if i use something like the Endorphin Speed 3 / Pro 3, i really cannot. Ah, also things like my Takumi Sen 8 with LSP. (that one i just like the black and neon green colourway nia, for show only)...but i use Takumi Sen 8 for sprint sessions is ok for low volume.


Only thing i scared about Plaid 1.0 softness + tallness is turning and esp that turn just outside 1 marina blvd which is off camber. Can really injure your ankle big time if seriously roll.

Yeah 3rd part usually no issue, it's the tianmao stores (namely official). Just that, 3rd party sometimes not that common for some models and for others, only official stores have it.

My guess is QiaoDan and Li Ning has official representatives here in Singapore. They are telling the platform to discouraging us to bypass official representatives here.

 

[hydeyoshi]

finally someone here has the feidian elite 6

I was in china so went to try the shoes in store..

My first reaction when trying the shoes was - wah so soft meh..

The softness is from the foam and bounciness is from the boom capsule.. if that makes any sense..

If sg li ning has the shoes.. suggest you all go try..

Sizing wise.. I bought tts..

Already have plaid 1.5. At first it felt firmer than 1 and not enjoyable. Thought I received a chiong version.

Eventually it broke in. Softer but not as much as 1. It did felt more responsive. Somehow my best 10k runs always came wearing 1.5.

Speed runs I would prefer 1.

Endorphin Speed 3 really cannot. Reviews said quite soft but to me is firm.

Can always pay abit more and use 3rd party forwarder. End up still save quite abit compared to buying locally. Take the Feidian 6 elite. Shopee offical store selling at $300. Buy from taobao is like $60-70 cheaper after gst.

Another reason to buy

Some of you idol of him also.......

 

[WussRedXLi]

Wah lan, no wonder that time he blew. Just go tour tour holiday run but being "compeitive in nature " (no doubt, his genes all coded that way + some sprinking with ego lol) he was beside Sawe and probably some tactical stuff going on as well. But dont get me wrong, he needs that to win and im a big fan of him.

He is the only reason why I putting LN FD 6e on my wish list for next SCSM. Star power. Any favorable review that comes later are just validation my superficial choice was right.

For sure one. This is esp so for those who wants a "more recognised" shoe to race / run. Though for local running, definitely not as "brand conscious" than cycling.......i think not even for those groups like lululemon @ MBS / Orchard area waving flags.

 

[WussRedXLi]

10 mins (sometimes 8 mins already start, really depends). Many variables also, like improperly/ineffectively done CPR by the public etc.

 

[bbbbbw]

Next week I see doc. It’s has been 5 weeks in cast and 5 weeks in splint. Believe next week doc will remove my splint.

but I have phobia of going back to cycling cos “traumatized” . Never expected to have such fall until fracture.

Andreas Almgren pre-race 10k workout

Workout: 10 x 1k with 1 min standing rest

Average pace: 2.34 min/km

Sharpening 10k workout

Workout: 3 x 3k with 3 min standing rest

Average pace: 2.37 min/km

Current 10k pace: 2.41 min/km

Ahh managed to find Run Elite's strides video......i watched this when he posted back when i was transitioning from racewalking to running and i thought it would fit into my training, though i was doing it a bit longer for 150-200m and probably a wee bit lower RPE/slower, coz i have even lower reps but higher intensity SITs.

His explanation is one of the clearest / most concise out there.

He was able to cut more than 30 seconds from his 2 mile (3.2km) TT without even trying much and without changing anything else.

Not saying that this would be life-changing for you compared to other sexier tools, but it is still money on the table left untouched.

Thanks for sharing. Think I will do this for the short term.

Had abit of plantar pain for the past week. Likely because ran in new shoes then I swapped the insole, maybe did not insert in properly...
