On Shoes

This is rather an overdue post. I was given a chance by Alex to try a pair of On Shoes during Deepavali Day for a 20km Bukit Aman-Hartamas-Bukit Aman run. I’ve been very sceptical when Alex has shown me the shoes several occasion ago. Somehow he convinced me to try on it that very day.

So off we go, 20km on a shoes that I have no idea of. But as soon as we start running, I was surprised at how light the shoes were and how easily my feet stride. I would say the one who designed this shoes is brilliant! It somehow helped me to land my feet right and I don’t feel like I’m overworking my legs.

10km off and we reached our pit stop at Patronas station @ Hartamas. I couldn’t stop telling everyone on how good I felt wearing the shoes and still amazed how an unknown brand can has such optimum running shoes.

Another 10 km and we arrived back at the Bukit Aman carpark. I still felt great on my feet, other than feeling empty within. Nonetheless, I’m truly impressed by the shoes’ performance.

The secret lies on the sole of the shoes. It an unsual sight when you flip the shoes around. You could see that there’re many individual grips that are sticking out on the sole. This actually helps with stability and agility while on the run. The side profile reveals how each of these individual grips is in the form of a of hollow  in the middle. This helps to minimise the impact on each stride and therefore protect your legs  from overworking during intense run.

A seal of approval from myself to this shoes. However the selling price of this shoes are on the high side. a pair of this will set you back about RM595.00. Alex told me that they will have a promo for next month which, when buying  any 2 pairs, the second pair will get a person percentage of discount.

So what you waiting for? you can find it at Athlete’s circle @ Jaya One PJ.
