I can't remember who bought this shoes, but it was in early 2012, before I even started running that I got this shoes. It was used primarily on treadmill.
Amazingly, this shoes have hit the mileage of 956.75km. Way past it's intended mileage of about 700-800kms, but since it is used on treadmill, the wear and tear is hardly there. I used it once for Penang Bridge International Marathon, and it killed my feet since it hardly has any cushion. It's a block of near solid one-inch sole at the bottom. I guess that it why it still wears well. Will continue wearing this until it really need to expire.
Second Running Shoes - Yellow Adidas Adizero Feather 2
My wife bought this on my birthday in 2013. It was supposed to debut in the Dragonback Run 2013 but I didn't have enough time to warm-up in it that I didn't risk bringing it out for that race. The first race it debutted was for Melawati Run (after taking it out three times for training) and did quite well at an average pace of 6:34min/km.
This in the end becomes my main race shoes due to its lightness. Total mileage on the shoes right now is 453.43km. I was thinking of retiring it last year after I had it running in the rain for a whole 21km, but after drying it and testing it out for BSN Putrajaya Night Run 2013 and it held well, I decided against retiring it till probably hitting 600-700km.
Third Running Shoes - Blue Sketchers GoRun 2
This pair of running shoes is supposed to be a mid-landing shoe, means to promote me from landing on my heels which I don't generally do at all unless totally exhausted. My dad bought this for me early May 2013. It is a minimalist shoe in my opinion, except for the extra padded center sole.
I used it to train for my first Marathon, doing 24km and then 30km and developed a bad plantar faciitis on both times. This is probably due to the constant landing on the padded center sole. Due to that, I decided to only to run in this shoes for a maximum of 21km at one go. The mileage I collected thus far on this shoes are 320.36km. It is still a good shoe to use for perhaps another 200++ km.
Fourth Running Shoes - Green Adidas Sonic Boost
This shoes was bought by my wife on 27th October 2013. This ended up to be my first cushioned shoes. It was challenging at first due to the hardness of the shoe. I can't easily flex it to how my feet wants it to be while running and landed hard each time.
After several weeks I was able to find the sweet spot for how to land properly using this shoes. Due to that, this became my main outdoor road training shoes and even used it for the difficult Nuang Ultra which i didn't qualify for the distance to considered a finisher. Total mileage on this shoes so far is 236.83km and funnily, the areas beside the shoe-tongue has gotten some wear and tear. Fastest of all my shoes so far. However this shoes have got at least another 400km++ before it is retired.
Fifth Running Shoes - Blue Brooks Pure Cadence
This shoes was bought from Running Lab, Tropicana City Mall, by my sister who bought it for me as a birthday present for 2014.
I've only taken it out once for a 5.04km run. It hurts my plantar but I guess, similar to the Sonic Boost, I will need to program my feet on how to properly utilise this shoes. Will start using it this week during training runs.
