Spoilt myself

Dear bloggie,

Bought myself these...



"New Balance Minimum - Road"

Decided to spoil myself with tis rather expensive (RM 300) b'day gift to myself... A bit pricey but heck who else will buy for me if not myself.

This shoes comes with a rather amusing warning tag in the shoe box:

"Caution: This product increases the strain on the foot, calf, and Achilles tendon. Overuse of this product or use of activities outside of running and walking may increase the risk of sustaining injury.

This product should be introduced slowly into a running exercise routine. New Balance recommends limiting initial use to 10% of overall running workouts and very gradually increasing training time and distance."

This shoe is a "barefoot" transition shoe. To run barefooted, one will need to restrengthen the weaken leg (due to our excessive modern shoe padding) and tis shoe is a great in between shoe for those making the transition as the padding is a lot less than normal shoes but there is still there so you don't over do it too much to get injured instead.

There are 2 other designs, but I fell in luv with the red + black one at first sight. Also in terms of weight, very light... almost as light as New Balance light weight trainer sneakers. A rather cool feature of this shoe is it is design tat you can wear it without socks (interior well padded). Already look forward to taking this shoe to a spin this weekend... :)
