i too completed the marathon in dec, jus recovered from injury,
did not train in a mth, nearly died .... haha.. completed in with
pure determination !
What i find about shoe shops in sg is that the shop assistants
can't be bothered to help u with the shoe models, i doubt they even
know wat are certain shoes made for. Shops like world of sports in
major departmental stores are the worse, the shoes are over priced,
and all placed in the wrong section! i dun expect to have any
helpful advice from there !
What u can do is to go to www.shoefinder.com , they offer pretty gd
reviews about shoes , and the type of models that suit your needs.
Then u can go down to queensway to buy them , they are much cheaper
there.
Personally, i prefer asics shoes , but they are rather on the high
end.. i do agree a gd pair of shoe is impt for running to prevent
injuries ....
