Easy 10km run down at lunchtime. First time running in Li ning Red Hare 9 Ultra which Chinese say is one of their top 2 super trainers and they didn't lie, legs still feel fresh.

NFL draftee for the Philadelphia Eagles.

Was scouted from Nigeria even though he hasn't ever played American football before.

They say he was discovered through a special scouting program.

Have you tried the Hoka Bondi? How do you think it might compare?

Ibime:
Hoka Bondi and Clifton are good for walking especially if you have had foot issues like Plantar Fascitis. They are also good for gym work, standing all day and easy long runs. This applies to Bondi 6 to 9 and Clifton 7 to 10. Foam technology has moved on to more comfortable specs from the earlier version.

But if you want the option to pick up the pace on your running, I would choose different options as there are better foam technologies than Hoka. Puma Velocity Nitro 4 or Puma Magmax have better foam technology and any Adidas with Lightstrike pro foam is better for running - these are Adizero EVO SL and the Adistar 3 and 4 and Adizero Boston 13 onward. However aways order half size up on Adidas as they pinch the toe due to narrow toebox. Adizero EVO SL is the best Western brand for running but is not good for standing or walking as stability can be an issue.

In summary, if you want to use it for walking as well, you can't go wrong with Hoka, Asics or Brooks premium ranges or the Pumas I mentioned, but if you want to focus on running, the Adidas, Pumas or Asics are best. Nike also has the Vomero 18 or Vomero Plus which do both well although slightly heavy.

However if you have access to buy Chinese brands, I would look at them first. They do all the above at 50-60% of the price. Chinese alternatives to the Hoka Bondi or Clifton are the Golden Camel Flying Bird, Qiaodan LH Max, Li ning Yeuying 5 pro, Anta PG7 version 2 or the Qiaodan TG1.0

For running, best Chinese shoes are the Dynafish Xiaonan and the Li ning Red Hare 9 Ultra. These are actually better than all Western brands for running except the ASICS Megablast which is too expensive. If you are on budget, you can also get the Li Ning Red Hare 8 pro, it will do a good job but not better than the Puma Velocity Nitro 4 on the Western side.

For walking and slower paces, the Hokas are great though.

Google the price of the Hoka Bondi 9 that Llaykorn was asking about. Dynafish is same price but twice as good.

@ Llaykorn, gun to my head, if you can only get one shoe, I will recommend the PUMA Velocity Nitro 4. It is one of the very lightest (about 230g in a size 10), the most comfortable medium stack height shoe, versatile enough for everything from walking to speed runs, the nitrogen foam feels like a dream, the price point is the lowest, and cheaper even than some Chinese premiums and since it's a brand name, you can wear it to social events as well

For walking what's the best shoe. I dont run.

Ibime:
Walking Premium shoes

Hoka Clifton 9 or 10
New Balance 1080 - v13, v14 or v15
Asics Kanayo 31 or 32
Asics Gel Nimbus 25, 26 or 27
Puma Magmax
Nike Vomero 18 or Nike Vomero Plus

Absolute best for purely walking there is Asics Kanayo 31 or 32 because of the arch support, however the others may be softer. If softness is absolute priority, I would go for the Puma Magmax or the New Balance 1080 v15, but any of the above would do a great job.


Walking cheaper shoes

Skechers Arch-Fit
Skechers Go run Supersonic Max (although called Go run, it's more suited to walking)

These are almost as good for walking only and about 30-40% of the price of the premiums. The Skechers Arch-Fit is not as soft as all the others listed but it's arch support is what you are looking for. It beats all the others on arch support except the Asics Kanayo, and with a $5 insole, you can make it as soft as the others. However unlike the premiums listed, you cannot use the Skechers for running at any comparable measure, that's why they are budget.

Yes, they can. The prices will be different

If you want personal delivery, they will tell you the price, and they will deliver it

raumdeuter:
I narrowed to the Asics and skechers. I am buying the skechers as its cheaper

Ibime:
This Skechers expensive sha

At this price, I will default to one of the premiums

My Arch-Fit cost me £30.

Once I'm paying $90, I will rather pay an extra $40 to get the premiums.. I would be money better spent

Two things Skechers fail on is heel lockdown and weight. That's why they can only be used for walking. If a shooter starts shooting, you won't be able to run in the Skechers like the premiums

Tiwa can never tweet this... You have been tricked by Twitter banger editors

Not surprised, Diezani was Ur expensive side chick. She used her kpekus to control your brains, thereby giving her the privilege of looting our national cake carelessly.

BlueRayDick:
You are right.

I shipped on Wednesday from their Victoria Island office. The fee they charge is based on the value of the item you are sending.

In my case, I have the value of the phone as 400k and was charged N23,700. According to them, the fee includes insurance cost so if Ur package goes missing they will claim from insurance to recover the cost which you declared at the point of dispatch.

I checked the mail they sent for tracking the package this morning and I can see the package has reached their office in Abuja this morning.

I believe the receiver will pick it up tomorrow cos I've informed the receiver of its arrival as per the tracking website info.

Just wanted to give you an update and thank you for the recommendation.
