iBong... iGone

Now you probably think: A NEW PAIR OF SHOES!! WON LOTTO KAH?

No lah I wish. I changed to another pair of running shoes from iBong...

The reason behind was eventhough the iBong shoes were comfortable but I was still getting knee pain when running long distance. So figured that it might not be a good idea for it to run my half marathon.



I booked in to see a podiatrist yesterday after work in Shoe Clinic. The podiatrist is available there every Thursday from 4pm to 6pm, and the best thing was - it's free for me, guess spending NZD300.00 there is kinda worth it huh~



She asked me to put on my iBong shoes, did a bit of walk and run around in the shop so that she could see where the problem came from. Later she told me my feet walk in a neutral way but it's when running my feet rolled in a little and that put pressure on my knee. That's why I experienced knee pain during my long runs. And obviously the shoe was probably not the right shoes for me... DUH!

Kindly, she advised one of the young staffs there to get a few other pair of 'right' shoes for me to try on. I tried on Asic's, Brook's and Nike's. They all felt stiff on my feet when I ran on treadmill. Lastly they got me this pair of Adidas. Once I slipped my feet in the shoes, instantly I felt the difference. It was more comfortable than any other brands and even my previous pair. Only thing is, it's a female shoes and size... Apparently they don't do men's size for my feet... *sobbed*

But it's all good. I love the pink colour, like, it's so me. So I decided to swap my iBong with this iPink.

It was sad to depart with my tailor made iBong but if it doesn't do the job, there is not much point of having it... I guess end of the day, I'll grab whatever that works for me. And maybe one day I can re-create another pair of iBong that is 'right' for me petite feet.

Meanwhile, ladies and gents, please welcome my little pinky.





And ode to Adidas!
