what? you don't have 80Gb and Nano? Xiao!
my gym sessions are after work, so i doubt i will use my running shoes.
i'll prob wear the pumas for my gym sessions.
i dont like running on threadmills.
i prefer running on roads with slopes.should be able to burn more calories i reckon.
Yes, outdoor running is quite a difference from the threadmill. I'm not a competitive runner, so I chose my shoes based on how good a cushioning system it provides.

for the last 3-4 years, i've been running with New Balance running shoes. Served me quite well. this year i bought a pair of Asics running shoes on sale for $149 at Royal Sporting House, Suntec city branch. Feels very comfortable and lightweight, with great cushioning.
some additional unwanted advice, which you can toss out of the window...
losing weight is a combination of controlling your diet (less carbohydrates, more protein and good fats), mild weight training and brisk walking/running. in my humble opinion, if one is overweight, one should lose weight first and then run, rather than running to lose weight. when one is overweight, the impact on the knees and ankles is very high during running. brisk walking is a better exercise to lose weight (for overweight persons).
remember to do your stretches and warm-ups before your run and cool downs after your run. otherwise, you risk injury.
ps : happy new year....

I wasn't satisfied with Nike but switched brands a couple of times and back with Nike. Some people were telling me Saucony is best but it's hard to find in SG so I haven't got to try them yet.

ya i know.thanks so much.have been watching my diet...sigh.:cry:
I 2nd Asics shoes. I have worn out knees, collapsed arches, loose ankles and achilles tendonitis and have tried Nike, Addidas, Reebok and ONLY Asics served me well as I did not feel any pain in my knees and had less strain on my tendons after running. Just in case you guys are wondering why I have so many leg problems, I was an avid soccer player and serving the army was the final blow to my legs

Me too i used to have alot pain in the lower limbs thanks to old injuries and the Asics shoes actually cushion the impact we put our feet thru and ease the pain ALOT. so these are shoes that you should get your hands on if you can afford them. Nikes, Reeboks etc from the west dun do anything to help support your feet. Jeanie just to drive my point home, National Geographic had a program that explores the engineering behind shoes and they showed how much R&D goes into a pair of Asics...at one point they even showed the scientist dropping an egg from 3 floors above the padding they use the shoes. No crack whatsoever in the egg when it landed!
You can just ask the salesman instead of wasting bandwidth.
I was told by an orthopedist that the New Balance were among the best. To me, I still love Adidas.
Or to do it seriously try this :
From here
Steps
1Step OneDip a bare foot into water and step on a piece of paper placed on a hard surface.
2Step TwoTrace the outline of your foot with a pen.
3Step ThreeLook at the imprint left by the arch of your foot. If you have flat feet, you're probably an over-pronater. A medium arch indicates neutral pronation, and a high arch says supination (under-pronation).
4Step FourGo to a specialty running or sports store late in the day or after a run.
5Step FiveWear the socks you normally wear when you run, and bring in your old running shoes if possible. A good running-shoe salesperson can tell a lot by the wear of your old shoes, including pronation.
6Step SixGet both feet measured by a salesperson. Choose shoes that fit the larger foot.
7Step SevenTalk to the salesperson about the terrain you run on, the mileage you cover, and your pronation.
8Step EightTry on the shoes.
9Step NineStand up. Press your thumb into the top of the shoe, just above your longest toe. Your thumb should fit between the end of your toe and the end of the shoe.
10Step TenWiggle your toes. If you can't wiggle with ease, the toe box is too small.
11Step Eleven Feel the arch bump of the shoe. It should hit slightly toward the rear of your arch.
12Step Twelve Make sure your heel fits snugly and does not slide up and down as you walk or run.
13Step Thirteen Go for a test jog or walk around the store.
Tips & Warnings
Talk to a knowledgeable salesperson when selecting your shoes and try on more than one pair.
Try shoes one-half or one size larger than your street shoes.
Over-pronaters need shoes with motion control and a straight sole.
Neutral pronaters need shoes with stability and a semi-curved sole.
Under-pronaters need shoes with extra cushioning and a curved sole.
Don't judge a shoe by its price tag.
For best performance, wear your running shoes for running only. Replace them when needed - don't resole them.
Keep your shoes as dry as possible. Air-dry them after every use.
Improperly fitted shoes can lead to injury and pain.
Run short distances in your new shoes before attempting a long run
