Toying with the idea of an adidas. I have an asics GEL-1090 now and I love it. It fits well; it is light; and it gives sufficient cushioning. The pic below is a shot of my running shoes hanging out with my office dustbin while I blog at work.
My asics are a year and a half old and quite worn out as it is my only pair and I wear them a lot for both running and non-running purposes. There are little holes in my right shoe where the toes flex upwards, and it has been feeling a little "flat".
Adidas has a new customisable shoe called mi-adidas where they measure each foot individually, determine your gait, and let you print your name, etc. (See yewjin's account of his session; he got a free shoe just by blogging about it, wah lau!) Moi-Carine's new shoe is an Adidas Adistar Cushion; Renohtaram's new shoe is the Adidas Supernova Cushion. S's shoe is also a Supernova Cushion – you can find a runner's world review in the linked post. Moi-Carine is the queen of excellent shoe reviews though – see it here and here.
So I'm thinking that I may get either the supernova or the adistar, if they fit alright, or stick with the asics if they don't. From what I have read so far, the Asics-1090 has a dual-density sole (stability shoe) while the supernova and the adistar is a cushion shoe. I guess I will have to see which fits better. How exciting. :)

I'm planning to do a bit of running on a machine at the club's gym but being a complete newbie don't know what shoes to buy and where to buy them at the best (meaning cheapest) price. I've been told Queensway but no specific shop name. Any advice, please? TQ!
Hi, queensway gives the best price undoubtedly, but it has terrible service. Any of the shops on the ground floor would give you a fair price.
The most important thing is to figure out what kind of foot type you have (see carine's post) and then go from there. I'm not an expert myself. Maybe you would like to ask the expert runners in this blog.
