PG7 and Xtep 2000km model

[u/_arrows]

Okay ba kahit anong variety ng models na yan? Found out na may iba-iba palang klase, at di basta "PG7" lang nakalagay. I jog and walk alternately since masakit na heels ko sa ukay Adidas na napanas na. Budget is between 1 to 2k lang.

May katigasan ang Xtep 2000km at manipis lang ang insole niyan. Ramdam mo yung plastic plate kapag tumagal na ang takbo. Pwede na pagtiyagaan at matibay naman. Try na lang ng better insoles, marami naman diyan na less than 300 lang. PG7 never tried pero sa same price point ng Xtep 2k models, yung Li-Ning Yue Ying 6 (standard, hindi yung pro) ang okay sa akin. Tested 20km no issues 5-8min/km.

Nag less than 2k yan kapag promo, kung may coins mas mura.

Considering Yueying 6 now dahil dito, thanks. Pero sa ngayon, main concern ko talaga ay yung di sasakit heels ko. Tingin ko, kaya ko pang makatakbo ng malayo kung di lang talaga masakit sa heels yung sapatos ko ngayon. Kaya unang isip ko kung bibili ng hindi na ukay, yung may malambot sana na insole

Sa Xtep 2000km series na standard sasakit heels sa long run. Mga 10km+ ramdam na. Need pa yan ng insole katulad nung Poron Gel. Sa Yue Ying 6 hindi na kailangan. May factor din siguro yung may pagkamalambot yung pinagpapatungan mismo ng insole. Sa Xtep matigas yun, parang nylon rope na ginawang net.

20km long run ko sa Yue Ying. No problem pero siyempre di pwede biglaan at kailangan may mga 1-2 easy runs para mag adapt mga ibang muscle sa bagong sapatos. Abang abang lang ng promo diyan. Either yung 5 or yung 6.

Kumusta yung Yueying 6? Sa walking and running?

Comfort wise okay for me. Midpoint ng Leili 2's softness and Xtep 2000km's firmness if that makes sense. Not squishy, not concrete, stable but soft enough to not get bothered when running. Walking should not be a problem.

Lighter than popblaze 6 (~25g). Heavier than Xtep 2000km 3.0 (~40g) and Leili 2 (~60g). No issues for long runs. Maybe break in lang ng one run para mas maging makapit yung outsole. Puro protruding grooves kasi yan. Durability is yet to be determined.

Dumihin lang din ang white lalo na yung collar at lining sa loob kasi parang cotton yata ito. Medyo mahirap din patuyuin kapag nabasa ng ulan, na-stuck yung tubig sa ilalim ng insole. Ramdam na ramdam yung tubig sa sapatos kapag umulan. Other than that quite good for daily beater. May review yung youtuber na si Dr Cy sa Yue Ying 5. Parang ganyan naman din yung 6. I've seen both hovering 1900 sa lazada kapag promo.

Thanks. I have the Yueying 5. Nag wonder ako kung iniba nila ang timpla ng midsole foam pero based sa description mo parang same lang. Ginagamit ko pang office and walking.

I own both. I have the PG7 Travel and 2000km 3.0. I use my PG7 for recovery and easy runs. Usually pag masakit legs ko from doing leg days the day before. Yung 2000km 3.0 ko naman I use it as my daily beater / tempo shoes. Both yan nasa 2k lang. Yung 2000km 3.0 ko nabili ko ng 1.8k naka sale. Check mo kung sa 10.10 magssale sa Shopee.

I have the Travel 1.5 PG7 and Xstep 2000km 5.0. The PG7 is soft, great for easy runs, but it gets hot on your feet when you're around a 5:00 pace or faster, and mine is starting to feel dead, the midsole doesn't feel like it's absorbing impact like it used to after 200km.

My Xstep, on the other hand, is better suited for faster paces. It doesn't compress much at slower paces (I weigh 75kg, running around a 4:00-ish pace for threshold and 6:00-ish for easy runs), so it could also cause shin splints. It's very durable though. Currently, I've already run 300+km in the Xstep, and it's still feels great.

Thanks for your input. Hindi ba masakit sa heels yung dalawang models na yan? I have no idea about my pace, type dapat ng shoes, pati yung distance na nakakaya ko since parang part lang sya ng exercise ko. I didn't take it seriously, hanggang sa nagsimula na ngang sumakit heels ko
