<p><span style="font-size: 15.6px;">On Sunday, I ran my first race in Brooks shoes since the late 90's. I used the T6 race-shoe (left).

<p><span style="font-size: 15.6px;">On Sunday, I ran my first race in Brooks shoes since the late 90's. I used the T6 race-shoe (left). In size 25 (my size) it is 166g, much heavier than my previous racing shoes, the Sortie Magic, who hit the scales at a mere 102g! However, the additional weight did not slow me down, actually, it seems my feet like the curved platform, in general the shoe reminds me of the legendary Karhu Titan Synchron TBA of the mid-80's. Especially, I like the snug fit around the back of the foot, the shoe feels stable, but not at all heavy. Definitely a contributing factor to the good result in the race at Ota-ku!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 15.6px;">On the right side, you see the Green Silence, made from biodegradable materials, it weighs 184g, so it could be used for racing, but for me, it is more a training-shoe. The asymmetric design irritated me in the beginning, but after getting used, the shoe feels great! Thanks, Brooks!</span></p>

<p>Mizuno ( Japanese maker ) was my sponser when I was in Uni .</p>
<p> So I got many shoes and jakests, The design and functions were for athletes,</p>
<p>And I made PB of 1500m,3000m 5000m .</p>
<p> </p>
<p>But I haven't wore it for long time, because I am not athlete , only Shimin runner (non pro)</p>
<p>Now I wear Books shoes.</p>
