Brooks: Trade-In Your Old Shoes For RM150

Many of us runners has many shoes for different purposes. Some of us has more than "just 3 pairs" that we use for training, race or even as a spare. Rule of thumbs dictates that each pair should be replaced after 500-700km of run - and on the legs of a high mileage runner, that could easily meant one new pair every quarter.

My Arsenals of Gears

Apart from the above, I have retired 3 other shoes over the period of 6 months due to "over-distance". Not being a sponsored amateur athlete forces me to utilise each pair until the very last meter. 

Looking at my "mileage" above, My Brooks Cascadia5 and Ghost3 will be due for retirement soon. Throwing them away would be a waste and I am constantly looking for a bargain. So when i found out that Brooks Malaysia is offering a "trade in your shoe" campaign - my eyes lit up.

RM150 trade in offer!

So, if you have a pair or two (or three) shoes laying around that needed replacement, or that wrongly bought shoes that fitted you so badly, perhaps it is time to head over to Brooks outlet in Malaysia and get the RM150 trade in to purchase other shoes. The trained product specialist would be able to assist with the correct type so you can Run Happy again. If you do not know or not aware of the pricing structure of Brooks shoes, they average about RM375/pair (with some coming in slightly less than RM350 and some as expensive as RM499). For that price (before discount of RM150), you are getting a FUNCTIONAL running shoes and not just a FASHION shoe. I am a Brooks convert, so is wifey.

The varities to suit!

This campaign runs for the whole of September (1st to 30th, both days included) and at participating outlets only. Correct at this point of writing, it is at all Brooks outlet. If in doubt, please contact BrooksMalaysia@gmail.com
