I am honored to be selected by Codoon to review Li-Ning running shoes. As a runner who doesn't have many running shoes, this has been a great help to me. I will be wearing these shoes in various upcoming marathons, trail runs, and triathlons.
I usually wear size 41 shoes, but considering I might run a marathon, I opted for size 42. Initially, they felt a bit long, but it didn't seem to affect my running. The main review for this pair of shoes was during the Chongqing Changshou Lake Triathlon, so I took them along for the race.
1. First of all, the shoes are very light, even lighter than my previous Nike and Asics shoes, making them very suitable for walking and running. The lightweight design reduces the burden on the feet.
2. The shoes come in a classic red and black color combination, which is easy to match with various outfits. The versatile and stylish design makes them suitable for all kinds of sportswear.
3. The soles are very soft and provide excellent cushioning for running, protecting the knee joints from impact. They also make running feel light and effortless. The functionality of the running shoes was evident during the race. Additionally, the slightly thicker soles can even add a bit of height. Just kidding!
4. The mesh upper is thin and breathable. During the triathlon, my feet were wet at the start, but the shoes dried quickly during the cycling stage, and I felt no discomfort during the running stage. This shows that the breathability is excellent. The materials used are quick-drying, making these shoes not only suitable for marathons but also for triathlons.
5. My previous running shoes were Nike, and their biggest issue was the extremely slippery soles. I almost slipped during a trail run once. So, I was concerned about the slip resistance of Li-Ning running shoes. I specifically tested them on wet cement, wet asphalt, and tiles, and they performed very well, preventing any injuries due to slippery surfaces.
6. These running shoes also have a technological feature. There is a hidden electronic chip in the sole that can sync with your phone via Bluetooth through a downloaded app. It records your exercise track, steps, step frequency, and many other functions, some of which I haven't fully explored yet. It's like having a toy to research new things while running. Haha.
In conclusion, I am very grateful to Codoon. Running has helped me lose over 30 pounds and allowed me to own high-tech running shoes that I couldn't afford. I even got the chance to meet an internet celebrity.
This time, I participated in the Chongqing Changshou Lake race, which went very smoothly. Next month, I plan to take these shoes to the first Ironman China race in Hefei, hoping they will bring me good luck and great results.
The last picture is a running review with an internet celebrity! I love sports, and I love Codoon.
