Running Lab Katong

Given the frequency of my runs, I was looking for a decent shoe bag to lug my runners about in. Wandered about the mall and browsed through the usual suspects — Adidas, Royal Sporting House and even New Balance to no avail. Either the shoe bags were ugly, expensive, or ugly and expensive. My final stop was Running Lab, and I didn’t have much hope. The outlet is spacious and minimalist looking, with a cement floor. Looked through the racks, and was a little surprised that gels were carried for serious runners, as well as other paraphernalia like fuel belts and shades. There’s even a treadmill thing that assesses one’s gait for proper shoe fitting! Looks like this place means business. Happily, I also found an sturdy shoe bag from Oxygen in an eye pleasing sky blue. It was handy with a thick strap across the top that made carrying a breeze. Also, it was affordable, cheaper than Adidas! This was a bit of a surprise, as I thought that a specialised shop might mean higher prices, but a good surprise of course.
