    Are generic runners really a bargain at $30?

    • pdtmathieson on 05/08/2020 - 10:27

      I don't know who is going to buy them… The whole point of a 'brand' is that you know what they are about and have a decent understanding of what the quality might be, because there is no way to tell while in a shop how long they will last or how comfortable they will stay.

    • Hinee on 05/08/2020 - 10:40

      Okay deal has been massively updated now. Is the spin bike or boxing bag a good deal as well? IMO there is never any shortage of well intentioned people with punching bags they're looking to sell on the cheap.

    • mrwindow on 05/08/2020 - 11:07

      If only I wasn't an 11.5…sadly I'll have to let this one pass me by. Farewel adult premium runners

    • beatsntoons on 05/08/2020 - 11:22

      I think so. I mean if you're a serious runner, you should be replacing your shoes probably every 6 months or so (not valid for casual 5km once a week runners). With these you can buy quite a few for the same price as a big name brand.

      • Kozhutki on 05/08/2020 - 12:16

        If you're a serious runner you're still going to be buying branded shoes otherwise your feet will be absolutely (profanity). So while you can buy a few pairs as you suggest, the quality and ergonomics of them are in no way comparable to a reputable brand.

              @Kozhutki: Thats not really relevant to the point at hand, whats your evidence that running in these shoes will damage your feet.

          • pdtmathieson on 06/08/2020 - 13:33

            @Mrgreenz: The point here is that you dont know - there is no way to know how long these will last or the damage they will do to you until the has happened. The point of a brand is that you have the experience with that product knowing it will provide a certain utility (overpriced or not).

          Not necessarily true.
          There's been a number of studies that suggest over-engineered running shoes may actually result in more foot injuries.
          The whole minimalist running shoe movement came about for this reason.
          If you are interested, Christopher Mcdougall's 'Born To Run' is a great read.
          See also : https://theconversation.com/expensive-running-shoes-dont-pre…
          Having said that, I tried moving over to more minimalist shoe a few years back and although my form and speed improved, I ended up with an ankle injury.
          My podiatrist's take on it was that the science of minimalist running shoes is sound, but if you've been running for years in supportive shoes, you're better off sticking with them as you'll more than likely get more injuries trying to switch.

    • CheeryCheapskate on 05/08/2020 - 12:40

      I bought two pairs last time and am a regular runner (I'm a sprinter). It's a decent pair of shoes but I'd probably only recommend it for short distances i.e. I'd recommend 5km or less runs. It felt fine to me and I would buy these again (In the past I'd buy Nike, Brookes and Asics but go through them too quickly that it was too costly).

      • BadHorse on 05/08/2020 - 13:28

        Yeah could see them being okay for short slow easy running.

        Ambitious of them to call it premium though. I like their optimism

    • Antikythera on 15/08/2020 - 13:37

      its excellent.

      my sister is a nurse and has one herself. I asked the other day when i saw this sale how much she paid for hers and if she thought the aldi one would be decent. turns out she bought an Aldi one in the past. She highly recommended it which got me over the line. My fitbit knockoff is absolutely useless in comparison. Doesn't even do heart rate correctly.

      I bought it this morning and used it to test it out. It gives the same reading my Dr. has been getting when I visit.

      • franco cozzo on 17/08/2020 - 05:15

        …managed to get one yesterday at my local. havent unpacked it yet..sounds promising
        was lucky to get one at all…had to ask at the counter. i think they were down to the last couple of units

          had to ask at the counter

          none on the floor at my store. they had them locked in a security cabinet at the front of the store with other high value but small items. I was walking out after checking the floor displays when I noticed the cabinet. lucky I saw them as normally exit the other way.

          • franco cozzo on 17/08/2020 - 09:49

            @Antikythera: set it up and tried it this morning….very good value for the dollars!

        • CrypticM on 05/08/2020 - 21:15

          i got this opinion from a friend who is into spin classes, for basic home use, minimum should be 18-20 kg. for serious use should be above 20kg. I personally have spin bike Model SPG 210. solid bike and its great.

          while normal people doing the right thing get fined

          The BLM organisers were also fined.

          blamed for the spread of covid.

          The BLM protests occurred at all of the capital cities in each State. Why is it only Victoria that has seen a huge spike then?

            +1

            @brotherfranciz: The bias lies in that we hear of multiple people at private gatherings being fined, yet only a couple of BLM organisers of much larger protests get fined. Everyone attending should be locked up and/or fined not just a couple of organisers.

            The reason why only VIC had a spike is twofold. 1. Because Andrews got it wrong from the beginning, but also gave certain protected individuals a free pass while blaming everyone else. 2. This: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IxoFZP-cg2k

    I was at my local store the minute they opened, and they were already sold out. Asked a staff member, and was told they'd been put aside for people who called up to reserve them. Tried a couple other stores, but obviously by the time I got there they were out of stock too.

    I don't know why I ever bother with the big ticket special buys, it's always a complete f**king waste of time.

    • Arthur Dunger on 15/08/2020 - 10:38

      This doesn't make any sense. If you were able to reserve special buys over the phone then why would anyone bother getting there early waiting in line? They would just sleep in and go to Aldi when they are ready.

      Also I just googled my local Aldi & can't find a phone number. The "Contact Us" page says

      Special Buys™ enquiries

      We’re proud to offer Special Buys™. But providing such great products at such low prices means streamlining our stores; and that includes not being able to provide special buys availabilities over the phone. To be sure you don’t miss out, we recommend visiting ALDI as early as possible when a new Special Buys™ range goes on sale everyday Wednesday or Saturday to avoid disappointment.

      • gilbarc on 15/08/2020 - 11:04

        Thanks for the heads up about that policy. I'm going to put in a complaint, they're clearly not following it.
