Mustbuy Mile21K Running Shoes Conscientious Production Cost Effective
Southern Dawn
First of all, thanks to Codoon. From application to confirmation of the list to receiving the shoes, it took less than ten days in total. Thanks to Codoon's efficiency.
When I received the package, I was first shocked by the packaging. With nearly ten years of online shopping experience, it was the first time I saw this kind of inflatable cushioning packaging. Without using any sharp tools, it was really impossible to break it with just fingers.
After unboxing, the shoe box was intact, unlike some shoes bought from certain websites where the shoe box was so damaged that it had to be thrown away.
The shoe box packaging was also eye-catching. The white base with purple characters transformed the Chinese characters and pinyin of Bimai, making it simple and elegant overall. Opening the shoe box, wow, even though I had seen pictures online, seeing the actual product still felt a bit too flashy. Green sole, purple mesh, pink edges with pink laces, as a big guy, would it be too much for me to wear?
After listening to the editor's introduction, I added half a size. After putting them on, there was still half a finger's distance. The shoes use reflective material all around, and the reflective effect is okay, not particularly excellent.
Each shoe weighs around 350 grams, much heavier than the Boost shoes I wore before, with a very thick sole.
Removing the insole reveals that the entire bottom of the shoe is made of white ball-shaped BOOM rebound material, which feels like Adidas' Boost, with very good elasticity.
The insole uses Ortholite technology (according to the official website), with a loose, porous, rough surface, making the insole soft and not easy to flatten. The insole uses hemp technology throughout, which is deodorizing and antibacterial, but this needs to be tested.
The midsole uses a double-layer, dual-density design, with the upper layer being softer and the lower layer harder. This can help some runners correct poor running posture, reduce impact, and convert it into effective rebound, providing cushioning.
The arch area uses an ARCH SUPPORT TPU support piece. TPU is a thermoplastic elastic rubber that not only provides strong support and effective foot protection but also allows runners to flexibly handle various terrains. The entire sole uses a horizontal groove design, with the forefoot using LITE RB lightweight rubber and the heavily worn rear foot area using DURA RB wear-resistant rubber.

Actual evaluation:
1. The shoes feel hard on the feet and rub the ankles a bit when walking.
2. Tested on a rubber track and road running, the shoes felt good while running, with good rebound. After running fifteen kilometers, they still felt very bouncy, and the new shoes did not require breaking in.
3. Recently, there has been no rain or snow in Xi'an, and the road is dry, so the anti-slip performance of the sole needs further testing.
4. The wrapping and support are quite good, at least for someone weighing 150 pounds like me.
5. The breathability is very good, without feeling like my feet are burning or cold.
6. The wear resistance needs some criticism. The wear-resistant rubber is honestly average. I hope the manufacturer continues to improve. After running 50 kilometers, half of which was on a rubber track, the rear foot rubber has worn off a lot. Is it because I weigh too much?
In summary: The Bimai 21K second-generation running shoes have a high cost-performance ratio, suitable for jogging training and daily wear. However, the wear resistance and anti-slip performance need further improvement.
