Comfortable City Cruiser #UltraBoost19

I walked 10k, stopped four times for a drink and my legs were longing for a thai massage. No, I am not talking about my last 10k cityrun, but rather about my last citywalk through Singapore.

16,017 steps and 10.8km – the yield of four hours sightseeing in the city of future.

82% of all Germans wear the wrong shoes – too big, too small or too tight. This is the result of the German Foot Report years ago.

It doesn’t matter, weather you go for a 10k rund or a 10k walk, you should definitely pay attention to the right footwear. It’s worth it.

When I talked to Philipp Pflieger this summer, one of the fastest marathon runners in Germany, I realized this once again.

“The Ultra Boost 19 is definitely a running shoe but I can’t recommend this shoe for a long distance run. The soft Ultra Boost sole feels comfortable on short distances , but for longer distances you should definitely change to another model – unless you are doing a city walk, when distance doesn’t matter ;).”

To be honest, I will never run a marathon or even a half marathon in my life. I am a tennis player. I need lines, a net and definitly a 1:1 competition. But 10k are worthwile for getting fit before the seaoson or for a city walk – preferably in Singapore 😉

After I had already done several short distance runs with my Ultra Boost >> read more , I followed Philipp’s advice and walked with my the Ultra Boost 19 across Singapore.

Conclusion: Almost 16.000 steps and 10k later, my legs and feet feel “better” than after a walk with flip flops or sneaker.
