Decathlon - KS 900 Light

I have a bunch of shirts and half-tights, they're fine. I've also got two pairs of Kiprun shoes. One is their KS 900 light, I use them exclusively for on my treadmill (basically so I don't get my belt filthy). They're great for that, but they also feel like they would perform well enough on simple runs. Nothing special though. The other pair is the KD900X.2. They're basically €100 carbon plates. I have no other experience with carbon plates and I only use these for the occasional tempo run or sprint training. But these feel fantastic, and decently made. I've had them for two months and haven't put tons of distance on them yet, but putting them through their paces has been a good time so far. For context, my every-day stompers have been NB 860’s since the dawn of existence because I have somewhat flimsy ankles. They last me 750-800 km a pair. I have no idea of the Kiprun shoes will last that long, but both pairs together cost about the same amount as one pair of NB's, so I won't judge them too harshly.

I have the same shoes and problem, i never liked my nb5 🤣 But since you are already using kiprun kd900x.2, then you should use the kiprun kipcore for your daily runs and kipride max for lsd My current shoe rotation is ks900.2 when i need disciplined/form runs, kipcore for my easy days and kipride max for my lsds

Yeah, Kiprun is worth a try if it feels comfortable. Asics Jolt or Jog 100 are also solid beginner options. Fit matters more than the brand so go with whatever feels easiest on your feet.

Im 47 (m) and on over 1500miles for 2025. Decathlon 'kiprun' have changed my life... unreal quality and best price in the market. I use Hoka GTX for winter runs but if its dry where you are, kiprun are unbeatable. Good luck

Honestly, the Kalenji is the best in here that's light on the feet and the pocket. It's very very very comfortable and long lasting. The easiest to wash, dries quickly. Complete all rounder.

Het zijn nu heel andere modellen maar heb bij 3 van de 4 paar die ik van Decathlon (Kalenji en Kiprun) heb gehad een prima ervaring. Mijn eerste paar in 2015 waren in de €30 range, heb daar 600 km mee gedaan en daarna nog lang gebruikt als casual/werk schoenen. Zelf vooral walk/run en korte loopjes gedaan, maar hebben ook meerdere 3-uurs halve marathons overleefd. Ik merkte wel een groot verschil toen ik naar de €70 (en daarna €90) range ging dus wel echt de moeite waard om de budget iets te vergroten. De ene paar die voor mij niet werkte was de allergoedkoopste van 12 euro die ze blijkbaar nog hebben, vrijwel geen demping, maar dat was in 2017. Het belangrijkste is dat ze fijn zitten wat voor mij het geval was, dus ik heb ook wel geluk gehad, ik loop neutraal met 60-65kg en loop heel veel rustig/op karakter. Ik merk dat ik nu weer wat onzekerder loop in de A merken dus ben zelf stiekem weer aan het kijken of ik terug wil naar Decathlon schoenen.
