My mulebuy orders finally arrived this week.
Curiously, the ones that I ordered with all packaging removed arrived before the one that I kept in the shoe box. The shoes still come in a well packed box so there's really no reason to not select this option before shipping to save money and potentially time as well.
Red Hare 8 Pro - insane value for 30 quid, 215g in my size 41, yet still well cushioned and with good foam, not the crap you see in similar sub-£100 trainers from western brands.
Feidan challenger 5 - £40 gets you a shoe that weighs the same as a vaporfly 2 and is arguably just as propulsive, though the foam is a little firmer than ZoomX I suspect it is far more durable.
Do win PB Pro - £95 for a 145g hypershoe with a carbon plate and a massive slab of ATPU. 20g lighter than the Fast R-3, which was already super light and cost nearly £300 is unreal. Haven't ran in it yet so not sure if it is as propulsive as the FR3 but it already feels kinder on my achilles and calf than the latter just testing it around the house.
Now that I know mulebuy is legit I've just ordered two pairs of Dynafish Xiaonian's and Red Hares to keep my rotation ticking over for another year at least.
I just did my first Mulebuy order - I did the Red Hare 8 Pro - the shoes cost about 30$ but then the shipping was eventually $32 - did I do something wrong with the order? I thought it was a great deal, and I'm sure it's still not terrible, but the price doubled after shipping. Thanks in advance for any guidance!
