Running Shoes Under $150 Singapore (2026 Roundup)

You do not need to spend S$300 on carbon-plate racers to run well. As of mid-2026, the best running shoes under S$150 in Singapore is the ASICS Gel-Excite 10 at S$129, with the Adidas Duramo SL at S$87 as the best budget value pick. This roundup ranks every running shoe you can actually buy in Singapore for under S$150, with live prices from the BuyWhere product API across Lazada, Shopee, Amazon SG, and authorised retailers like Running Lab, Royal Sporting House, and World of Sports.

Quick answer (top 3 picks)

Rank	Model	Price (SGD)	Best for	Why
1	ASICS Gel-Excite 10	$129	Daily training	Best all-rounder, durable, comfortable
2	Adidas Duramo SL	$87	Budget entry	Cheapest quality daily trainer
3	New Balance Fresh Foam 680v13	$119	Beginners	Soft cushioning, wide fit

All three are available new in Singapore with local warranty. Prices below are the lowest confirmed on Lazada LazMall, Shopee Mall, Amazon SG, or brand stores as of 2026-07-06.

What to look for under S$150

Three things matter more than brand at this price:

1. Stack height and cushioning — Daily trainers at this price range from 24-36mm stack height. Higher means more cushioning for long, slow runs; lower means more ground feel and lighter weight for faster efforts.
2. Drop (heel-to-toe offset) — Most shoes here are 8-10mm drop. Lower drop (4-6mm) shifts load to the calves and Achilles; higher drop is easier on those muscles for beginners.
3. Durability vs weight tradeoff — Sub-S$150 shoes use denser foams that last 500-800km but feel firmer. Carbon-plated racers (S$250+) feel bouncier but wear out at 300-400km. At this price, durability wins.

Skip: "racing" shoes marketed at this price (they are not real racers), premium knit uppers that trap heat in Singapore's humidity, and shoes rated for supination/pronation marketing jargon without a gait analysis to back it up.

Best for specific needs

Best overall under S$150: ASICS Gel-Excite 10 ($129) — 28mm stack, durable AHAR rubber outsole, breathable engineered mesh upper suited to Singapore humidity. The strongest all-rounder at this price.

Best budget value: Adidas Duramo SL ($87) — At under S$90, the LIGHTMOTION midsole delivers real daily-trainer cushioning. Not as durable as the ASICS at 500km vs 800km, but unbeatable value for new runners.

Best for long slow runs: Puma Voyage Nitro 2 ($139) — 32mm of NITRO foam, 248g (lightest here), comfortable for 10km+ easy efforts. The Nitro foam holds up better in Singapore heat than cheaper EVA blends.

Best for beginners: New Balance Fresh Foam 680v13 ($119) — Soft Fresh Foam X, wide-toe-box fit (good for Asian foot shapes), forgiving 10mm drop. The easiest shoe to run in without gait analysis.

Best for stability / overpronation: Mizuno Wave Exceed Tour 3 ($139) — ENERZY foam + Wave plate provides mild stability without the brick-like feel of older stability shoes.

Best for tempo / track: XTEP 160X 2.0 ($79) — Lighter and firmer than the daily trainers here. A genuine budget option for faster efforts; less cushioned so not for long runs.

Cheapest quality daily trainer: Adidas Duramo SL ($87). Below S$100, the only shoe here we would run 20km+/week in.

Common mistakes

1. Buying by brand, not by fit. A S$129 Nike that pinches your toes is worse than a S$99 ASICS that fits. Get a gait analysis at Running Lab (free) before spending S$100+.
2. Buying a "racing flat" as a daily trainer. Shoes marketed as "lightweight" or "racing" at this price (XTEP 160X, some Nike Revolution variants) have less cushioning and wear out faster. Use them for tempo days only.
3. Ignoring Singapore humidity. Thick knit uppers (common on Nike Pegasus line) trap heat. Look for engineered mesh or thin knit. The ASICS Gel-Excite 10 and Adidas Duramo SL both breathe well.
4. Sizing down. Running shoes should be 0.5-1 size larger than your street shoes to account for foot swell on long runs. Buy a US 9 if you wear US 8.5 casual.
5. Buying last year's model at full price. The Gel-Excite 10 often drops to S$99 when the 11 launches. Check for "previous season" discounts — the spec change year-over-year is minor.

FAQ

Which running shoes under S$150 in Singapore are best for beginners?
The New Balance Fresh Foam 680v13 ($119) is the easiest shoe to start in — soft cushioning, wide fit, forgiving drop. The Adidas Duramo SL ($87) is the cheapest option we would recommend for a new runner doing under 15km/week.

Are ASICS better than Nike under S$150?
At this price, yes for serious running. The ASICS Gel-Excite 10 ($129) has better durability (AHAR rubber) and cushioning than the Nike Revolution 7 ($99), which is more suited to casual runs and gym work. Nike's better running shoes (Pegasus, Vomero) start at S$180+.

Can I use these for a half marathon?
Yes for finishing (not racing). The ASICS Gel-Excite 10 and Puma Voyage Nitro 2 have enough cushioning for 21km at easy pace. For a sub-2-hour goal, you would want a lighter shoe — but that means spending S$200+ on a carbon-plated racer.

How long do running shoes last?
500-800km for daily trainers at this price. The ASICS Gel-Excite 10 is on the durable end (800km); the Adidas Duramo SL is on the shorter end (500km). Replace when the outsole rubber wears smooth or the midsole compression feels permanent.

Should I get a gait analysis?
Yes if it is your first pair or you have had running injuries. Running Lab in Singapore offers free gait analysis with purchase. It tells you whether you need neutral, stability, or motion-control shoes — most runners are neutral and do not need stability shoes.

Are XTEP running shoes good?
XTEP is a Chinese brand with genuine running pedigree. The 160X 2.0 ($79) is a legitimate budget tempo shoe — light and firm. For daily training, the ASICS and Adidas options here are more durable and cushioned.
