In September last year, the SAF unveiled its latest line up of PT shoes from New Balance and Asics, making it the sixth change since servicemen got the black “kungfu” shoes up until 1995.
A PT shoe change usually makes headlines and gets soldiers across generations talking about how the new models compare in comfort and design, judging by the number of news articles and discussion threads online.
On Feb 4, Defence Minister Ng Eng Hen posted a video on Facebook of him trying out the new New Balance and Asics shoes. His verdict: “Tried both and like them very much.”
But beyond the views of individuals, how exactly does the SAF choose its PT shoes?
It all starts with an open tender detailing a set of technical requirements for the new shoes, Military Expert (ME) 6 John Tan, head of the System Development Branch at HQ Supply, told CNA on Thursday (Mar 17).
These requirements will consider past feedback on the current shoes and technological advancements on the market, and include how durable and safe the new shoe must be.
