Overall

As a high school xc runner, this shoe was pretty much a do it all trainer. The durability is amazing. 400 miles on it and it still looks and feels great. I could probably use it for xc and indoor track if I had to. Definitely less firm than the last iteration of the Adizero SL. Not the most cushioning out there, but I wouldn't say it is uncomfortable by any means.

Great upgrade

I've had three pairs of Adizero SL 1's and the version 2 is a welcome upgrade. Softer foam and the superfoam they included covers more of the shoe. I'm at close to 400 miles on mine and they still feel good on my feet. Would not recommend for heavy heel strikers.

Great Daily Trainer - Comfortable and Reliable

Overall

Great shoe for my daily runs. Good durability through 450 miles of road and trails so far, but nearing end of my useage. Doesn't feel especially quick compared to preferred speedwork shoes (eg. Adios Pro's, Boston 12's, or even my Adios 6's), but good comfortable shoe for putting in normal mileage - and fine for occasional faster runs.
