Fast, Stylish Shoe

Anonymous runner · Aug 14, 2019

4/5

Overall

I really liked the 7. The 8 seems to have less cushion and is really hard to get on. The previous version felt good when running fast but the latest versions don't seem as responsive. I would recommend the shoe as a good cheap trainer but will likely not be purchasing another pair.

Great Shoe

Anonymous runner · Jan 3, 2018

4/5

Overall

The Adidas Adizero Tempo 8 was fantastic. It was comfortable, springy, had just the right amount of support to combine with the slightly less Boost Material than other lines of Adidas shoes. This is one of two pairs of shoes I've owned where the sides did not split open from my slightly wider feet. Nice feeling, could be considered a racing flat by conservative shoe experts, but I think it's a great trainer, especially for faster work on the roads or trails.
