I have always had good luck with adidas shoes. From the old "Ride" to the "Supernova Cushion", now to the "Glide" series, these shoes have worn well, performed well, and the cost has always been reasonable.

Overall
I have been wearing this model and the older models for some time now. It is a decent shoe color scheme is boring but the shoe lasts for some time. However I tried the Boost version and what it gains in durability it loses in comfort. Can't have it all.
