Overall

This is my third pair in this series of shoes and I have continued to buy it because of its responsiveness and high level of cushioning, particularly in the forefoot. I live near an Adidas Outlet Store, so was able to find them at a good price since they are an older model.

Overall

It's a light weight shoe and it fits like a glove my foot is not that wide so I'm not sure if someone with a wider foot would be comfortable in the shoe. I go through shoes pretty quick and only expect to get 1 to 1-1/2 months of running out of my shoes. I try to have more than one pair of shoes at one time.

Overall

The glide 5's are perfect for me. Not too heavy but not too light, and has enough cushioning to keep me injury-free. However, the inside of the lining on the right shoe always rips. Every single glide 5 I have had have ripped in the same spot.
