What runners say
“Amazing comfort (past lower leg/nagging achilles issues are gone).”
“Very comfortable and good toe box room but mid and heel fits a narrow foot.”
“Boost is super cushy, great for general training, but too soft for racing.”
“I thought they'd be too thin and hurt my feet but the foam is both firm and easy on the feet.”
“I love how the lacing works and makes them really hug your feet perfectly.”
“The Adios has a snug fit through heel and midfoot, with enough space in toe box.”
“I expect to get little more than 250 miles out of this shoe.”
“Fast shoe that is comfortable and more padded than other racing flats.”
“Other brands wear out in 1.5 months.”
“Maybe not responsive enough for faster days or racing, a little too soft.”
“The first three pairs probably did 3200km between them.”
“The boost performed terrifically for this terrain.”
“Adidas shoes have a tight fit, so they always felt a bit snug.”
“These shoes wear out quick if you are hard on them speed wise.”

“This shoe was the one with the most pop behind it.”
“I've put 300+ miles on two pair of shoes.”
“The bottom of the shoe wears down too quickly.”
“For a half marathon I find them too hard.”
“The flat might be a little too narrow for some feet.”
“The uppers do eventually tear.”
“The adios is more of a racing flat than a traditional running shoe.”
