Some shoes have multiple versions of what is essentially the same shoe, with variations in style or materials. We try to group these together. Retailers sometimes list a version number wrong, and our system can treat those mislabeled names as variants.
How it ranks
The adidas adizero Evo SL is one of the strongest daily trainers in our data. Cushioning and comfort are its strongest sub-ratings. Durability scores well below its other sub-ratings. 100% of reviewers would buy it again, above the average for daily trainers. The rating rests on 22 runner reviews.
Excellent
Confidence
How settled the rating is against every other rated shoe. A shoe can rate high on confidence with relatively few reviews of its own when its product line has a long record and external ratings from retailer sites agree. Confidence will score low when we have few ratings or when runners disagree.
Confidence
90/100
What runners say
“Light, bouncy, cushioned and good past 400 miles”
“Lateral stability is a little lacking so they have to be toed very tight during track work”
“Premium foam and a quick daily trainer that'll last just as long as a max cushion shoe”
“For running at 5k or faster it feels like too much shoe—the midsole starts to feel chunky at speed”
“On the track and faster workouts it did not have as much traction as desired”
“Best bang for buck shoe on the market”
“Balances cushion with responsiveness”
“Mesh upper is extremely breathable”
“Tongue is not very high quality and doesn't fully wrap around the foot”
“Size down half a size if you have narrow feet”
