AdiZero RC

5/5

Overall

The shoe has been outstanding for me. Currently, I am working on my fourth pair. I had found a shoe in the Hagio that kept me healthy, and the Boost models make my achilles cry. So imagine my disappointment when Adidas discontinued the Hagio's. But the Adizero RC has proven to be an even better choice. In spite of the thin outsole, the shoe has averaged about 500 miles before it needs to be replaced, significantly more than I would get out of the hagio. The midsole - particularly the forefoot - has held up exceptionally well, and the uppers hold up exceptionally well. The only drawback is having to order them from Great Britain, but the price is right. Great shoe, one of my all-time favorites.
