not tight enough duramo 9s

4/5

Overall

I bought my duramo 9s at a discount at the adidas shop in asuncion last month, my first pair of adidas, and i've been using then in a lot on my ever shrinking list of runs in the last days due to injury and ive come to realize that even tho it's cushoning feels just so soft and easy when walking, this shoes are weird, every time i adjust the laces for a run the shoe remains not tight enough so it keeps unstable during the run, so i keep tightening them up untill the laces start to annoyme but even then the shoe is still not fit enough. this is the first time it happens since i always run in 11.5 nikes,
