How it ranks
The adidas Solar Glide 5 trails most daily trainers in our data. Durability and looks are its strongest sub-ratings. The rating rests on 2 runner reviews and 2 other rated shoes in the Solar Glide product line. Another 10 reviews would set the confidence on this shoe's own reviews.
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.

Overall
Not a good shoe. Is okay for a little bit but after just a few miles you can notice that the cushioning is not enough for the average runner. They are heavy and clunky. They aren't very appealing to the eye. And from personal experience have been a contributing factor to injury.
