4/5
Overall
I have had three pairs and all have formed a minor hole in the toe box near the big toe... I have never had it happen before in any training shoe and I do not have any issues such as hammer toes, etc. I do not train for anything specifically, so I run just casual miles.
adidas has said they will stand behind the shoes.
