5/5

Overall

Rather amazed at trying on an Adidas shoe that was comfortable, I decided I'd buy a pair (I worked at a running shoe store at the time so I got a nice discount that made the purchasing of a $130 shoe possible). I've been running in it since July and have no complaints so far. I'm a pretty neutral runner, but I've grown up running in a million iterations of the Asics 2000, 2100, and again 2000 series. I always liked those shoes and the posting on the shoe has never impeded my running that I know of. I've run in neutral shoes and "guidance" shoes as well and can't say I've noticed that much of a difference. One thing I will say, when I'm out of shape, I vastly prefer running in stability shoes. When I'm in very good shape, it doesn't matter too much what I put on my feet.
