How it ranks
The adidas adizero SL2 trails most daily trainers in our data. Value and durability are its strongest sub-ratings. Comfort scores well below its other sub-ratings. The rating is based on 32 runner reviews.

“Durability is brilliant with little wear for the mileage”
“The durability is amazing. 400 miles on it and it still looks and feels great.”
“The rubber on the inside of the left heel is peeling off after less than 50 miles”
“I'm at close to 400 miles on mine and they still feel good on my feet.”
“Very firm ride but this made it last a long time and still feel good at 400 miles”
“Good durability through 450 miles of road and trails so far, but nearing end of my usage.”
“Midsole loses its spring/structure in ~3 months at 50-60 mpw”
“Softer foam and the superfoam they included covers more of the shoe.”
“The outer sole isn't great though—looks like 3-4 layers and wears badly”
“Would not recommend for heavy heel strikers.”
“Laces are slippery and frequently come undone (even when tightly tied)”
“Definitely less firm than the last iteration of the Adizero SL.”
“As the run goes longer, the cushioning goes away”
“Doesn't feel especially quick compared to preferred speedwork shoes.”
“Does run a little small though”
“Good fit, firm sole, more responsive than the ultraboost.”
“Think they'll last to 400, maybe 450-500 miles”
“Not the most cushioning out there, but I wouldn't say it is uncomfortable by any means.”
“Light and responsive due to the light strike running through the shoe”
“Just takes a bit to break in.”
“Cushioning is good. It helps with my tendonitis”
“300 miles with moderate wear at 200lbs”
“Lightweight but lacks rigidity”
“Post run fatigue I feel is improved on previous models”
“The upper isn't snug but you can lace it up tight if you want”

4/5
Overall
As a high school xc runner, this shoe was pretty much a do it all trainer. The durability is amazing. 400 miles on it and it still looks and feels great. I could probably use it for xc and indoor track if I had to. Definitely less firm than the last iteration of the Adizero SL. Not the most cushioning out there, but I wouldn't say it is uncomfortable by any means.

Overall
I've had three pairs of Adizero SL 1's and the version 2 is a welcome upgrade. Softer foam and the superfoam they included covers more of the shoe. I'm at close to 400 miles on mine and they still feel good on my feet. Would not recommend for heavy heel strikers.
