Customer Reviews

Surprisingly shock-absorbing
I found this shoe quite stable and surprisingly shock-absorbing. I usually buy my adidas size 10, but this was a tad larger than other adidas size 10. So beware and buy it 1/2 a size smaller than you usually buy your adidas.
A very good running shoe overall!

ADIDAS!!!
I LOVE THESE SHOES!!! they are comfortable, I got them for a good price and they look really good!!!!

Lightweight running shoe
Adidas has three types of shoes for their "Ride" shock absorption running shoes; the Gigaride, Megaride, and this - the Microride. Microride outsole consists of smaller sized absorption grooves (aka Nike Shox lookalike). Gigarides and Megarides emphasize shock absorption. Microride is more concerned with weight, it seems like.

There are also two models of Microride, one with full fabric top, another with synthetic leather construction. This one is the full fabric, which is supposed to be soft, and also lighter. (The synthetic leather is supposed to be more durable.)

Anyway, with the combination of Microride and full mesh top, this shoe is low and very light. I can't find a number anywhere, but once started running, the shoes feel like featherweight. The impact is a little bit harder, due to less shock absorption, so it's probably more of a treadmill shoe than trails. Overall, though, very comfortable. It's my first time with running shoes this light and I like it. With these, I achieved my fastest pace ever with less effort than I would have expected.

A couple of things I did notice: the size is on the narrow/small side (compared to my Nikes), and the back heel support is a bit hard/tall for my liking. The white version gets dirty quickly. Running was good, but walking on wet road experienced slight slippage. Also, the workmanship leaves a bit to be desired.
