The arch support, how comfy is the upper, the weight of shoe, the drop, etc.From your comments ¨C when I saw this material my first thought was hoping that they would license it and then it would show up in a pair of Hoka¡¯s.
My other question concerns a comparison with the Mizuon Wave Hitogami, since both these shoes seems to have similar usages. I only tried the Hitogami in a store, and loved the feel. In some ways, the Hitogami seems the polar opposite of the Adios to me: it has a stiff heal, and a soft, very cushioned forefoot. This is generally the kind of shoe I like, but then again the Adios works great for me ! How would you compare those too?Personally I prefer the adios over the Hitogami. Just a better match for my stride, though the Hitogami does fit a bit wider up front. As for sizing, if the 10.5 in the adios feels a bit long, you might be good staying with that in v2, particularly if you don¡¯t have wide feet.
That tight upper would definitely make them a racing shoe for me. I¡¯ll see how they work on my T-Pace session on Friday. I got almost 500 miles out of the non boost adios but only just over a 100 from the boost 1 before the upper tore to shreds! I¡¯ll be interested to see how the adios 2 plays out.I liked my Adios Boost 1s for racing (HM-M), but did find the drop just a bit too much ¨C I train more in pure connects. And now, I find that after 3 races, and not much training, that the soles are really wearing. The last HM I did in them gave me some ankle pain, which I think is because the sole wear is asymmetrical ¨C I¡¯ve never had that before. Grrrr!
Hey Peter, thank you so much for the great info. I just started training for my first NYC marathon and I just purchased the AB v1 in orange for $68.99 at the Runners Warehouse website.I wanted the AB v2 but I couldn¡¯t find them in my size in orange anywhere on the web. I usually wear a size 12 and got the v1 in a 12. I hope they are not too small. For quite a long time I¡¯ve avoided most any shoe over 8mm drop from heel to forefoot. However, a few months ago I bought a pair of New Balance 1400v2¡¯s after hearing positive things about them from friends (damn you John Schrup!). I never tried the 1400v1 because the drop was above my preferred range (I¡¯m a bit of a dropist), but I wound up loving the v2. I¡¯d go so far as to say that it¡¯s one of my favorite shoes of the year. I still have issues with other high drop shoes, and have come to realize that I can tolerat Adidas Superstar Uomo Vendita e a higher drop if a shoe is not overly stiff and the heel has some give.
The outsole of the adios Boost has plenty of rubber, so I suspect durability of the sole to be very good overall. As mentioned, the sole has good stiffness and is responsive ¨C I could see using it for races from the 5k to the marathon with no problem. There is a ¡°torsion system¡± which consists of a plastic web under the midfoot with three prongs extending forward under the forefoot ¨C these are likel Scarpe Adidas ZX Outlet Italia y responsible for the longitudinal stiffness you feel in this shoe.
