Adidas Best Racing Shoe For Marathons and half. Love how cushion and stable of a ride it is. I overpronate at slower paces or near the end of the marathon and this shoe is very stable for a SuperShoe. Wide Heel and Energy rods keep my ankle from rolling in.Highly recommend this shoe for the marathon. IT really rolls you on your toes and keeps you moving fast. I run a 3:30 marathon and looking to run 3:20 next race and this is my pick.i also love that it is not super squishy. It is soft without the sinking in feeling. Its just really comfortable with a great rocker. Plus it is probably top 2 best looking shoe .(i like the pro3 as the best.)

This is my third carbon plated shoe and it might be my favorite over what are considered the kings of the category. The stability at easy paces is top notch. I tried out heel striking just for kicks, and didn't notice any wobbliness, either. Marathon and half marathon paces were easy to hold, but it did take a few minutes to really lock in my half marathon pace, as I was going about 20 seconds faster than I wanted to. My only knock on the shoe was the fit on my right foot. The heel slippage was a bit much during my first run and the tongue rubbed a bloody mess into the front of my ankle. I was able to mess with the lacing and fix it the next time out, but the heel hold was noted by many "shoe-tubers" and should be kept in mind. It's an issue, but not one without an ... MoreThis is my third carbon plated shoe and it might be my favorite over what are considered the kings of the category.

I mostly use these for 10K and 10 miles road races. Sometimes on the track.They're fast!!! I went out 15 seconds too fast in my last 10K. I was too busy looking for room and was quite surprised at the one mile mark.Noticeably faster splits when I use these on the track.Definitely make my legs last longer too. Cuts my time down by 4-5%.Yes - they can chew up socks. First time out the toes of my socks were shredded. I sized up half a size and found a sock with a more durable fiber that also grips to my shoes - perfection!

I had the Pro 2 shoes before these and using them daily was able to increase my mileage from 30 to 55 weekly. Pro 3s are even better. If used daily they will save your legs enabling you to train harder. Fantastic shoe, don't save them for race day as they wear really well compared to other super shoes due to the Continental rubber outsole.
I like them a lot! Only thing is that I have to tape my Achilles to avoid rubbing issue… love the outsole and insole. The lace can take a bit to figure out but else than at my heel I have no upper rubbing problem! They look very cool! I’m typically 6,5 women for a long run shoes and they maybe run a bit long! But overall I’m very happy about them
Well, looking for the next great super shoe and these are not it. The upper is an absolute disaster, so rough that it literally tears into your socks, and it's really hard to get a good lock down. Also, the heel collar is brutal as well, first, the bumpers seem to be a bit too high and they are so rough. If you hit the rear of the heel collar it slices into your achilles. I do like the cushioning, but, these are suppose to be the most stable in this line, and going around corners you really have to slow down. Good heel to toe transition, but I'm sticking with my Vaporflys for racing. I couldn't imagine running a marathon in these. I'm kinda sick of these stupid energy rods as well, really would like more structure to a carbon plate. I've got about 50 miles on them, ... MoreWell, looking for the next great super shoe and these are not it.

I've got about 50 miles on them, mostly tempo to threshold work and I'm so tired of them chewing up my feet. Needs a whole new upper material, sorry environment.
Of the three models I tried in the shop, these were the ones that felt most like I could imagine running a marathon in. And I will be, in one month! I'd never tried carbon-equipped supershoes before and really got used to them on my second time out. At the same level of exertion based on heart rate, I can achieve a faster pace than in any other shoes I've worn. The day after a seventeen mile run, I felt fewer aches and more reactivated than ever before - it was a vivid improvement. I'd been put off by the energy rods in reviews before, thinking I'd prefer a solid plate, but now I've felt them helping, I'm a convert. I thought the price was veery reasonable. I'd expected to pay a lot more for shoes in this category.They're a bit fiddly to get on, and it's taking me ... MoreOf the three models I tried in the shop, these were the ones that felt most like I could imagine running a marathon in.

I'd expected to pay a lot more for shoes in this category.They're a bit fiddly to get on, and it's taking me a few goes to master the lacing so it doesn't loosen in mid-run. But I think these are inevitable characteristics of the minimal uppers in these sorts of shoes.
I took these out for a pacey 10km and they were pretty comfy. I would say it is quite a roomy shoe which suits me as I normally need wide. I think 7.5 would hold up fine as plenty of toe box and good grip. Shoe did feel stable and lightweight in feel though the spongy base did not give me an overall spring. You’d expect it to translate to good energy return.
Very bouncy. Very interesting shoe to run or jog.Shoes lace is funky and take a awhile to get it right to put it on.True to size and quite roomy, I can only wear wide shoes like Hoka or Topo or Altra and this one I order half size up and felt too loose and is thinking about return it but I adjust the shoe lace a bit and now it fits quite well and next time I may order true size.It is pricy shoes, I have never ordered any running shoe over 200 quits but this one may worth it provided it lasts longer than any of my Hoka.One extra point, the shoes are ultra light and maybe great to carry to travel on the plane.
I absolutely love these shoes! They are so light and incredibly speedy and really make you run like you’ve got a rocket up your bum..! I gave them 4 stars, as on the first 4 occasions wearing them, they rubbed my ankles and caused blisters due to the poorly placed hard stitching and thin material. I seem to have broken them in now and they really do make you run much quicker with much less effort. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to go back to another shoe..!
