The shoe is very comfortable and it gets the job done, however after running with it for just ONE short session, i can feel that this shoe isnt gonna last long. I simply got this item for a substitute until my other shoes get to me. Basicly, the item is good, just dont count on having it for an average time.

I run about 4 miles a day and usually get New Balance but thought I might give these a shot. First impression: They're very light, the sole is not very thick and the metallic trim certainly catches your eye. I'm a size 13 but I feel like Cinderella with these on: They fit like a glove. The shoe is basically all mesh (very flexible) until it reaches your heel then it firms up with leather/synthetic material. It's a bit different running with these than the thicker soles of the New Balance. A good different. The thinner sole makes me feel a bit more nimble since I'm closer to the ground. I'm a bit of a clydesdale (6-foot-6 and 220 pounds) was initially concerned whether these shoes could absorb the pounding. Prior to owning these shoes, I had been having heel pain in one foot after my runs. But after pounding the pavement with these for about a month, my heel no longer bothers me so whatever adidas is doing with the soles, it's working. My brother was eyeing these for tennis since they're very light and flexible; they'd be great on the tennis court.
