Adizero Prime

"Heavier than most super shoes but whilst training, you would not notice this. Bounces really well on the heel which kicks up the back foot in a good way. The forefoot is ok. It lacks responsiveness and a really great roll through like which is evident from the Hoka Ciele. The lacing for the forefoot requires fiddling to ensure it is secure before tying a knot and at that the tie can easily squeeze on the metatarsals too much in turn for ensuring the forefoot does not starting slipping around. Over all, it’s a decent shoe. I would not strongly recommend it nor disregard."

2nd time is the charm

"I like Adidas running shoes a lot. I had bought these before from Rebel and tried them indoors. Then I felt that they weren't working too well for me, especially considering the price. So I returned them. But then I saw Pace had them on sale with a significant discount, I decided to give them another try. After a long run, I think in general I am happy that I gave them another chance. They are really bouncy and hence good for long runs."

I think this shoes don't

"I think this shoes don't really suit me. I feel like they require a lot of muscle (effort), or maybe it's just my running form. The shoes have excellent propulsion/push-off, but I don't feel comfortable running . I can reach my normal running pace, but it doesn't feel comfortable. I really like the Evo SL, Boston 13, and Pro 4, but not this pair."
