Lack of boost
AdyJR
This shoe offers excellent stability, is very well made and gives a great fit and feels like it will last. The problem with the shoe is the weight and boost. I've had many adidas boost shoes and due to the boost material they are relatively heavy, however, this has never been a problem as they always give an amazingly soft and springy boost ride which more than makes up for any extra weight you carry. These shoes just seem like normal eva soles, give a firm ride and no boost, this makes the run seem heavy in them. If the level of ride/boost was the same as the supernova st then these shoes would have been amazing, it's such a shame. ... read more

Fastest stability shoe I've ever worn
RunnyMcRunFace
Due to my unbelievably weak ankles I need running shoes that offer a good level of support and stability however this normally means the shoes feel sluggish and unresponsive. This is not the case with the Solar Glide ST. They are super responsive whilst offering a good level of stability and cushioning. They are great for short 5k bursts all the way up to half marathon distance (I haven't tested them on a full marathon yet). Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a high performance stability show ... read more

Very comfortable and lightweight
tarmore91
These are great running shoes, very comfortable and lightweight with great grip on the soles for wet conditions. Excellent quality as expected from Adidas- these will surely last for quite some time. Ordering to delivery was handled well, I was kept up to date throughout the process. Delivered very quickly even though I don't live on UK mainland. Highly recommended. Would definitely buy again. ... read more

Best Running Shoe Adidas has made yet
blanicho2
Before I start, I do not consider shoes like the ultraboost to actually be running shoes. They lack support at all levels. These are hands down the best shoes for running adidas has made This shoe completely obliterates it’s predecesor the supernova. The materials used throughout the shoe are higher quality than the supernova. There is more breath-ability w/o compromised support. There is more cushion when landing. My favorite feature is the tongue of the shoe. I don’t know how to describe it, but it is very comfortable (compared to past models), lower profile, and more supportive. I can’t say enough good things about this shoe. I tried out the step up from this shoe (solarglide) and found that this was a better trainer and it offers a stability version ... read more

Can't possibly wear them again
McKinty
Made the arches of my feet hurt and ache really badly after my run and I feel I can't possibly run in these again. I have over 30 years running experience and have never known anything like this happen before. It's very disappointing having paid so much money for them. ... read more

Phenomenal!!!!
Pqs94
I believe these shoes are the replacement for the Supernovas. I was fan of the Supernovas and was a bit concerned with all the changes adidas made, but I'm happy to say I absolutely love these shoes. It addresses every single complaint brought up by customers regarding the Supernova. The tongue on the Solar Glide do not slide because of the non central position of the tongue's eyelet for the laces. The heel cup does a much better job at securing your heel in place. No heel slippage without any added discomfort. The Achilles region is more flexible and more comfortable than the already comfortable previous iterations. Adidas also improved on breathability and overall comfort of the upper. Another improvement is is the lockdown through the middle of your foot. Just be careful to not over tighten the laces as they create a lot of friction with the eyelets of the shoes, which helps securing your foot in place, but does take some effort to adjust the laces before your first run. It's smooth sailing after that first adjustment, though. One thing that I noticed, but only on my first 1/4 mile with these shoes was the edge of the tongue against my ankle. I thought that might become an issue before fully breaking in these shoes, but that feeling went away just a few minutes into my first run in them and has never returned. Although these weigh about the same as the Supernovas, these Solar Glide feel way more nimble and fast than its predecessor. The ride on the Solar Glide is a bit more responsive, and therefore ever so slightly harder, than the Supernova. To put it this way, the Supernova (Glide 9) distanced itself from the Supernova Glide 8 and got more similar to the Energy Boost (now Solar Boost). The Solar Glide go back to its roots and have a ride more in line with the award winning Solar Glide 8. It's still very soft, as it is a solid daily trainer, but now it has a noticeably faster transition as the forefoot of these shoes became slightly harder than its predecessor's. In short, these shoes are great for long runs and recovery runs, but will not let you down whenever you need or want to pick up the pace. These are my favorite daily trainers, but they are fast enough that I would race with these without hesitation. Adidas gets sometimes overlooked by runners because of the fanfare some adidas running get from casual wearers and sneaker heads. However, they should not overlook models like the Solar Glide or the Boston or many other models. These are absolutely phenomenal. I loved them so much that I even got a second pair for when I run my first Solar Glide to the ground. Even got it in the same colorway, as I find the blue/green color way amazingly beautiful. Just a small bonus to an already amazing running shoe. ... read more

Nice shoes, runs slightly large
James46
The shoes are comfortable and look really good. The only thing I’ve found is that even though I ordered the same size as my previous Adidas running shoes they seem to be slightly larger than my previous pair. ... read more
