Training • Shoes

I’m a heavy UltraBoost user and do plenty running / treadmill work but when I started moving into cross functional training plus weights, I wanted something much less spongey. I looked at the pureboost but settled with the alpha bounce for the main feature - heel support. Found this shoe is at least 70% more supportive than the ultraboosts and gives a sturdy, flat base - perfect for stability on deadlifts etc. Only giving a 4 as was disappointed with the finger strap coming off within 3/4 uses on the right shoe. Otherwise structurally sound - also, would not recommend for any running longer than 2km - you’ll feel it! ... read more

I’m not sure if I’ll keep these yet? I’ve not used them but I think they will make my feet too hot!! Can’t fault them apart from that. I ordered half size smaller by recommendation - good idea as size runs large. ... read more

I ordered 2 pairs of trainers, both size 5. One pair was perfect in every way, this pair & couldn't squeeze my feet in. They were lovely looking trainers but I would suggest ordering at least another size up. ... read more

I ordered two sizes just in case, one size down, a 6, and half a size down, a 6.5. The 6 pair fits me fine which is weird, since I NEVER WORE A SIZE 6 (normally 7). Still, the grip on the heel is really bad. It is slippery already for a new pair. The fabric is really thick and not light enough. I could see them as winter gym shoes but not for the everyday use. Overall, really awkward design. ... read more

Ordered a full size up, which fit fine. The real problem was that my heel slipped out with every step! Poor design. Really too bad, as I loved everything else - would have been a perfect training shoe. ... read more

I was surprised by how light these trainers were but they are well made and very comfortable. I use mine in the gym for a mixture of workouts and they are just right. The tongue is elastic and fixed on both sides but fits comfortably across the foot. I use no show socks in mine which stay in place and do not slip under the heel. ... read more

I got these in he white because I thought they would be cute for summer. They fit weird because the plastic piece on the top does not allow you to tie them up. The loose look does not do them any justice. They are also quite wide in size and look. I ended up returning them. ... read more

Was love at first sight. Love the colour combination and the Leather in front to protect the toes. Got half a size smaller than my usual but it was too tight. Got another one in my perfect size. I love it. ... read more

I have always preferred Adidas shoes to others and have been looking for a new gym for awhile. I saw a favorable review of this particular model on YouTube and thought I would give it a try. And honestly, I am glad I did. The shoe, even with the drop from heel to toe, is extremely stable for squats and deadlifts given how wide the toe box is. Also had no problems when doing agility drills, and they were fairly comfortable during drills as well. The only negative that i have found is that the heel (while secure) feels a little weird to me. Maybe I am just not use to the support, and maybe it will alleviate in time as the shoes break in a bit. Overall, I am happy with my purchase as usual from Adidas! ... read more

I walk four hours+ a week purely for exercise. Wearing these shoes from day 1 I did not have sore feet after a 1.5hr walk, no heel rubbing, toe blisters, nothing. I like how I do not wear socks with them but they are a little daggy looking. I am 45 years old though so I am sure the young or hip folk out there have differing opinions. But heck, they are so comfortable and that's what matters most to me. I did read previous reviews before ordering my pair and took their advise of going down one size fitting. ... read more

Trainers do not have a tongue and are elasticated. Not sure if trainers have enough support for running as achilles became tight of a spell on the treadmill; maybe not the same amount of heel lift as old running shoes. OK for general gym work ... read more

I was really impressed with the speed of the delivery; when the shoes arrived they were smartly packaged and exactly as ordered. I had bought these for my wife and she has found them to be really comfortable and offer great support. She is very happy with them! ... read more

These are my primary gym shoes. I think these are perfect for all kinds of training and running. + Solid base gives you that stability on ground and impact. You'd probably want them for intense training. + Love the design. I actually bought Alphabouce RC 2.0 SHOES but returned them immediately cuz of the looks. But the TRAINERS look awesome! + Very comfortable + Perfect width and size. I have wide feet but fits great. - Bulky - I just have a feeling that I'll trip over my feet some day. ... read more

Ordered in size 8, which it my typical size. This was waaaay too big and too wide. I almost thought I’d ordered a men’s size. They were also very stiff and uncomfortable. I returned them for the pure bounce, which turned out to be 100x better ... read more

I wanted for these to fit soooo bad! They're so cute! and the shoe raises from the arch, which is interesting and not really noticeable from the pictures online. But I wore these once and got the BIGGEST BLISTERS on my heels! had to return :-( ... read more

Based on other reviews I bought a full size down and that is perfect. First of all these look great! They are comfortable - I have slightly wider feet and these fit me perfectly! I've worn them twice in the gym so far and have had great traction with them as well. Great trainers - highly recommend! ... read more

I currently own the pureboost 1s, the very new pureboost go (all black), as well as the ultra boost ST, so I think it's fair to say I'm both an experienced and avid boost fan with zero problems with all of those aforementioned kicks. However, this shoe's heel counters (specifically on the back of the outside of each respective shoe's heel) were as hard as a rock and was positioned awkwardly to make it extremely stiff and uncomfortable to walk around in (nevermind running). Def go for one of the other items I mentioned, they all have zero issues and maximum comfort. ... read more

Very happy with purchase. I eerie three shoes you the gym for the whole week now and I can tell you they are the most comfortable I ever had. The support around the ankle fits perfectly. Just one advice - Please check the size chart before you decide to buy. ... read more

I love the look of these shoes, but the fit is awkward. I’ve been able to buy a size 10 in adidas for years, and these feel big for the width and the length...probably not big enough to go to a smaller size, but my feet definitely have movement in them. The band at the top is cool, but I wish there was a way to tighten it. If you’re looking for a shoe to just order and wear, this is probably not it. I’d recommend finding somewhere to try them on for yourself first. ... read more

This pair of shoes offered the quality that I've come to expect for a pair of shoes that retails for $200. My preferred colour sold out before I got a chance to buy it, but the colour on this specific pair of shoes is actually quite nice and matches well. Will buy again if given a good opportunity. ... read more

I love these shoes for the gym - I got so tired of slipping all over in my running shoes! Like other reviewers I had to go a full size down, very strange. They seem slightly wide but in a very comfortable way. I wish they had a little bit more arch support, then they would be perfect. I still love them and would buy again. ... read more

I love pure boost and ultra boost shoes but this specific shoe is disappointment.The grip on the back rubbed my foot and even though the size and the width are correct there are not stretchy and it is so difficult to wear them. ... read more

I love the style of these shoes. They are so cute, and the laces are reflective! They are pretty comfy, although they fit a bit big (long). I ordered my usual size, and I think if I got a size smaller they would be too tight.... I just walked and jogged with them for the 1st time today, and my ankle hurt a bit at the end. Perhaps more arch support would be nice? In the end, Super cool runners! ... read more

Just what I’ve been after- really sick of slipping around when doing weigted squats/lunges and body weight. Did my first gym class in these yesterday and felt so much more snappy (!) and was wonderful to have steady toes doing press ups. My other boost are only really suited to running - far too slippy for gym studio. I bought these in black and white - white look a lot bigger and would go as far as saying go half a size down - but the black look more compact and sporty, so didn’t feel like I needed to downsize. ... read more

I bought these shoes from the site never having owned a pair of Adidas, much less something of this style and I regret that part the most. The support and visual style of the shoe is great but I’m not sure if it’s the ankle elastic or Achilles notch of the shoe but after the first two wears, I ended up with badly blistered ankles and I noticed that when walking, I it feels like the Achilles notch cuts into my ankle. I’m not sure if it’s just me and my physiology but I felt it’s something to be of mention regarding this pair. I really hoped to love it since the support is great and is exactly what I need (mainly because I have flat feet) but I’m not sure how to deal with this ankle issue (probably will have to stretch it out with something). ... read more
