If I had to compare the adidas Gazelle to another shoe, adidasonlineverkauf.de the closest I could come up with is the Saucony Hattori LC. Both are crazy comfortable shoes with a stretch upper, and both feel great on the run. If it werenĄ¯t for the hot spots I get in the HattoriĄ¯s under the balls behind my big toes IĄ¯d have a really tough time recommending one over the other, but given that issue for me the Gazelles are the more versatile shoe. Both are fantastic for walk around use and short runs, but I can do ten miles in the Gazelles (including speed work) with no problems and that tips the scales.
How the heck does this anecdote about Kenyan runners and their shoes relate to a review of the adidas Adios? Well, IĄ¯m now about 1.5 years into my own transition to barefoot-style running form, and at this point IĄ¯ve come to find that I can run in just about anything and retain this style. I may heel strike a bit from time to time, more-so with some shoes than others, but my cadence stays high and I donĄ¯t tend to overstride regardless of the shoes on my feet. I canĄ¯t even force myself to do the heel mashing, 45 degree angle between the sole Adidas Stan Smith billig Verkauf and ground that is so common in recreational runners wearing big shoes. Running in zero drop shoes now rarely causes me calf soreness. My new form seems to be ingrained, and it now just feels normal. The wear pattern on the Adios seems to support this ¨C there is zero wear on the most posterolateral heel (see photo below), and the wear along the lateral edge extends from the anterior heel to the posterior forefoot. This suggests to me a midfoot strike to a mild heel strike in the Adios. Nothing like the days when I was running in heavy stability shoes with a 12mm lift ¨C I used to trash the heels of shoes like that.
Outsole
Besides being a fan of adidasĄ¯ midsole compounds, I also generally like their outsole designs and compounds. The XT 5 has three different compounds with their proprietary Traxion on the lateral and medial forefoot (outer forefoot Ą°ringĄą), adiwear on the heel (heel Ą°ringĄą), and Continental rubber (which is fantastic) on the ball and middle of heel. The latter is great for traction on rocks, even when wet.
Adidas Adios 2 SideAdidas Adios 2 Medial---Adidas Adios 2 Sole---I opened this review with a quote from the soon-to-be-released book Running With the Kenyans by Anharanand Finn. IĄ¯m only about 100 pages into the book (itĄ¯s fantastic so far ¨C you can pre-order it from Amazon if you are interested), and he writes a bit about running form and footwear (Finn made a transition to barefoot-style form just prior to moving to Iten, Kenya for six months with his family). One of the things that surprised him is that despite stories of Kenyans running barefoot, most of the high level adult runners train in big, cushy footwear. Yet, he observes, they retain barefoot-style form (presumably learned through significant barefoot running in childhood).
ItĄ¯s important to keep in mind that the comparison here was between shoes that only differed in their midsole material, everything else was the same. There i Adidas Boost Steckdose online s no detail about which Boost shoe was used, what the midsole dimensions were, etc. So itĄ¯s very difficult to compare economy gained running in a Boost shoe to any other shoe on the market. As an example, previous research has shown that reducing shoe weight by about 3.5 oz (100g) results in an economy improvement of about 1%. So if the shoe used was the 9.3 oz Energy Boost, then it might not be any more economical than say the 5.7 oz adidas Gazelle. The benefit would be that yo Adidas Soccer Schuhe Verkauf u get the improved economy with additional cushioning in the Boost.
