Adidas ZX 700 Womens

A little while ago I reviewed the Adidas Adizero Adios and named them my favorite running shoe, well as fickle as this may sound, I’ve changed my mind.
While I still prefer the Adios for road Asics Gel Lyte 5 Womens racing and tempo runs, for all around comfort on easy to longish runs and for working on improving running technique, then the Nike Free 3.0 is now the shoe I reach for first out of an ever burgeoning and untidy pile of running footwear.
I’ve been no stranger to the Free 3.0 over a period of more than 12 months, from tentative exploratory and cautious 20 minute jogs, Nike Internationalist Femme my use of this shoe (and I’m now on a second pair) has grown considerably in volume and variation.
At the top end I’ve run for 90 minutes or close to 20km, I even took them onto the track for a middling 5000m performance (I don’t blame the shoe). At the moment I’ve taken to wearing them for speed work (off the track), in fact I’m Nike Air Huarache Damen wearing them almost all the time!
The only environment where they have struggled was in a 16km long cross country race on uneven grass, Adidas ZX 750 Womens I developed a callousister that day – no that’s not your callous sister, it’s a blister that forms under a callous. Keep up with your foot maintenance regime to avoid this happening to you!
As I wrote about recently, the NB MT101 trail shoe has given me a good alternative to protect my feet against stone bruising on very rocky surfaces. However, the Free 3.0 also performs pretty well on rough ground, if you avoid the sharp stuff. There’s no glossing over the fact that they do collect a handful of gravel to throw into your landscaping after each run. I wonder if a future version of the Free could be developed with slightly shallower grooves to help avoid the intrusion and collection of my local Asics Gel Quantum 360 Dam government’s road surface?
Nike persistently under-market and under-explain the usefulness of the Free as much more than the training Asics Gel Lyte 5 Dam tool it’s so often described. It’s a legitimate choice as an everyday running shoe or trainer as well as a superior shoe for getting the feel for improved running technique.
I’ve been recently wearing the Free 3.0 much more over the past few weeks as I’ve continued to fine tuning my foot-strike and maintain my patient journey towards forefoot oriented running. As I’ve written previously in my book and on this blog many runners can be successful maintaining a light heel-toe contact pattern, so this is in no way a call to arms to every runner to get up on your toes.
The reason the Free 3.0 is so useful as a shoe to wear when making improvements to running form – especially if you’re heading towards a forefoot Adidas ZX 700 Womens first contact pattern, is it gives you fantastic feel for the loading cycle that occurs as the forefoot contacts and then flattens under pressure from the glutes and hamstrings. The Achilles and calf stretch to complete this loading and absorb landing shock. If you get it right.
