Treadmill friendly Feb 09, 2010 I love these shoes. I was always an avid outdoor runner however due to my current location (deployed overseas) I'm unable to run outside. I have tried mutliple times with various shoes to run on a treadmill but always found the constant pounding to become to much for my knees. These shoes are perfect! I gave them a test run on the treadmill this morning and was pleasantly suprised by the support and additional "bounce" they offer. I just got them yesterday and am already shopping for another pair!

overall very good Apr 24, 2009 Size seems a little small compared to previous generation adidas running shoes I've own. Excellent flexibility and road feel - very responsive and cushioned. If you prefer a firmer feel (e.g. like Asics cushioned shoes), this will feel too squishy. Very attractive design. Laces are strangely short, but adequate (typically my laces are much too long). Nice improvement over previous generations of the air cushioning Adidas - design of the sole no longer allows rocks to get stuck in bottom of shoe.
Overall very good. Price/value and smaller sizing were criteria that led to lack of an "excellent" rating.

Awesome Running Shoe! Sep 30, 2008 This shoe has been great so far! It's good for running, taking classes at the gym. It's a great all-around shoe. Really comfortable and a very cool look to the shoe. Very happy with my purchase!!

Great running shoe but why is price way up? Sep 01, 2008 The double-edged sword of rating a product highly: you help out fellow shoppers but then the vendor raises the price. I bought this exact shoe 1-1/2 yrs ago for $45 w/free Super-Saver shipping. Now the shoe costs $73 + shipping? Maybe we should all keep our mouths shut. And what's w/the different pricing for different sizing? Sounds like discrimination to me. Could be a federal offense.
I've given it 5 stars to see how much higher the price rises.

Pretty but not as good as Mega Bounce Aug 29, 2008 I bought this to replace a pair of Adidas Mega Bounce. This shoes do not have as much cushion and comfort as the Mega Bounce. I bought it because Amazon didn't have a pair of Mega Bounce on my size.
It is ok for short distance walking but for long distance walking and running, I need more cushioning. I felt pain in my toes after a mile and I could use a bit more arch support.
