[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The best shoes we have had so far! They are comfortable and definitely make you feel like you can run faster.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I admit I partly bought this shoe due to hype and good reviews. It’s also very lovely to look at. However, it is staying in my rotation because as a heavy runner (6ft & 250lbs) the Lightstrike Pro midsole provides the perfect amount of bounce and softness/firmness ratio. It can handle my super slow pace without complaint, and helps me out on my run. I don’t use it for every run as I like to switch things up, but it puts a smile on my face when I take it out. PS I switched out the laces for shark tooth ones, but it’s definitely runnable in the originals too. Oh and I went with my cm size rather than uk size.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are a great pair of running shoes for all kinds of runs. They have a good amount of bounce and softness.
After years of searching finally i found this, this is not a good shoes this is the best running shoes that ever made, sharp light, responsive, comfortable, stable and with a excellent price.
I absolutely love these and until production ends on this line I will always buy from it. The Evo SL‘s feel great for daily use and when I want to go for a nice run in Texas Heat. The only downside which is just a nitpick to me is the tongue. The material feels a little flimsy and won’t stop folding. But it doesn’t matter cause it’s just something small out of a jam packed shoe! I compared it to a pair of hoka carbon X3’s and honestly the adidas just feel even better! I love the looks, feel, and everything about it just hits! Photo was taken before I bought the pair.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Adidas Adizero Evo SL delivers exceptional comfort, making every run feel like you're gliding on clouds. The cushioning is fantastic, providing a smooth and responsive ride, especially on long-distance runs. I’ve found them to be a great companion for extended workouts, ensuring a soft yet supportive feel throughout. However, despite their comfort, there are some drawbacks. The durability is questionable; noticeable signs of wear appear after just a few miles, which is concerning. The tongue constantly shifts and folds, resulting in discomfort and requiring frequent adjustments. Another issue is the shoelaces, which struggle to maintain proper tension. After 8–10 miles, I often have to stop and re-tighten them, disrupting the flow of my run. Best Feature: Comfort—unparalleled cushioning that makes every step feel effortless. Worst Feature: The tongue—its tendency to move and fold is frustrating. Overall, I like these shoes to the point that I own two pairs and plan to run the Sydney Marathon 2025 with them! While they’re a joy to run in, I do wish Adidas would improve their durability and tongue/lace security for an even better experience.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Shoes are comfortable to run, they're my first running shoe pair, It might not be good for long run trainer
Light, bouncy and fast! I will definitely buy another pair when these wear out.the only issues I have with the shoe are first the tongue moves around a little and it’s slightly hardto get the shoe locked down in the heal ( very minor issue). It might help if they use a gusseted tongue . Also, I’m not a fan of the laces. they feel cheap/ flimsy but they do get the job done. Lastly Please add some additional color ways. I’m not a fan of black or white running shoes. One gets dirty to quickly and the other is too hot.also the green is a little much Nice job addidas! My complaints are minor , and I I really like running in those shoes!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It's a really nice shoe that lives up to the hype, it's one of the better shoes released in 2025 and I'm really impressed with the variety of uppers for this shoe. I will say though, the reason this shoe does not get a 5-star is the tongue is ridiculous. It is not gusseted, which just sounds crazy to say about a running shoe in 2025 (even the Boston 13, which this shoe is nearly identical to has a better tongue. I often find myself having to put the shoe on then mess with the tongue to make sure it is not folded up on my foot. Then it sometimes slides while running and you need to adjust.
I like this running and bought two pairs of this. Very nice comfort and I enjoy running in it. But the product quality is very poor. I recently bought another pair and have not even run 50 miles and the shoe has already worn.
