[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m a few runs in and I’m hooked. These are a darn fine shoe. Crushed my fastest 10k to date in them. Feet, ankles and shins feel amazing in them. They are comfy on the feet, responsive in a swaying forward response, and look amazing. Can’t complain. They are not just the Internet hype shoe I thought they would be. I usually size up a half size in running shoes, and mostly still have a snug fit in most running shoes. I went up to 10.5 and my feet do feel like there is extra movement but I don’t feel like I’m skidding around in my shoes.
An eye-candy of a shoe and great for running or roaming about in style. It feels light yet durable for easy or speedier runs. The style itself is very unique and looks great with any outfit. The front part is a little narrow compared to other shoes, but still manages to get a good bounce and support.
[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.
These shoes have been part of my running rotation for 2 months (I have only been running consistently for about 3). I absolutely love wearing them, they feel so comfy! They are my favorite pair. I have narrow ankles and like my toe box to be wide; my feet are overall on the thinner side. The toe box is great and I have to tie a runners knot so I don't slip (and wear cushioned socks). I usually wear a size 8.5 in my running shoes, but I am a 7.5 in these!! (In general, I find Adidas to run large for me.) I also have to put some of the laces under the tongue loop thingy, the tongue slides around otherwise.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Fantastic running sneaker and a great looking one too. The amount of cushion and response is just impressive. Top comfort and fit. Do try these on in-store, am a 9.5 but had to downsize to a 9.0 which is perfect. Highly recommend anyone to try the EVO SL, it's one of those sneakers that is just special.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have wide feet and it's hard to find shoes that fit, but these fit perfectly. This is my first time wearing thick-soled shoes, but they feel like they're pushing me forward naturally, which is great. Wonderful red color!!
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.
Very good shoe for the price. Responsiveness is great, breathable material, lightweight long distance or middle distance shoe. My first time trying a "Super shoe" even though it's not one of the high dollar shoes, they really high high dollar quality and performance. Great shoe.
