[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Fantastic trail sneakers. Lightstrike midsole cushion and Gore-Tex waterproofing tech is superb. Fit and comfort is spot-on and the heel-to-toe drop is just right.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very good for winter running in Mongolia with outside -15
It is Perfect for my muddy Saturday Parkrun Shoe. Fits and comfort are as expected and looks good and strong.
When will Adidas use good Goretex again? New Goretex: wears out faster, feet sweat more, less comfortable.
Great winter runner. You can get away wearing them in the summer but your feet would sweat like crazy due to the gore Tex. It’s a tad on the narrow side but honestly it’s just right. When on a trail you want to have a secure fit. And this defy purely gives that to you. No internal slippage at all in fact you can even get away wearing these as a daily winter shoe, they’re that comfortable. Not super cushy but just enough. Of course I wish it had light strike pro my favourite foam but it’s still very comfortable. Highly recommend.
I wore these for 60km of trail running in Manitoba in January. My feet stayed dry for about 50 of the 60km and there was lots of snow on the course. They are a great workhorse. Not the fastest shoe, but what really is on ice and snow. Would recommend for winter running or winter trail hiking! Even just as a walk around shoe for winter.
Really wanted these to work as I love the Agravic platform & feel, but the GTX tongue was stitched in so tight, I couldn't get my foot in the shoe! Had to return. Weird design flaw. Size 10 which is what I normally wear.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great trail running / hiking shoe. Having come from a rival brand this is my first time owning an Adidas trail running trainer. first impression were they come up 1/2 a size smaller and they took about a week for me to properly break in and my body posture to adjust to them. however after the 1st week these are now super comfortable, have amazing grip and totally waterproof. would highly recommend.
Excellent comfort. The stability is superior to that of mostly every other trail shoe I have tested. Excellent traction. The Continental tread is definitely a factor. The only thing I will caution against is the quality of the insole. There is little to no support or contour to this part of the shoe. I would replace these with after-market options immediately upon purchase and before running.
I have replaced my previous brand of runners with the Terrex line-up. Started with the Agravic 3 and loved them. I typically run in GTX during the winter months so I went ahead and purchased the Agravic GTX. Such a great shoe! Very comfortable, great grip and keeps my feet dry and warm even in cold temps while running through snow and slush. Highly recommended.
