I always wanted to try these shoes and i been waiting for 3 years before buying them. I live in Whistler and most race have concrete and are in trails. I love the alphafly and the adizero pro 3 but they don’t have good grip. I was very intrigued to try trail carbon plated shoes and these did no disappointed. I was planning only race with them and i think i will run trails every time i can with them. The foam absorbs so much, the rocker in the shoe is just incredible and the plate really pushes you forward. I bought the agravic speed last year and they don’t feel good for long runs. These are just MAGIC. The heel is so massive and the toe box is very wide and grippy. They are very breathable and i love the feel around the ankle. Something that the Adizero pro 3 was missing and these got everything you need for long distance running. 10/10 i don’t want to wear anything else.
I would not recommend this for technical terrain (tree roots, rocks, stones, hard pavement, etc). Nice fit, and the energy rods help you get going.
I was hoping these would breathe some new life into my trail running this yr. Mission accomplished, but for a reason I wasn't necessarily expecting. i was expecting a peppy & fast ride, but the nimbleness has been a pleasant surprise. The only tidbit I can add is that the lacing is sensitive. On my second trail run I laced the right shoe a little too tight and it completely changed the comfort/behavior of the shoe. so now make sure i get them laced just right as the sawtooth laces do stay tight.
This is my first pair of Terrex but it won’t be my last!
The ASU 2 keeps the fun and speed from the original, but refines the fit and feel. Far more stable feeling underfoot with noticeably better grip in the mud. The additional heel padding kept my foot locked in and comfortable. I went true to size and had ample room around my forefoot and toes. Overall I think this shoe is worth the upgrade from the first version and different enough to try out if the first wasn't the right fit for you
After two pairs of the first version, this new version feels and runs like the same shoe, which is nice. I got the same size as I had in version one before hearing the sizing was fixed. With version one on one foot and version two on the other, the sizing feels identical to me. I like the upper changes—lockdown is easier and the tongue is more comfortable. The larger lugs are also a win.
I was very excited to try the new model of the ASU after going through five pairs of the current model in the last 18 months. The sizing has changed drastically. The size 13 I ordered seems to be almost a full size smaller than the current model and is too small for me to run in. The upper material is much less breathable, to the point you can barely feel any air flow when trying to blow through it. The eye stays have been extended about 2 cm from the current model and the extra length is not needed. The new model is 23 grams heavier in the same size as the current ASU. The padding around the heel is a positive improvement. The upper seems overbuilt with the heavy Terrex overlays on the upper. With the advancements in shoe technology it would have been easy to cut weight and make improvements to the current version, but these have clearly gone backwards. The 7% increase in weight for the premier race shoe is shocking. Maybe version three will be better, but waiting until 2028 is a long time ago
Light and comfortable. The tread comes in handy on the trails or gravel.
I recommend to buy ASAP before they're all gone. Ive been getting great compliments everything I wear them
Comfortable and nimble. Trail running shoes have typically been bulky and heavy, but these are responsive and nimble, and unlike the ones I was using from another brand, these appear robust and durable. Good job Adidas!
