adidas  Terrex Agravic SL Trail-Running Shoes - Men's

First impressions were that these were a solid shoe. But after trying them on, they definitely fit on the larger and narrow side. I don’t have super wide feet (more like a medium width), and ordered my normal size 11.5 but these were long and slightly narrow. Tons of space between my toes and the tip of the shoe. Also, the sides of the shoes are too tall and were rubbing too high on my ankles causing a lot of discomfort so I could foresee blisters happening in these areas. On top of this, one of the shoes was missing the top hole for the lacing of the runners knot. The other shoe was fine, but the one shoe was missing the one hole. I had to return them for these reasons.

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) I haven’t worn an adidas running shoe in over 20+ years. I have a 100km ultra coming up and wanted to get a backup pair, after watching a lot of reviews I decided to give these a try. Out of box I ran 30km with 600m of elevation and my feet felt better than my broke in pair. These are now my primary starting pair and likely grabbing a second so it’s also my backup.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Continental tire rubber on the outsole gave me great traction on the loose gravel. Felt more in control on the downhills than I ever have. Well cushioned and responsive and I felt stable. Highly recommend this shoe

My new favorite trail running shoe. Very comfortable, ultra responsive, beautiful look, true to size for me but I always wear thick blister free socks

these work great in all conditions on the trail. they shine on the more blazed trails but work good on technical stuff too. they could be a little more stable but once you know how they do on the trail just use them accordingly. it's not a knock just what it is they are still great.

I bought the Agravic SL because I was looking for a bit of a middle ground — something fast and reasonably light, but with enough support and protection for rougher trails and longer runs. I’d previously been using the Agravic Speed, which I liked for shorter, fast, trail runs, but once I got past about 20K, my feet would start to hurt. Other trail shoes seemed too chunky and heavy for what I wanted, so I was looking for something that could sit somewhere in between. I think I’ve found it with the Agravic SL. I’ve now done 100K in them — three training runs and a trail marathon — and I haven’t had a single issue. They feel supportive and predictable over rough ground, but still light and responsive enough to run fast in. Most importantly, my feet haven’t been smashed to bits after the longer runs. For me, they’ve found a really good balance between speed, protection and comfort. After 100K, I’m very happy with them.

The foam is perfect for trail running - just the right balance of stable and propulsive. Rocker is the perfect shape. Outsole has great grip. Heel cup and ankle collar are very comfortable. Unfortunately, the toebox is too tapered on the medial side and I can only use this for shorter runs before getting MTP pain due to pressure on the big toe. Great shoe other than the medial side of the toebox - not for folks with anatomical/straight big toe on longer duration runs.

Absolutely love the feel first thing after putting them on and getting going on a run. They are soft and feel bouncy. I’ve been using them on a fairly flat gravel road so far. After about three miles I felt them pinching at the side of the crease which caused blistering. So I tried thicker socks which certainly helped when I took them 6 miles but could tell they were still going to give me issues the further I went. I also experienced blisters on the side of my big toes. This is only my second pair of trail shoes so I’m trying to figure out what works best for me. I may need a wider toe box shoe…that’s what I’ll try next. I have heard others say the crease pinching is something they experienced as well so keep that in mind. I really want these shoe to work so I’ll keep troubleshooting but I fear I may only be able to use for short runs.

Fits large. I wear a US11 in the Evo SL and purchased both the 11 and 10.5 in these after hearing about the sizing. Whilst the 11 could still work (and may be more suitable for ultra distances) the 10.5 fits perfectly - similar to the 11 in the Evo SL. Overall the best trail shoe ive tried to date, pairs nicely with the Speed 2 which is amazing for the shorter/faster stuff, whilst the Terrex SL can handle anything comfortably.

Great shoe overall! Make sure to tighten your laces. I made the mistake of not doing that and ended up with blisters on both feet by the ball. The toe box is a little loose and allows the internal strap holding the tongue to rub. To combat that, I keep my laces tight and tape up going forward. I love the lightweight aspect of the shoe, the grip it provides, and the extreme comfort of the sole. Would recommend!
