Really happy with these shoes, first time in a long time I felt I had the right running/training shoes.
I'm not a hardcore runner, but for me, I just love these shoes. As some have mentioned, the cuff of the shoe upper is low, so it feels a little weird at first, but I never felt like it was going to slip off or that it didn't fit right. The shoe feels good, and if anything, I feel really solid and sure-footed in them. Also, they have a comfortable fit, vs my other running/trainers which tend to be a little tight and restrictive in all sorts of spots.When I first un-boxed the shoe, I was worried about the strange looking thick heel-end of the sole, and that it seemed uneven; however, it's not the case. My neutral foot is solidly planted and it feels neutral, but supportive, to me. The sole also provides a good cushion for my heavier frame without feeling too soft or bouncy. Frankly, to me, modern running shoes, with their crazy but functional soles, look like they got beaten with the ugly stick in a bad way. But after getting used to these, I found them attractive and not weird looking at all... They actually look good to me.When I first wore the shoes, breaking them in around the house, they squeaked for a couple hours while walking on wood and tile floors. But that went away and they are plenty quiet. I'm pretty sure they will not squeak, and will break-in much quicker on concrete and pavement.Lastly, the fit was fantastic for me, other brands tend to fit a bit tight in the toe-box (too narrow) for me, however these were perfect. I am on the wider side for feet, but I don't have "wide" feet... I normally don't need to seek a wide shoe outside of some brands of running shoe, problem shoes for me are Nike, Puma, Reebok. Usually good shoes for me are Adidas and NB.Of note, there were two spots on either side of the toe box that I thought would be pressure points if my feet would ever swell. There was no pain or bother, but I was aware of the toe-box having a pressure spot on either side of both toe box pressing on the sides of my foot. But they broke-in within an hour and I never felt them again. I even tested it after some crazy walking/foot/leg work for a couple days, and all was great.

The perfect white shoe
These are awesome. I have tiny feet and superstars are all I wear! The colors are vibrant and the fit is exactly what I expect. These never go out of style and are comfortable. Highly recommend.

Good Shoe with Great Cushioning
I'm an older runner, 5-10, 235 lbs. I find these shoes are comfortable, capable of supporting my weight through 30 minute runs (I think even further, but that will come next month).Some report an issue with heel slippage and this does exist. I corrected it with a simple lacing method I've used for years to minimize heel slippage and they feel fine. The upper is very breathable and keeps my feet cool in some pretty warm and humid weather.Two things I find a great "pros" - the Boost cushioning and the Continental rubber outsole.Con - only one I see and that is this being a "stability" shoe, but it doesn't feel as stable to me as my other shoes (Asics Gel GT-2000 v4 or Gel Kayano 20). Mind you I'm not finding I need more stability with what the Supernova ST provides. They just don't have the feel to which I am accustomed.Those suffering from heel slippage should try this method of lacing. Lace the shoe from the toe box to the ankle. You'll notice the last two pair of eyelets are closer to one another than the others. Lace to the first eyelet on each side. Next, instead of crossing the laces over the shoe, run them through the next eyelet up on the same side of the shoe. This creates a loop between these final two eyelets. Cross your shoe string over to the opposite side and feed it through the loop you just created with the laces. This lacing method gives you a more secure seating of the foot into the shoe, minimizing if not eliminating heel slippage. If you need an illustration, search on running shoe lacing and you'll find several.The Boost returns energy better than any other running shoe I've ever used. I'm hopeful the cushioning will last more than 400 miles.The Continental outsole is a hard rubber compound made by...the Continental Tire Company. To be honest, this is the primary feature that led me to try these shoes. Outsoles on most of the current running shoes are made from rubber compounds that seems to wear quite easily. I've run in Nikes, Asics, New Balance and Brooks models that seem to use the outsole as another layer of cushioning. Thus may work for others, but I wear through outsoles like these in around 200 miles or less. I'm two weeks into these shoes and find no wear on the outsole as yet.I'll update on the shoes as the months roll on, but I think these are going to be favorite shoes for a bit. I'm considering buying another pair (or another Adidas model with similar characteristics).UPDATE: Still like the shoes. I have over 100 miles on each of two pairs and they are holding up just fine. The Continental rubber outsole has worn a bit, but is still doing its job. The Boost midsole shows no sign that I can see of midsole compression. I have found that I now prefer Boost midsoles over any others that I have tried (Air, Gel, etc.). Boost seems to provide much greater energy return than any of the others.Adidas needs to fix the heel slippage issue. There are workarounds this issue, but customers shouldn't have to do this. I personal feel the fault lies in the heel counter being so much lower in the Achille's tendon area. I feel that making the heel counter without this notch would fix the slippage issue and not seriously impact the comfort of the shoe.I would recommend this shoe to anyone who needs a little bit of stability and is not wanting to spend a huge chunk of change on more expensive shoes. The cushioning and energy return of the Boost middle is great, the upper fits well and I've not noticed any tight spots.

Love the fit
this shoe is very comfortable. I love them. I usually wear a size 8 1/2 and wear a size 8 in this style. So, they run big. But man are they comfortable.

To small for me
These were sold to me as a woman's size 8.5 they are more of a woman's 7.5 they don't fit me but I'm stuck w then because my only return option was to drive 40 mins from my house to the ups store. Had i been able to give to the ups driver like I have w other orders I wouldn't be out my cash w nothing to show.
