Big shoe for a big guy, I'd give it a 92/100. You can read why down in my review.
This is all my opinion. I am not an expert. This my experience on this product.I'm 5'11, currently around 240lbs and I like to run 5k's around 3-5x a week. I mostly do street running and sometimes trail running with other types of shoes. I got these as a street running shoe. I'm training to eventually run a marathon in a few years. I'm not a sprinter, I'm a slow, long distance runner.Reason I got these were to replace some Alphaboosts (2020) I had for a few years. I liked their continental soles and big foot print to keep my foot from twisting from one direction to another, also to help with my knees to bounce off. I normally like Hoka Clifton's and would put them in that category of "goodness for the price". I have some Adidas Super Novas that are great for running but have a bad design in the tongue, resulting in banged up feet. I feel quicker in those for more speedier runs at the moment.I just got back from my first run in them and I went an extra mile for the fun of it. My body feels good as the energy return was above what I expected. I researched these on Runkeeper and they were 88/100 and I'd say that's a fair assessment. The shoes are not as heavy as people complain about. The duel density foam was very comfortable after the first 2-3 minutes of breaking them in and my endorphins kicking in as well.These are so good, at $62.50, I'm buying another pair to make sure I lock myself into a good shoe for the next year or two as I plan to do more and more running during my conditioning.I'd pay probably $90.00 for this shoe and be satisfied.Oh, the insole it comes with is REALLY thin, almost useless. That's fine since I use running inserts to add to my cushioning .Also the laces are a bit short but that's good since it allows you to do a nice runner's loop and then lace it perfectly. I had 0 anxiety about coming unlaced while running in these.

I am in LOVE!
Ok I want to begin by saying please don’t base your purchase on certain reviews... research before trusting other people, there are some people who are just never satisfied and find something wrong with everything.. Some guy posted that these were fake that it had a scan code instead of the adidas sign... uhhh yeah it’s supposed to, I went to the actual adidas website and the shoe has a scan code on the tongue and when I scanned it with my iPhone it gave me a running playlist on Spotify, not sure about the music tho, not my taste..Now the shoes are beautiful!!! They are so comfortable... I purchased a size 6 because the adidas website advised that was the equivalent to a women’s size 7 and they fit PERFECT! I have not used them for running but will tomorrow morning so I am excited about that and will update. But based on looks these shoes are beautiful! By far my favorite adidas purchase ❤️Update: great running shoes! Love them, so comfy!

Shoes feel awesome. Wide.
This feel awesome. Shoes have a large toebox for wide feet. There is a heal to toe drop, so this may take some getting used to. Very cushioned, and I do not feel the concrete at all. This are my go-to shoes for jogging.

Very nice shoes!
I trained and run in hoka shoes for the past 10 years. Recently I bought two pairs of adidas on sales. I did not figure that they would become my daily trainers, but here we are. I have been rotating between the two pairs and I really like this pair. It has great cushioning and fits awesome. I have forgotten that adidas and new balance have extra wide which I have missed. I have put on around 300 miles on these shoes and they will last for a bit longer.
