Adidas authenticated - not fake. Also good for bunions and wide feet.
First things first: ARE THEY FAKE?? Answer: NO. They are not fake. They are legitimate Adidas Cloudform Pure shoes. I bought two pairs of these shoes from the seller Amazon, manufacture Adidas - one black, one white. When I first got them, they felt a little tighter than I remember my identical old pair being. I read the reviews, and I got real paranoid about them being counterfeit bc the material felt different and also they didn’t come with an extra pair of laces or one of those spongy-feeling metal ball key chain things that came attached to the lace hole of my previous pair. So. I called Adidas customer service and talked to a customer support person who authenticated these shoes for me. Both pairs are 100% legit. So don’t be worried about buying fake shoes. The most important thing is to look at the serial numbers on the tags on the inside of the shoe. If the serial numbers are the same, they are fake. If left and right are different, they are legitimate.Ok let get to the actual review.My feet look like Fred Flintstone got genetically double whammied with bunions. I’ve had two surgeries on each foot, and they are still bad. But these shoes are good for these boats, and lemme tell ya why:First, let’s talk material. These shoes are stretchy like maybe a little tight at the top at first, but just wear em inside for a few hours, and they will loosen up. The sole is literally made of clouds, I don’t know how they do it. They are so lightweight and although it doesn’t say non-slip, the traction on them is pretty great.Now the design on these babies is pretty tailored to me in particular (thanks adidas!) for some reason they included non-functional shoe laces, but the shoe laces break up the shoe in a way that makes them look not so big. I can’t stand a slip on, because a size 11 slip on clearly makes it look like I’m standing in two giant canoes. And something about those goofy loops on the top of the “tongue” (the tongue is fixed) and top of the heel do something to make it look more... flirty? Idk, but the loops make me feel all fancy.Now... the most important: comfort. Ohhhhh so comfy!! Very light-weight. No pinching anywhere. None of the seams rub weird. I usually get blisters somewhere on new shoes at first, I expected it, but no pain, no blisters. Perfect fit.If you have finicky feet, give these shoes a try. They look nice, even on big feet. They feel nice, even with bunions.
