Product Reviews (5 stars) - Love them! I love all the adidas bounce shoes, they are such a great cushion for my feet. These were perfect fit, and the such a great price, I wish I could get them in every color!
(2 stars) - cool looking but not so comfortable I am a long time Adidas wearer, and I can usually buy a pair online and not worry about fit or comfort. I bought this style after reading many customer reviews that praise the bounce, comfort, breathability and styling. The look and color are great [since they don't show the dirt from running], but after the first week of wear my knees/ankles were noticeably sore. I figured the shoes just needed to be broken in, so I gave them a full month, but just never got that "ahhhhh" feeling you want in a shoe you're going to wear 4-5 days a week for exercise. And, I noticed despite the perfed holes all over, my feet were hotter than in my previous Adidas shoes [the shoes have a plastic cup that cradles your foot, and I think it makes your feet retain heat/moisture].
When running, I thought they were overall a little stiff, and didn't have the flexibility you want in a running shoe. They felt a little clunky. As far as "energy return", I just didn't notice any benefit...and when you really think about the structure, the soles are made of rubber "donuts" that give, but have no reason to bounce back, like a shoe with a "shock" design for cushioning. A shock wants to spring back after it is compressed, but a circle really has no mechanical reason to spring back and return energy to you.
It's a well-made shoe, and looks great, but I will be retiring these from running and using them for hiking or casual wear. I will buy Adidas in the future, but this style just didn't work for me. You might want to try these on before you commit if you don't have previous experience with the Microbounce design.
(4 stars) - good support & cushioning. a little short I'm a run/walker w/bad knees and find this sole style does a good job of absorbing impact and preventing knee pain.
This particular shoe has lightweight "spacer fabric," so I wouldn't buy it to run outside in frigid weather.
The metal grommets prevent you from lacing the shoes as tight as you'd like because the laces keep slipping.
The shoe is a tad short. I wear 9.5 medium, and my big toe touches the tip. but i haven't had discomfort from wearing it and would still buy it again.
(5 stars) - Bouncy! I needed a new pair of sneakers...admittedly I bought these because they were on sale and they looked really cool. Boy was I pleasantly surprised when I put them on and found out how COMFORTABLE they are! You literally do feel like you're bouncing along as you walk/jog. I absolutely love these shoes.
(4 stars) - Great walking shoe This shoe is very nice. I walk and do the elliptical machine with these shoes. They are very comfortable and fashionable. I was going to get another pair, but the price went up. When they come back down again I will buy me another pair.
