Buying a new pair of Adidas running shoes seems straightforward, until you have to choose between different models, cushioning technologies and size systems. A lightweight shoe is not automatically suitable for every type of training. And an attractive price tag says little about fit, grip or intended use.
The most common poor purchases result from three pitfalls:
For running shoes for everyday use and relaxed short to medium distances, a comfortable midsole is often more important than an extremely low weight. According to the product description, the Adidas Supernova Ease uses a full-length Dreamstrike midsole. The model is designed for daily running sessions and beginners who want to build a consistent routine.
According to the product information, the Adidas Adizero Boston 13 has a Lightstrike and Lightstrike Pro midsole with ENERGYRODS. The manufacturer positions this model for intensive training, pace work and race preparation. This makes the shoe more appealing to runners looking for a more direct and responsive feel, but not necessarily to someone who mainly walks at an easy pace or jogs occasionally.
Please note: terms such as “energy return” or “responsive” refer to the shoe’s construction and design. According to Adidas’ own information, these terms describe the intended running experience; they do not guarantee a particular speed or running performance.
A breathable running shoe can feel more comfortable during longer training sessions or in warm weather. According to the product details provided, the Boston 13 and Supernova Ease have a textile or mesh upper. Mesh supports air circulation, but the precise fit also depends on the width of your foot, the tongue construction and the lacing system.
When choosing men’s running shoes and women’s running shoes, therefore, do not look only at the stated size. Also consider:
A shoe should fit securely around the heel and midfoot, but your toes should not press against the front. Measure both feet at the end of the day and base your choice on the longer foot.
Anyone who often runs on Dutch cycle paths, tarmac roads and paved routes has different requirements from someone who regularly runs on wet woodland trails. According to the product description, the Boston 13 has a Lighttraxion outsole with Continental Rubber at the forefoot. The Supernova Ease uses a rubber sole with lugs. The Supernova Rise ATR is described as a model with an “All Terrain Ready” construction and a synthetic rubber outsole.
“Good grip” is therefore not a single, fixed characteristic. Pay particular attention to the sole profile, the amount of rubber and the terrain the model is designed for. No outsole makes every surface automatically slip-free.
Why it suits this profile: According to the product description, this model is designed for daily running sessions and short to medium distances. The mesh construction and Dreamstrike midsole suit runners who mainly want comfort and a secure fit.
Its intended use is clearly described, so you do not have to choose this model based solely on its colour or marketing language.
Dreamstrike foam, breathable mesh and rubber lugs according to the product details.
Why it suits this profile: According to Adidas, the Boston 13 is designed for intensive training and race preparation. It suits experienced runners looking for a lightweight, responsive shoe for pace sessions and longer preparation blocks.
The specifications clearly mention the midsole, ENERGYRODS, textile upper and intended training use.
Lightstrike Pro, ENERGYRODS and a Lighttraxion sole with Continental Rubber according to the product information.
Why it suits this profile: The ATR version is worth considering if you do not run exclusively on smooth tarmac and want a shoe for a range of everyday activities and surfaces.
The product details explicitly mention the ATR construction and a rubber outsole, making it easier to assess the shoe’s intended use.
Adjustable lacing system, padded insole and synthetic rubber outsole according to the product description.
Why it suits this profile: According to the product description, the Galaxy 7 W is designed for light everyday use, comfortable movement and versatile pairing with casual clothing.
The description does not position the model as a racing shoe, allowing you to assess its use more realistically.
Lightweight construction, textile lining and a sole profile that, according to the product details, provides grip on a range of surfaces.
Looking for size 40 running shoes, size 42 or size 44? Follow this approach:
Bear in mind that Adidas size ranges also include sizes such as 39 1/3, 41 1/3 and 42 2/3. The product page should therefore be your guide; do not rely solely on a size you have worn before.
We have put together a complete, up-to-date list of products that fully meet these strict selection criteria and the applicable European safety regulations.
Their lifespan depends on your body weight, how often you run, the terrain, storage and maintenance. Look out for wear to the sole profile, permanent creasing in the midsole and a less stable fit. Wipe the shoes clean with a damp cloth and leave them to air-dry. For several models, the product information provided advises against washing them in a washing machine.
That depends on the model. According to the product description, the Supernova Ease is intended for daily training and short to medium distances. The Boston 13 is more focused on intensive training and race preparation. Choose based on your training schedule, not just the Adidas logo.
Not necessarily. A carbon model or another rigid plate construction can provide a particular running feel, but it is not needed for every training session. For many runners, a well-fitting training shoe with suitable cushioning and grip is sufficient. Compare the construction and intended use before paying extra for race-focused technology.
