A pair of Adidas running shoes may look appealing, but a great colour or familiar name says little about whether they’re right for your training. A beginner usually needs different features from someone doing speed sessions or preparing for a race.
The most common buying mistakes stem from three pitfalls:
The midsole plays a major part in how a shoe feels when you run. Don’t just look at the name of the foam; consider what the shoe is designed for, too.
For everyday running shoes and easy training runs, a softer, stable construction can be practical. According to the product description, the Adidas Supernova Ease features a full-length Dreamstrike midsole. It’s designed for short to medium distances and has a regular fit.
Speed training calls for a different balance. According to its product specifications, the Adidas Adizero Boston 13 has a Lightstrike and Lightstrike Pro midsole, combined with ENERGYRODS. The product description links these features to intensive training and race preparation. This makes the shoe more appealing to runners who regularly pick up the pace, but not necessarily to someone who mainly runs easy miles.
A breathable upper can feel comfortable during training, but fit is still the deciding factor. Check that:
The Supernova Ease has a mesh upper, a textile lining and a traditional lace-up fastening. According to the product description, the Adidas Adizero Boston 13 has a textile upper with a secure midfoot fit. The Adidas Galaxy 7 W is described as having a lightweight construction and a comfortable, secure fit for everyday wear.
Sizing varies between models and versions. Ideally, measure your feet at the end of the day and compare their length in centimetres with the size chart. Don’t automatically assume you’ll need the same EU size as you do in casual trainers.
For running in the Netherlands, running shoes with good grip are practical, especially if you run on wet tarmac, cycle paths or paved park routes. Check the outsole material and tread pattern.
According to the product information, the Supernova Ease has an outsole with rubber lugs designed to provide grip and durability. The Boston 13 has a Lighttraxion outsole with Continental Rubber at the forefoot. The manufacturer describes this as helping with grip during toe-off. This is a product specification, not a guarantee that the shoe will provide the same traction on every surface.
Also consider the terrain the shoe is designed for. A road-running shoe isn’t the same as a trail shoe. For mud, loose stones and off-road paths, you’ll need a deeper tread and a different construction.
The options below are based on the stated materials, fit and intended uses. They’re not all designed for the same type of training.
Why it suits this type of runner: According to the product description, this model is designed to help you build a running routine, with short to medium distances and everyday training in mind.
The product information specifically mentions the Dreamstrike midsole, mesh and rubber lugs. That lets you judge the shoe based on its intended use and materials, rather than just its appearance.
Regular fit, breathable mesh upper, full-length Dreamstrike midsole and rubber lugs on the outsole.
Why it suits this type of runner: This model is a good fit for runners looking for a technical shoe for intensive training, pace work and race preparation.
The choice is based on specific features: Lightstrike Pro, ENERGYRODS and Lighttraxion with Continental Rubber. That makes it clearer what you’re paying for.
Textile upper, Lightstrike Pro midsole, ENERGYRODS and Continental Rubber at the forefoot.
Why it suits this type of runner: A practical option if you’re looking for women’s running shoes for light runs, walking and everyday wear.
The product description mentions a lightweight construction, a secure fit and a tread pattern for grip. That makes it better suited to everyday use than speed training.
Lightweight design, synthetic and textile upper, and a tread pattern that, according to the product information, helps provide grip on different surfaces.
Use this quick checklist before you order:
The Supernova Ease and Adizero Boston 13 are listed in several EU sizes for men. The Galaxy 7 W is a women’s model. Availability, colour and size may vary between product pages.
We’ve put together a full, up-to-date list of products that meet these strict selection criteria and comply with current European safety regulations.
Their lifespan depends on your body weight, the running surface, how often you run, how well you care for them and how much the outsole has worn. Check the tread, creases in the midsole and any uneven wear regularly. Replace your shoes when the cushioning or stability noticeably changes, even if the upper still looks in good condition.
It depends on the model. According to the product description, the Supernova Ease is designed as a stable everyday running shoe for short to medium distances. The Galaxy 7 W is described as lightweight and suitable for everyday wear. The Adizero Boston 13 is aimed more specifically at intensive training and race preparation.
Price is mainly affected by the materials, midsole technology, construction and type of model. So compare more than just the price: consider how you expect to use the shoes, too. A technical shoe for speed training may be unnecessary if you only run at an easy pace; an entry-level everyday shoe may be less suitable for intensive pace sessions.
