Description says it has some light stability. The adios boost fit me true to my size 8.5. Sometimes I go up to 9 in size such as with the adidas Energy Boost with its tight fabric upper but not with adios. It looks narrow but really isn't for me. It took a little while for the upper to break in as it is fairly stiff mesh with overlays but fits like a glove now. the adios boost 2 is coming in a few weeks. It will have a different far softer upper with fewer overlays. As far as support the adios boost has the Torsion plates of hard plastic under the outsole, including a small piece on the medial side running up the midsole. This provides a bit of support for pronation but not to much. I overall think this is one of the finest go fast shoes that has decent cushion out there. Increasingly I reach for them for workouts that are anything other than a slow easy run.<br />Sam Winebaumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17969086391170473784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10529476.post-86021983924410156682014-05-20T21:47:22.928-06:002014-05-20T21:47:22.928-06:00I'm currently using the Nike Lunar Forever 2 (...I'm currently using the Nike Lunar Forever 2 (It's a neutral shoe I think, but it works well with me). I'm planning to break my PR this year and I came across with the Adidas Adios Boost. I've never tried running using racing shoes. I'm really concerned about the toe box area. We have the same size sir (8.5?). You really had me when you said that it has a wider toe box for a racing shoe, especially since we have the same shoe size.Does it feel comfortable when you're running, Sir Sam?

I would think yes it would be just fine. See 4 picture down and yellow piece seen near heel on medial inside. It provides a touch of stability. Also see this post. Latest sports medicine shoe recommendations. Very very few in fact need stability or motion control. http://samwinebaum.blogspot.com/2014/04/american-college-of-sports-medicine.htmlSam Winebaumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17969086391170473784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10529476.post-5598577570603212452014-05-16T11:29:53.297-06:002014-05-16T11:29:53.297-06:00Hello sir Sam.

Is it alright if a stability runner like me uses this kind of shoe during half marathons? Thank you for your immediate response.

Still plenty of rubber although some wear but this is after all more a racer than trainer so outsole is not super thick even if it is super durable. I think with help of some shoe goo down the road should get 300-400 miles out of them easily. Boost is not going to collapse and upper is plenty durable and like new.

I do have fairly narrow feet and prefer a wide toe box. This said I sometimes find a wide toe box and slipping cause me blisters on long runs. So far in adios with longest run a 20 mile race zero blister issues or even hot spots. I swear by the Ashmei wool carbon socks.Sam Winebaumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17969086391170473784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10529476.post-70811785973416108242014-02-28T08:43:25.283-07:002014-02-28T08:43:25.283-07:00Nice review!

Overall, it's a great shoe and a glimpse of the future, but the toe box is too narrow, and becomes uncomfortable on runs beyond 10-15 miles or so. I hope they fix this in later versions.William Neehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10357893074991692830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10529476.post-71770060984196430222014-01-22T20:14:11.665-07:002014-01-22T20:14:11.665-07:00Anonymous, I am still delighted with adios boost e...Anonymous, I am still delighted with adios boost especially at speed. Do all my intervals in them and not only are they snappy responsive but legs are not sore day after compared to traditional race flats. There may be a bit of pronation support from the under arch torsion plates, between outsole and midsole but as far as the midsole it is all boost with no stiffer material as in a support shoe under the arch.Sam Winebaumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17969086391170473784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10529476.post-74886255526009306852014-01-19T13:21:49.302-07:002014-01-19T13:21:49.302-07:00Very helpful review Sam.

I would have no problem using adios boost as a daily trainer given toe box. I have a somewhat narrow foot. I do mix in more substantial shoes such as the Energy Boost, Newton Energy, and Hoka Rapa Nui so adios would be my speed hard tempo and sub marathon race shoe. All 3 of my other current shoes have a somewhat wider toe box at least towards the toes where the adios narrows down.

I'll be looking forward to hearing updates as you put more miles on the Adios. With your mention of the toe box feeling narrow, do you think this would keep you from using the Adios as a workhorse/daily trainer?Bradhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02991081452933624748noreply@blogger.com
