though the fit was tight up front

Posted by Suchecka Suchecka over 6 months ago

For quite a long time I鈥檝e avoided most any shoe over 8mm drop from heel to forefoot. However, a few months ago I bought a pair of New Balance 1400v2鈥檚 after hearing positive things about them from friends (damn you John Schrup! )#). [url=http://www.footwear-eshop.com/superstar-women-c-2_54_175.html]adidas superstar women shoes[/url] I never tried the 1400v1 because the drop was above my preferred range (I鈥檓 a bit of a dropist), but I wound up loving the v2. I鈥檇 go so far as to say that it鈥檚 one of my favorite shoes of the year. I still have issues with other high drop shoes, and have come to realize that I can tolerate a higher drop if a shoe is not overly stiff and the heel has some give. What I love about the 1400v2 is that it has a soft heel and a firm forefoot, it鈥檚 lightweight, and the fit is just right for a performance shoe. The 9mm drop didn鈥檛 bother me much at all. Given this experience, I was intrigued by the adidas Adios Boost, which has a 10mm drop and looked similar in its construction (the fact that it was the shoe on Geoffrey Mutai鈥檚 feet when he won the NYC Marathon didn鈥檛 hurt鈥?. I reviewed the adidas Adios 2 last year and was surprised by how much I liked it, though the fit was tight up front and the heel was a bit firm. I contacted adidas to see if i could get ahold of a review sample of the Adios Boost, and they agreed to send a pair out (Disclosure: these were media samples provided free of charge by adidas.
