The 10?! Absolutely! The Adios 6 is my Adidas shoe now!
I think I had the 8’s. It just was t the right shoe for me. I really like my Saucony’s though.
Which Saucony?
Freedom 4:
I got fitted and tried Guides at first, but they were just too heavy for me. I do need support, so had to find something more neutral. I want to try Kinvara's next.
I've been reading the Kinvara 13 is basically the same as the 12. You can probably score some 12s on sale. I know Reid liked the 12s.
I believe it was the 11s Reid was super horny for. Not sure if he tried the 12s, but yeah I was thinking about doing that.

I just realized my 4 miles today was barely faster than last Saturday's and now I don't feel as good about myself.

I've got 371 miles on the 11s and 94 on the 12s, including the race I did. The 11s are more cushion than the 12s, but I've learned to love the firmness of the 12s for tempo/speed days. Since I can't find 11s anymore, my Altra Riveras have been filling that cush void quite nicely. The 11s still have life in them, but for daily trainers I now prefer the more fresh Altras. Going from 4mm to 0mm drop isn't so bad.
I liked the 11s better, but one thing I love about the 12s over the 11s is the tongue. It's thin and slides on like a gussetted glove.
Haven't tried the 13s yet.

I don't think I can go back to high drop shoes. Even for walking. Wrecks my back, which sucks because I'm really limiting myself for what's out there.

I'm super annoyed by stack height. The Adios is even too much for me but its the best adidas can offer me right now. I hope the fad dies out but I doubt it will.

It only seems to be a problem on flagship shoes, really.

Yes, but they've gradually made it look better, especially on their road shoes. That wide box feels great, by the way.

Yeah I hate white shoes.
Just wanted to show Lenny that angle on the toe. Not clown shoe-y like Altras have a reputation for being.
