4.5
Perfect fit 8.5I would usually buy running shoes from a shop, but with Covid, my only option was to buy online as my old shoes were way too worn and I couldn't wait any longer.The problem is sizing. I usually wear a UK 5 in shoes and boots and 5.5 in Nike.I firstly went for Brooks Ghost 13's but I found the 5.5 too small on my bigger foot and the 6 were too big and slipped on the heel on my smaller foot. So I needed to change brand.After much research I went for these in a 5.5. Like Cinderella they fit perfectly. I'm wearing them with running socks and they are amazingly comfortable out of the box. There's no tongue to cause discomfort as it's all one piece. The heel is nicely padded and the upper is lovely and soft, but there is still support there. The main reason I went for these is for the cushioning as I have a tenancy to run heavy on the heel which is not ideal. These are like running on marshmallows! There is a slight bounce back which feels unusual to begin with, but I got used to it after about 15 minutes.Altogether really pleased and a joy to wear!Update! It’s definitely not an original Adidas!And now they don’t allow me to exchange it!I checked with Adidas and the original sole made by BASF (that makes this trainers so expensive) is made with one material only (not tinted or painted), but mine is peeling off now (after 2 months and a half) and there’s a white foam underneath (see pic).Besides that, they look a lot more worn than they actually were. I don’t do sports at all, I just needed comfy black trainers so, in less than 3 months, it looks older and more worn out than some Adidas I’ve been using for 5 years! Crazy, huh?I've got the 2019 version of these running shoes and have loved them so much I wore a hole in the soles. The 2020 version came up a bit smaller. Was really impressed at the ease of being able to send them back and get them replaced with a half size bigger. The replacement pair was sent out really quickly and I received confirmation that the returned package had been received. Thank you!Feel great for running , I was reluctant to run in wet weather with previous trainers I had but these are great and so comfortableGreat price for the product, fit as expected, I went up half a size based on previous experience, love the all black look
