Great fit, comfortable! A 3-4x a week runner, I have worn Addidas Response for years. This shoe ranks up at the top of all the models I've tried. I picked it because of the laces: in loops and not holes. I find running shoes laces thru holes don't have enough "give" and end up too tight on my instep. These shoes felt great first time out. The tongue has extra padding; with the laces and the padded tongue my insteps, which are high, were not hurting at the end of the run, even my first time with the shoes. No breaking in either. I buy running shoes 1/2 size bigger to protect my toes; still the heel fit was perfect. Lots of arch support in this shoe, in fact almost too much but that will be a plus as I break them in. I bought the metallic silver/glacier/new navy, very nice colors. Better in person than on the website. I ordered these on Saturday evening; Zappos had them on my doorstep by Monday after work. Great service, as always.

Road Ready - I'm a life-long Adidas wearer because I have very narrow feet. This is first anti-motion pair I've bought, though. I was motivated to upgrade because I'm training to walk in a marathon. The shoes hug my narrow feet, yet allow room in the toe box for my bunions and my additional arch supports when I'm training. If I'm not seriously pushing myself I remove the supports and these shoes offer plenty of arch support and cushion on their own. I bought the pretty pink version just so I'd feel more motivated to put the shoes on and head out.

These are my favorite daily running shoes. They are well cushioned for asphalt and concrete and the toe box has plenty of room (I have a bunion on one foot). I always buy a half size larger than a regular shoe. Although I use a different brand for racing (I tend to overpronate and need a stability shoe for the fatigue encountered during racing) these Adidas can't be beat for comfort--and I have owned several other brands. I am on my second pair and will likely own a third, fourth...

Best Running Shoe I've EVER worn - This shoe is the best running shoe I've ever worn. (Comparing to New Balance, Nike and most recently four different Asics) The cushioning is excellent. It makes a brand new pair of gel Asics feel like they are worn out! Is true to size and width. Switching to this pair of shoes took feet and leg issues out of my 1/2 marathon training. Race date is 5/3/09. I plan on buying another pair of these shoes and no others for running.

I have tried on seemingly hundreds of pairs of running shoes over the last several weeks and finally decided to order these when nothing in the stores fit. I received them today and they are GREAT! Ultra comfortable! Absolutely the best pair of shoes I have ever worn. I would have loved to go a 1/2 size smaller in a wide width, but can’t seem to find my size ANYWHERE. These are definitely a keeper. THANK YOU ZAPPOS for your absolutely wonderful customer service!

I love Adidas! My old Adidas finally needed to be put out to pasture so I was thrilled to find another grey pair on Zappos. I felt as though I was walking on clouds when I put these on! I'm almost inspired to actually exercise in them. They are nice and roomy in the toe box, unlike my Nikes which cramp my toes up by the end of the day.

Very Satisfied - I am very happy with my decision to purchase this sneaker. From the first day I worked out in them I was able to run very comfortable. It is definitely a good buy. I would say it runs true to size if you have normal arches. If your arches are high, you should maybe try a size up. It was true to size for me.

Awesome shoes! I finally got around to buying a new pair of sneakers, and they have made a tremendous difference in my morning runs. I am not a serious runner, I run three miles three times a week. My last pair was on their last leg, and since I bought these, I noticed a huge difference in how much easier it is to run.

Love them! I have always been an adidas fan because of the comfort. I have a bad back and when I wear these, they are super comfy and give me the support I need. They almost feel like there is a spring in my step. I would recommend these to anyone who likes to walk or run, or just as an everyday shoe.

I am a phys ed teacher and my feet always hurt after being on them all day teaching and all night coaching. These shoes are great and very cushioned on the sole. The only reason I gave them a 4 for look is because they look a little bulky when they're on. I still totally recommend them.

Sole broke apart in 2 months! Seemingly great shoes, but poor quality. I mostly walk in them and the rubber holding the cushion at the heel broke. Now it's only a matter of time before the heel will separate. It already feels weird when I walk in them plus it makes a sound. Horrible quality Adidas!

Overall, these shoes are what I would expect for a pair of running shoes at this price. I like the space in the toe box on these shoes, but they’re a little too roomy in the heels, so I have to tie them a special way to avoid slippage. I also tend to pound hard when I run, so I need a lot of cushion, which these shoes just did not provide. I ended up replacing the insoles with a pair I bought at a sporting goods store that had more cushion.

Running shoe review - I ran in last year's Adidas Response and loved it so was disappointed with this year's model. It isn't nearly as comfortable (or snazzy looking!) and I am having some hip and knee pain since wearing the new shoes. They don't seem to have enough shock absorption. I wouldn't buy the shoe again, even at such a moderate price.
