adidas Performance Women's response boost techfit w Running Shoe

Haven't run/walked any distances for awhile...back to training for 5Ks at age 68...retired teacher now for 8 months! needed "new" running shoes because my other Adidas shoes (that actually have some miles to go on them) were from 2011. Yes, 7 years young. So I researched for a few days, found out the technology had progressed, but the Adidas Response shoe was still around (the only shoe I could ever find that fit my nasty, huge bunion comfortably, as well as high arch, wide forefoot, and arthritic, partially frozen right big toe) ! I was so excited to find the shoes so comfortable and foot-hugging, I wore them without socks for a short walk because they feel like slippers! silly...of course got a small blister, but the comfort was amazing and seems like there will be very little need to break in these wonderful shoes.Wear a size 10 most of the time, except in fit flops (size 9, but 9 3/4 would be better!). In other words, my feet are despicably difficult to find shoes for! I haven't tested these in a 5K yet, but I am almost positive that they will be perfect for me.

Recovering from a severe injury, I'm starting off with lower mileage (about 10 - 15 miles per week) and these shoes are great! I could feel the medial support. The shoe is put together very well with medium flexibility in the toe, lots of support underneath my target areas - balls of the foot. Cushioning at the ankle, lots of shoelace so that I can tie them using the 'runners loop'. The tongue is not overly long as in some shoes I've encountered. Nice solid shoe! My arch normally falls while running and I usually run with arch supports, tried these shoes first time out without my arch supports and they worked surprisingly well. Probably won't add the arch supports because the shoe feels good and fits snug as is, no 'heel dancing' at the back of the shoe either. The toe box gives me the right amount of room as it is sized just right for my wide forefoot. The shoe is a little heavier then I'm used to but overall it is very good shoe, great fit! Would I buy them again? Yes! As a secondary pair of trainers (I normally buy a higher end pair of shoes and a lower end brand at the same time, to rotate) they are a great alternative.

Finally attractive, comfortable Adidas shoes! Adidas is really the only brand that makes shoes for my feet. They don't hurt my knees, I feel well supported, and overall just a perfect fit. These are no exception. I gave it a four star because they pinched my toes at first (I ordered the size I order with all their shoes), but after about 20 hours of jumping, running, and walking in them they broke right in. The longish break in period usually implies a long life-span. I've had them a couple of months and they are still my favorites!

I bought these shoes in the frost mint color. I purchased 2 sizes, since I wasn't sure what size would fit best. I usually wear a size 11, but have other Adidas shoes that are a size 10. So I wasn't sure how the sizes on this shoe would run, but I ended up keeping the size 11. The width is a little smaller than I'm used to, but it's nice because your foot doesn't move around a lot. The front of the shoe is made of a mesh material and is thin, but comfortable. The heel has a nice cushion to it and when I walk, I can feel a small spring to the material. I try to jog/run about 2 miles per day, and so far I have not had any blisters or issues. The shoes are lightweight and comfortable when running. The only negative I found was my feet felt warm after running, but this could always be because I'm still adjusting to warmer weather after recently moving. I would definitely buy these again.

I can only buy these sneakers now. They are soooooo comfortable with the foam underbody. Great for running and exercise and just plain walking. I found the fit to be perfect. The top of he sneaker by the toes has give and is a thinner material. Good and bad. Your toes are never squished but they do wear out easily so you will start seeing holes in top after a few months. Bottom foam wears also so will need replacing much sooner than other sneakers I have had. But they are so comfortable and I like getting new shoes so it works out :)

I can't believe I paid only $30 for these shoes! Wearing them is like walking on air, and they're super light. Plus, the light teal/mint color is gorgeous. I ordered my usual size--8.5--and they had a little extra room in the front, but I think the 8 would've been too small. I have several pairs of much more expensive sneakers in my closet, but this pair is all I want to wear these days.

These are great for the price (got them for about $43). If I'd spent $100+ I would've sent them back. The boost cushioning on the sole is excellent, recommended by a coworker who wears adidas often and he was right. I go for a 5 to 6 mile walk several times a week and these offer plenty of cushioning and comfort. I didn't realize the difference though between these and other brands that I'm used to until I put on my old Mizunos for a short walk. The adidas just don't come up quite high enough for a secure feel around my ankle. I prefer a shoe that comes up slightly higher around my ankle (Brooks, Mizuno & some Nikes) to avoid that little up & down movement when I walk or run. If that doesn't bother you, or if you're just looking for a bargain, then I'd recommend them.

I really REALLY like these shoes. I normally wear a size 8 so that is what I ordered and they fit great. They are extremely comfortable even after putting them on for the first time. I love the multicolored laces and the thin material near the toes is really unique. The only reason I gave these shoes 4 stars is because at that spot by the toes it is already starting to crease after wearing them for less than a day. It's beginning to make two lines where the front lip comes up because of the thin material. It doesn't look the best and I'm hoping it won't get worse as I wear them. Otherwise, can't beat the price.
