adidas Men's Duramo 9 Running Shoes

I bought these trainers prior to a road trip through America with a significant amount of walking in mind and was specifically seeking a pair that would offer a spongy sole and breath-ability. The trainers exceeded expectations in both areas. Excellent cushioning under-foot and good ventilation meant that they lasted well through a combined total of over 200,000 steps across the hilly streets of San Fran, the national parks of Big Sur, desert hikes in Arizona and the trails of the Grand Canyon. After reading a number of reviews prior, I wasn't expecting them to remain in good nick for much longer than the length of my trip but have worn them several times since and they are still as good as new. In fact, what promoted me to write this review was after my hiking boots caused me blisters after the first peak of a recent attempt at the Yorkshire Three Peaks. Luckily I had these trainers in my rucksack as a back up plan and I can honestly say that it was thanks to these trainers that I was able to complete the challenge.In short, I've put these trainers through hell and I've no issues whatsoever with stitching issues or rubbing of any sorts.I've also had no issues with the plastic lace eyelets rubbing on my foot but I have always at the least worn trainer socks. I can imagine that the people who are putting bare feet into their trainers will get some irritability but they probably deserve it for being those weird people who don't wear socks. If these trainers are forcing their owners to wear socks then it just makes me love them even more.

I have trouble with accurate sizing with Adidas trainers in the past so was extra cautious and used the sizing guide and measured my foot before ordering.This proved to be the key in getting an accurate fit!There have been several comments about the plastic lace eyelets digging in once they are laced up and I can say if you are not wearing socks you will definitely experience discomfort.This is definitely where the cheap cost is reflected, however if, you be sure to carefully position the tongue you will significantly improve the comfort and can run for 9 miles without any issue.Very light and well suited to running or walking.

I bought a pair of these and they were so comfortable that I immediately purchased a second pair. They are very light and help with sore feet. The big negative though is one pair wore through the uppers on both left and right feet by my big toes. the inner lining had rippled and started making holes in my socks.The second pair have been perfect though and as I tend to wear them alternately I am not sure why one pair wore that way.

Size 7 more like size 5.5 :(Size 1 size up from what you expect look for 7 ask for 8 if you ask for a size 7 its a 5 or 6 sorry thats the way i feel about them

I use these for beach runs you could get more support in a trail shoe but not for the price I paid overall really happy with them

As some other people mentioned, the tongue is bit of a pain to line up properly, a bit extra material could have gone a long way. Otherwise it looks good, no complaints

Really comfortable and durable so far. Only gripe is the laces are too long

Very comfy and stylish.Light weight with good movement and grip.Good for jogging and a gentle run.Will be good gym trainers
