Does anyone have any experience with the adidas adizero Takumi Sen 2? If so, thoughts? No LRS carry this shoe so all I can look at is reviews and opinions.
I'm looking for a marathon flat. Last marathon wore the original adios 2. I've narrowed my selection down for this marathon to the Adios Boost2, NB 1400's, Miz Hitogami's, or possibly the adidas adizero Takumi Sen 2.
Absolutely gorgeous. The takumi sen 2 is quite honestly the best racing shoe I have ever come across in my entire life. I'm on my fifth pair of Adios 2s, and I use them for all my steady runs and tempo workouts, but come race-day or a road session, the takumi is my go-to shoe. Imagine the fit and feel of the adios, but with loads of the weight just gone.
If I had more money to spend then I would run almost exclusively in them, they are that good. Raced in them over 5k, 5 miles and 10k, and I didn't feel remotely hindered in the shorter events nor did I feel any lack of support in the longer ones.
Best road flat ever made. For reference, I'm a 20yo student, around 5'9 and 132lbs, with a very efficient gait, with a forefoot strike.
Hope this helps!
Willy's Son,
Do you think you could go 26.2 in them? Or do you feel they are too minimal?
