Garbage adios 6 already on clearance on rw

I “accidentally” bought a pair of Boston 10’s thinking that they were just like all of the other Boston’s that I had owned and loved. Shocked when I saw the extra inch of cushion and the carbon fiber pieces. A totally different shoe.

I decided to just give them a try. They didn’t feel anything like my fast, responsive previous Bostons. More like a slow, cushy daily trainer. I ran a few workouts in them. What I lost in speed I definitely gained in recovery. My legs feel FINE after running intervals, tempos, or long runs. I decided that the sacrifice in speed during workouts was worth it to me to have fresh legs the next day.

I certainly wouldn’t race in them… but Adidas’s trick worked on me and I am very happy.

What is the closest new shoe Adidas has to the old Boston design?

Adios 6. And it’s better than the old Boston’s.

I HATE the new adios adizero. I feel like it’s actively sabotaging my runs. I gave up and ran in old busted older-model adizero and even with them being so worn down they have holes they felt fresh and springy next to the new model. If feels dead, slow, jarring, and like I have to work twice as hard. I was in an injury cycle before I got into adizeros so I’m scared to change models but these shoes are terrible. Even the shape is bad.

So I need the closest shoe to the old adizero! (Am a woman.)

love it when people assume they can "feel" how their old shoes have better energy return than modern racers which have bene proven over and over again to be beneficial to everybody tested and detrimental to nobody.

Boost returns as much energy as anything new, but is slightly heavier and feels firmer. Much faster than Lightstrike although heavier.

I've been running in the Adios 6 for a week now, slow, medium and fast, and I'm a fan.

Fits a bit different than the old Bostons and Adioses, but still narrow.

The midsole feels more present than in the old B and As but has, to me, the right balance between give and bounce.

Only complaint I have is that I'm getting a little slapping on the left foot. But I think it is fading as the shoes wear in a bit. Changing the lacing helped a bit too.

So good job, adidas. The old boston and adios shoes needed a little more cushion, and I think this new Adios 6 provides that, without makign it a slow plush pillow.

Thanks for the posts in this thread, just scooped a pair on sale

These are great, really enjoying them so far for medium/faster paced stuff.

Tried the adios 6 on a treadmill and indoor track and they were loud on both surfaces

With me too.

With the boston 8s and previous I

Ran silently, not a sound.

I slap a little with the adios 6.

Which is annoying and not as pleasurable.

But they aren’t bad. Better than any other new show I’ve run in. (Limited sample)
