Adidas Adizero Feather - any opinions

There have been reports from some of the upper having durability problems. Otherwise, they seem well regarded.

If anything, they were discontinued for their dubious aesthetics.

I believe I've seen them on the feet of some top African marathoners.

Also watch out for the Hagio for lower mileage days/10ks, etc.

Has anyone tried this shoe? I ordered a pair from Running Warehouse and walking in the living room I think I like them (they have a very aggressive toe-off) but since they have only been out a while and are discontinued already, apparently, I am wondering if they aren't going to live up to their living-room promise. I currently train and race in the Adios, to give some preference background. I can still send them back to RW until they are worn. They seem pretty firm, but it is hard to tell how they will ride.

I race in the Adios as well, but after 3 marathons, a few halfs and numerous other races it's time to retire them. My pair of the Adizero feathers just came a few days ago. I love them after only trying them on, but I'll reserve judgement until I actually run in them.

Basically, I added nothing to your question...just interested in the responses as well.

If any of you guys are interested, I ran in the Adidas Feather on the treadmill on Friday and they felt great - they really do seem to fire you off your toes as you push off. Had a good workout in them on the mill. They are definitely more firm than the Adios, though, and not sure how that will feel outside in cold weather.. I want to run in them outside soon, but that open mesh is damn cold - temp was in the teens walking into the gym and it felt like I was barefoot -didn't realize how cold that would be. It is 9 degrees here today, so i am going to wait until it is in the 30s to run in them outdoors.
