This creates a clunky heel transition until the shoe breaks in or until your body figures out it needs to land a little farther forward. The first time I picked the Adistar up, the Repetitor and Repetitor+ foams felt a lot firmer than I expected them to feel.

Not only does the upper look good, but it is also made from 50% recycled sea plastic and 50% recycled polyester. An engineered mesh upper ensures maximum breathability, for cool comfort even in the warmest of climates. The exposed midsole central channel doesn’t appear to have any potential failure spots where premature midsole wear could compromise the shoe, it’s well designed to keep the wear on rubber.Adidas has had few stability shoes since that time, so for Adidas lovers to have a high stability option is great. Sure, it doesn't make the shoe feel less cushioned but it does affect the heel-to-toe drop (discussed below).

As you can see from our ankle movement test, it is nearly impossible to roll the foot over this sturdy sole. So those who want a normal to slightly wide fit with a lower volume in the forefoot and a thicker upper will enjoy the Adidas Adistar.The ride is quite firm and rockered, so those who want a high stack height that still feels grounded will do well here.
