Review on Adidas Alphabounce White Orchid Running Girls' Shoes by Larry Blanco

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great shoes, like cross trainers or casual shoes, but not everyday running shoes

First, let me be clear that these shoes are absolutely not for your everyday running shoes. As a spare running shoe or if you suddenly want to run unexpectedly, of course they will do that too. However, they are not running shoes for everyday use. I would call them cross trainers that look like very trendy casual shoes. With this in mind, my thoughts: - The fit is very size-neutral in every size. I bought them a half size bigger and they run half a size bigger. The materials and construction are of very high quality and they look very nice. The comfort is excellent. They are similar to super-cushioned treadmills but lack the ankle stability of a real treadmill. The grip is good, but not outstanding. Grip is one of the reasons I don't consider these shoes running shoes. there is a lack of top support b. thrust average c. The lacing system does not allow for an individual fit. Again, you can run in them as a last resort, I just don't recommend them for a long run every day. Now, as a cross trainer or casual shoe, this is a great piece. So I recommend them for everything but high mileage running!

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Not bad, but...
