Review on Adidas EPB44 Shoes Men's Shoes for Athletic by Jevon Sterling

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great for those with confidence in foot or less dangerous terrain

I have a pair of Terrex Boost GTX shoes which have a narrower structure. They are much more comfortable but offer little to no protection from rocks, cesspools etc and little to nothing to keep your ankle in place or scratch anything. If you are confident that your back and legs will thank you for good hiking and trail running but otherwise would recommend something more structured. I wouldn't recommend them for a lot of climbing, although the profile is very good the upper is very flexible which allows the foot and shoe to move and curve more freely which may not be the best when you need support and traction. With the older Boost GTX I get traction and stay stable on the outsole piece at steep angles. I would not recommend using strong lateral pressure/acceleration during negotiations.

Pros
  • Rubber outsole
