Review on Adidas Alphabounce Beyond πŸ‘Ÿ Women's Running Shoes in Athletic Design by Scott Clark

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Best of the Bang for the Buck Shoes (versatile, well constructed, comfortable, offers a stylish look without being over the top)

I've had Alphabounce Beyond for a little over a month or so . and felt I had enough time to write an honest review. I'll start with the pros and cons for people who want a summary, then write a detailed review/observation log below. Pros: - A real bang for your buck (among the best compared to shoes in the same category/price range) - The materials seem excellent for the price point, which Adidas has used liberally on many recent models. Versatile in use, whether for everyday tasks/work or training. Wide range of color options as well as an attractive look that seems right for many occasions - Comfortably wide, fits many foot shapes, adjusts to size - Easy to clean with a cloth towel and water (light soap if needed) than previous generation shoes that some may seem too broad. Cons: Some may find the laces a bit long if they are used to tying their laces with just a knot. Considering the price of this shoe, you get a lot thanks to the shoe's capabilities. be is worn in different ways. When my purchase arrived I felt like the shoes didn't need time to break in. Runners and those who train regularly will be happy with Rebound technology, as the outsole material appears to offer excellent energy return and stability without feeling overly stiff or uncomfortable. This same technology is also great for those who just want to get out there and do mundane tasks like grocery shopping or a job/career where they usually stand and move. The various meshes and layers that make up the shoe provide a great sense of support and stability, and offer interesting textures that give the shoe a distinctive look. The most notable material in my opinion is the inner lining as well as the heel tab as it gives a silky feel when stepping in and out. The lining also feels great when you put it on and doesn't overheat or slip. I also have a previous generation Alphabounce and am very happy with this purchase as well. This new model improves a few things here and there, most notably a slightly wider base that feels more supportive, a firmer and higher quality heel cage, and an overall more subjectively pleasing shoe. Overall, anyone who buys these shoes should feel they have made a great purchase, my older pair lasted over a year with little wear on the bottom sole; A quick tip, an occasional brushing with an old brush, and a little water will restore the look of these things! I hope my review was helpful to you, it was my great pleasure to write about a product that I was so excited about during this time! I'll post some photos for reference (please note I'm a size 11 and I'm 6ft 2in, maybe this will give you an idea of the size once I'm on my feet).

Pros
  • Perfect for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Not sure
