Review on Rockadia Trail Running Heather Men's Shoes by Adidas by Jason Ballard

Revainrating 4 out of 5

If you're wearing Nike running shoes, the fit is pretty tight.

So, a little background. For more than 15 years I have been buying and wearing sneakers from Nike almost exclusively. However, due to my work environment (Middle East desert with lots of rocks), the shoes I wore tore quite quickly. At $150-200 a pair I had to come up with something else. So I've been trying them since they were on sale. I wear size 14/15, depending on the manufacturer. As I mostly wear Nikes, I'm used to a size 14 being "perfect" for me. So I took the risk and ordered Adidas in size 14. Landing was almost the same. The toe box is narrower than the Shox I'm used to, but otherwise a very comfortable choice. I can't yet report how they hold up against the environment, but I can say they are more comfortable and stable on rocky terrain. I'm giving it -1 star because of the packaging. It was in a plastic bag which allowed the USPS to completely destroy the box in transit. The shoes arrived intact but when I received them the box was round. Otherwise I would recommend them if you are used to Nike. The fit seems almost the same.

Pros
  • Durable mesh upper for durability and breathability; Stitched overlays for durability
Cons
  • So far so good
