Review on Adidas Alphabounce Running Light Legacy by Marcus Krieger

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Very good - "stretchy " upper, both good and bad

Years ago I had a pair of Adidas zips. I used them as training shoes. When I saw these, I had to try them. My previous pair was almost like a thin neoprene wetsuit material. They were durable and comfortable, and the upper always felt like a well-fitting shoe, with no laces that can cause pinch points. This pair of Adidas Alphabounce is lighter and more flexible in the upper - too much. For a height of 13.6ft 3in, the pillow feels nice and firm. The inside of the "sock" is low, although the zipper goes to the middle of the ankle. That seems a little strange. ") that can't be laced up (obviously no laces). The zipper is difficult to zip up - hopefully it won't let you down. (I don't have high arches which definitely makes it difficult to zip up.) Tread feels stable I could use them as shoes to relax in. Heel slippage seems odd and threatens to form a blister if I go too far Shoes clamp well as they stretch across the foot for lateral support and see I'm also interested in how well the rubber appliqué, apparently glued to the elastic outer shoe, still holds up to use I'll update this review in three months (for those interested) I love the shoe - but that's not enough to make me miss my old buckles - adidas zippers with the "best" upper.

Pros
  • Shaft height just below the arch of the foot
Cons
  • Wrinkled
