Topic: Shoe Review: Adidas AS 1 TR

[Clinton Swaim]

FIT:
They fit very well. The thing that is most noticable is how comfortable they are. I swear, these things are more like slippers than shoes. Very, very, very comfortable.



FLEXIBILITY:
They aren't the most flexible, but you can live with it. Break it in a bit, and it gets quite a bit better.



WEIGHT:
Pretty damn light. But the thick midsole makes it kind of awkward, but it's lighter than expected.



GRIP:
Honestly, not the best. Actually, pretty bad. I don't know if I just need to wear them more, but so far it's slipped. A lot. Especially on brick walls. On wood, it's great, however.



BREATHABILITY:
They have a somewhat mesh on the tongue, which makes it breathable. Pretty good. But it could definitely improve.



CUSHIONING:
The cushioning is GREAT. I've taken 5 foot drops and I haven't felt a damn thing. Of course, the cushioning is mainly in the heel. You can easily tell just by looking at it.



Durability
These things probably won't last you very long. Just above the toes, there's this odd spandex-ish material that is already kind of falling apart.



Price
 Psh, I got them for $20. But it was on sale, so I can't do much here.



GENERAL COMMENTS:
Meh.




The Bottom Line:
I honestly don't like them. I wouldn't recommend them. Go buy a pair of Asics or Five Tens.



Pros:
Great cushioning
Breathable

Cons: 
Fall apart
Bad grip
Bulky

I had these shoes and honestly the grip seems fine to me, it's not as good as five ten or a better running shoe but for the price it's pretty damn good.

Hmm, maybe I just need to break them in more.

Grayson, are you sure you've had these exact shoes? I have trained with Clinton while he wore these and on this brick wall he was able to get up in his New Balances seemed difficult in the Adidas...
