SO-SO

Seemed to be a nice snug fit; controlled pronation well
I found myself 'slapping' down on the road much more than I used to with my old Asics Kayanos - did not feel very cushioned
Clearly a well made shoe - however not for those seeking a bouncy or soft ride

RIGHT FOR ME

Comfort, correction, wear and tear.
Blistering after FLM, but probably not down to the shoe!
My first FLM shoe, bought on the recommendation of Profeet Clapham and I've done 450 miles without complaint.

A REAL STAR

seem to give more spring back than the 2007 shoe
not as good as the 2005 shoe
as always a fine top end shoe from adidas

BEST OF BOTH

nice and soft,which i notice more in the fore foot
all white can show the dirt a bit quick
these are the best running trainers ive had to date,after running in asics, nimbus for a few years,(which were wrong for me any way) i was worried about changing,but im glad i did,even for a stability trainer it is still softer and more comfortable than the nimbus,the heel strike is great,and the forefoot is a nice change from the harder asics,im almost certain you will not be disappointed with them.

HUGE DIFFERENCE

Great support, have quite an excessive over pronation that lead to sore knees and some truely magnificent blisters but these have sorted that right out.
May be a little narrow for some and the price is a little off putting (some how i managed to get £20 knocked off the price).
Excellent shoe for us flat footed folk.
