Weight 314gEvaluation The Restless replaces the Estes as Adidas’s lightweight trail shoe. The good news is that it hits the same weight, and the outsole grip has improved to be as good as nearly anything on the market – but it’s a confused shoe

. This latest version is slimmed down. Adidas has chopped out most of the PU, leaving a relatively slim layer underneath the heel. The rest of the midsole is now made from a more familiar two density foam construction with a big midfoot shank for extra stability
