Marathon Racing Shoes - Part I

In the weeks leading up to the Spring marathon season, Aaron Scott will be reviewing the best racing shoes on the market to cope with ultimate test of endurance.

Adidas Adizero Adios - A very light, responsive shoe that will suit those with an efficient neutral gait. Adidas have worked hard on their lightweight shoes in recent years and the Adios is perhaps their greatest accomplishment. The Adizero last offers a fast, smooth ride and the flexibility of the forefoot combined with the Adiprene+ cushioning provides a great feel every footstrike. The fit of the shoe will suit people at the narrower end of the foot width spectrum. However, this slimline fit helps with the racing feel of this shoe. Haile Gebrselassie used the Adios for his world record breaking 2:03.59 Berlin marathon. And if it is good enough for him it surely sufficient for the rest of us.
