So happy I switched from the Nike Free TR series to these Adidas Alphabounce! Was looking primarily for a stable, cross-training shoe for my HIIT classes, but also hoped for something that would work as a running shoe in a pinch, if I was traveling, etc. These fit the bill. Great support for my semi-high arch, cushioned (bounce is definitely accurate), and low enough to the ground for stability since I do lots of jumping in my workouts. I also loved the design - i got the black with the white sole and they look like Yeezys. There are also great small details that make the shoe awesome - the laces are textured and grippy so never come untied, the shaft is just slightly higher than a normal sneaker so I get ankle support (again with the jumping), and the tread on the sole is seriously sticky on wood surfaces - no slipping or sliding in studios, hardwood, or polished concrete at all. They do run HUGE. I am normally a 7. A 6 was perfect with thin socks, so I went up to 6.5 to allow for room for my foot to slide forward during runs as well as thicker socks.

Love these, but will return cause I usually order one size larger. No need to with this shoe.

Love these sneakers, bought three pairs. I have sensitive feet from working out so much and these keep me pain free across the board. Can wear them for long periods of time and they keep my feet happy. I went a half size smaller than my normal sneaker on these. They stretched just right. Not that it is hard to lace these up right so your normal size might be too big.

I have these in black and they are the best shoes I own! I have really sensitive feet and these are so comfortable. For walking, for music festivals, for travel, these are so legit!

Super comfortable right out of the box. The wider base provides a ton of stability for dynamic movement. I love the added stability from the higher top, too. Great shoe for walking or working out!

I wanted a shoe that could be used for exercise class as well as my daily 5 mile walk. The Merrill walking she’s I was using did not have enough padding on the soles and I felt my bones aches with every step. These adidas are perfect for my needs. They give plenty of cushion to every step, provide good arch support and are fairly high cut to give may ankles a little protection. I like that the tongue is part of the lining of the shoe and doesn’t slide around. The shoes are a bit hard to put on because of this but once on, they are surprisingly comfortable. I gave them 4 stars for style because when you look down at your feet, they are very wide and look like duck feet. The bonus to this is you have a lot of lateral control for improved balance. Worth the style points for function. I highly recommend

So happy I went with the Alphabounce. I switched from Asics Gel Noosa Tri 9 and the alphabounce has significantly more ankle support. I ordered the shoes in black/white and sized down from 8 to 7. They fit perfectly and look great in casual/athletic outfits. The only downside is the soles look a bit like duck feet looking straight down, but small detail.

The fit and size were just right. Soft insole, moderate arch support, wide toe box - exactly what I need for plantar fasciitis.

The shoes are wide. The bottom rubber is made that way for support if your foot tends to lean inside or out. The actual shoe fit true to size for me. Once you are used to the wider sole you will love the comfort and bounce of the shoe! Love it!

Loved the shoe and the color. But they ran big. I always wear a 9 in athletic shoes, but run big. Disappointed in the comfort. I am returning, but will look for another pair. I really want Adidas, but I’ve been wearing Hoka ones which are very cushy. So back to the drawing board.

Very stylish and plain sneaker I bought to wear with my very bright Lilly Pulitzer leggings. They are a little wider and not as comfortable as my New Balance running shoes, but they are comfy.

This shoe has a bulky look to it. I bought for my daughter who normally wears a 9.5 but due to the reviews we went with a size 9. Still too big. Will be trying 8.5

Im an 8 in women's got a 7.5 since I saw the reviews that they run larger, I do have a very wide foot and the 7.5 fits great even with a thicker pair of gym socks. It is a wide shoe and it gives my foot enough width to feel balanced at the gym.

I bought a Bounce from the Adidas outlet last year and loved the shoe, so I wanted to get another Bounce since these have begun to worn out. The Adidas website says these are neutral support, but another website says these are neutral/underpronation. I saw these were running a good deal go I decided to order the blue in 7.5 (My old Bounce is 7.5, but I'm normally 8.)
Turns out, I am probably an 8 in these and they do feel more like an underpronation for my overpronation feet. Plus, I wasn't really a fan of the slip on style.

I have worn adidas for many years and could always wear the same size each time I bought a new pair. This time this shoe was too big and wide. It seemed comfortable enough but even tying the shoes was cumbersome for me. I also did not like the soles and the way they seem to flare out all around the shoe which made the shoe appear even bigger in width and length. The pictures show this but I did not look close enough to see this difference.

These sneakers are comfortable but they are soooo wide! I have slightly wide feet and I was swimming in them. They look like paddles. Had to send them back.

Unfortunately I have to return the shoes. They are quite cushiony and would’ve been an awesome fitness shoe. However they are enormous they are wide and one size too big. I’m afraid of ordering a size down just do to the fact that they are so wide. I love Adidas and will have to try another style

The other reviewer was spot on - it looks like paddles on your feet. Such a shame because they are comfortable and the colors are great. Disappointed to have to send them back.

This shoe ran about 2 sizes too big for me. I bought a 7.5 in a woman’s and it was huge. I had to send them back. Very cute though.
