Customer Reviews adidas Running 4DFWD Kick

Let's face it: these are some truly great-looking shoes. However, I must send them back, as their aesthetic appeal is really their only selling point. (For reference, I am a woman, and usually wear a woman's 9.5-10, or a men's 8. My feet are of normal width... Maybe even on the narrow side.) Unboxing these was exciting; they're one of those pairs that looks even better in-person than they do online. The honeymoon ended there, though: my feet actually hurt a bit after having them on and walking around the house for less than 5 minutes. As others have commented, the top of the shoe is constricting, even after lace adjustment, and the insoles are flat and offered no support. I tried a couple of other insoles because I REALLY wanted them to work, but unfortunately, there's no room for any insole but the OEM to work comfortably. These are perfect for you if looks matter much more than comfort... But if you'd like any mix of the two, look elsewhere.

I bought these but unfortunately had to return them. They look FANTASTIC, but they just too tight across the top of my foot. Shame because I loved the look the minute I pulled them from the box.

Let me preface this review with the caveat that I would NEVER wear these shoes for running. I am a marathoner, and prefer to run in the Glideride or other shoes from Asics with at least some bounce in the midfoot. These have no bounce or springiness in the midfoot. The heel has some shock absorption for heel-strikers. I am a woman, and generally wear a size 8.5. My feet are a woman's Wide, so I frequently purchase Men's shoes. The normal size 7 fits me perfectly in length and width. I have been looking for white Adidas shoes with black stripes for my 3-6 mile walks in the park or around the city. These are incredible for that purpose! Great looking with biker shorts or leggings, and supportive enough for the distance and heel-striking gait I adopt during my walks. In these, I look and feel great while walking, but I truly could not imagine running longer than a mile in these without developing knee pain. This is my experience, but I would recommend these if you would like a fashionable, comfortable shoe for walking only.

Felt just a little bit small. Overall an amazing shoe! Super comfortable and airy.

I'd like to preface my 5-star review with the fact that I would NEVER wear these shoes for running. I'm a marathon runner and I like running in shoes like the Glideride or other shoes from Asics with excellent support throughout, padding in the midfoot, and at least a little bit of springy feel. These do not have any springiness in the mid or forefoot. The heel area is the only area with some bounce, so they work great for what I purchased them for: walking. I walk very fast, for 3-6 miles at a time, and heel strike while I do. These shoes are a cool, eye-catching walking shoe that I pair with biker length shorts & a tshirt for my long, athletic walks. At the end, my joints and feet feel great! Essentially, purchase these shoes for a comfy fashionable walking shoe, not with the expectation that they are the solution for your running needs. This is my experience but I really can't imagine running longer than a mile in these.

It`s ok

Very stylish and comfortable.

Purchased these adidas for my son. Very nice looking shoes!

Had to reorder a 1/2 size larger but man am I glad I did! These shoes are so comfortable!

I bought these in a men's size 10 USA and they were just a little tight. The 10.5 I recieved are freaking amazing! So comfortable!

Nice shoes, very comfortable. Awesome price, fast shipping.

When I saw the style of this athletic shoe I had to have it. They fit true to size and they are extremely comfortable.

Everything I had hoped for and more, great deal for incredible shoes

Very comfortable

style / comfort / price were all top scores.

The shoes were perfect thank you

They looked great, just too small for my normal size. I would’ve exchanged them for a bigger size but I wasn’t given that option only to return. The price then jumped up 60$ and I can’t spend that much on shoes
