adidas Adizero SL2 Reviews

210 km on the SL2 with no visible wear: one of the best daily trainers around at an incredible price.

700 km on the SL2 with only normal outsole wear; the midsole is less responsive now, but for the price it's an excellent, great-value daily shoe.

A 235 lb runner retired the SL2 at 300 miles with little wear, used for everything from 8 min/mile tempo to 11+ min/mile recovery, mostly on crushed-rock trail.

About 480 miles on the SL2; blisters on the big toe edge were fixed by swapping in an old Novablast insole.

Over 125 miles in them, with a longest run of 12 miles, and the midsole rated a standout: snappy, with good energy return, and versatile enough for easy runs, long runs, strides and tempo work. They found the upper durable and the shoe lightweight, and expect 300 to 400 miles from a pair. Downsides: the fit is snug and a bit narrow, so they suggest sizing up half a size, and they feel it is best up to about half-marathon distance.

Runshu describes a durable, versatile daily trainer with excellent wet grip. He retired it at 910 km after it began tilting laterally. The midfoot is slightly loose, and the laces come undone easily.
