PositiveThomas calls it an excellent, durable multi-use trainer at $120. The Lightstrike Pro puck sits under the ball of the foot; the materials are entry-level, the outsole rubber is ordinary, and the fit is not for wide feet.

NegativeRarely has fit problems, but the Adizero SL pinched their toes; after five miles it felt like their toenails would fall off, so they returned it.

MixedUses the Adizero SL for tempo and interval work but finds it tight in the toe box.
Most runners call the Adizero SL firm but durable, with a grippy outsole that lasts through hundreds of miles. Those who like a firmer ride enjoy it as a versatile daily trainer, while others find it too harsh for easy days or long runs past about 10 km. Some say it softens a little with miles.
