adidas Adizero Takumi Sen 10 Reviews

Did not like the Takumi Sen 10 despite the hype: the narrow heel made landing feel unbalanced and uncomfortable every run.

A 125 lb high-school runner raced state XC in the Takumi Sen 10: very light, comfortable and breathable upper, runs a little small with a snug race fit, and needs a runner's loop for the heel.

Loves the Takumi Sen 10's bounce and ground feel, but the narrow fit and midfoot cutout are painful.

A 145 lb high-school XC and track runner put about 50 miles of speed work and a turkey trot on the Takumi Sen 10, mostly on a muddy XC course: snug race fit with a thumb's width of room.

The Takumi Sen 10 has enough toe room in their AP3/Boston 12 size but an extremely narrow race fit; great for short, fast intervals and 5Ks but they wouldn't race a 10K in it.

A tremendously fun, propulsive racer with excellent ground feel, standout cornering and more stability than high-stack marathon shoes. The only grief is the tight upper; wide-footed runners should think twice. Not a do-it-all shoe.

Over 100 miles, including two 5K races and several track sessions, with a 5x1K workout at 5K pace as the main test. They like how light it is, but find it narrow in the toe box and midfoot and very firm, almost brick-like, and say it rolls inward on them. Past about 10 miles they want out of it, so it suits 5K and 10K work and short sessions rather than long runs or casual joggers.

Ran an 18-mile long run with tempo intervals in the Takumi Sen 10: the carbon rods make it bouncier than the TS8, it runs about half a size smaller, and the outside-foot pain they had in the TS8 is gone.
