adidas Terrex Agravic SL Reviews

Around 60 km for one tester and 45 km for the other, across grass, mud, gravel, dirt tracks, some road and climbs. The foam is bouncy with a smooth rocker, and the shoe feels stable and confident on twisty single track, with reliable grip across surfaces. Fit is true to size with a roomy toe box and generous heel padding. On the road it feels a bit sloppy, one of them would want something with more bite for the deepest mud, and the other can't vouch for very technical terrain.

Ten miles into the Agravic SL it's a go-to shoe: the EVO SL feel with a better upper, laces and a wider outsole for stability; runs slightly long.

A-: 'a huge fan'. A well-done heel bevel kickstarts the rocker almost seamlessly, and it feels good at easy and rhythmic paces with a reserve for going fast. He'd train in it and maybe race. The midfoot could be cleaner.

Bold claim: adidas's best trail shoe to date, mixing fun-factor tech with a confidence-inducing design. A top contender for the one-shoe, all-mountain category, with a few easy improvement points.
