FYI, I snip into the shoes at Adidas ZX 500 Womens Outlet the shoelace trim/frame and don¡¯t lace the bottom 2 holes for a comfier fit.Edit: Just realized another change they made that ties in with your tight toebox remark, the previous version has less trim at the toes so more room for feet to splay, now it¡¯s like a peephole so more constrained. Grrr.
Haven¡¯t tried the Bionic but the Adidas cushion feels more ¡®dense¡¯ than the Hattori. It has about the same amount of give, but doesn¡¯t bottom out as hard and fast. Probably has something to do with with the rubber outsole. This is a good thing in my opinion.
The Gazelle won¡¯t provide the stiffness of a racing flat like the Hagio, which I prefer for racing. I love both shoes, but would likely opt for the Hagio for speed on the track.
The old Adidas ZX 700 Womens top Adios looked a lot better then this one. I started out on the Adizero Rocket with 9 mm and I remember they were feeling very flat compared to what I had I was wondering when you¡¯d get a chance to review these. But I knew from your previous reviews and putting over 100 miles on the Adios 2 myself that you wouldn¡¯t be crazy about them. Personally, I love them. They are my shoe for Sugarloaf on 5/20. I also run in Kinvaras (4mm)and the Boston 2s and 3s (12mm) and don¡¯t feel like my stride or footstrike changes with any of them. One thing I notice about the Adios 2, however, is that they feel much better at faster paces. They feel stiff at easy pace but that stiffness turns to responsiveness when I pick up the pace.

Anyway, how does th Buy Adidas ZX Flux Womens e Adidas Hagio compare to the New Balance 1400, K Swiss Kwicky Blade Light or the K Swiss K Ruuz? (I also train in the NB 870 or NB 890.) I sprained my left ankle badly 9 years back, so it really pronates a lot, so a little anti-pronation support is useful, otherwise, this midfood running is totally awesome! (I almost won my last race¨Cat age 54, (in K Swiss K Ruuz shoes), but some 26 year old passed me with one mile to go. Full disclosure, it was a smal adidastrainer.top l 5 km race and my time was a slow 18:54)
