I also have the Evo SL ATR. The Evo feels like the wilder faster brother. The H1 is the more stable, more friendly and more comfortable one.

If you already like the EVO SL, then the new EVO SL ATR might be suitable. I love mine in the rain and on slippery mushed leaves. Not sure how they'd be on snow though.

I know what you mean. The ATRs are a bit more stable.

Mount to Coast H1 or Adidas Evo SL ATR. At the moment I think I prefer the MTC, but the Adidas are black and somewhat water resistant so better in the rain!

That would be my choice. Currently 25% off on sportshoes.com so under £100. Just watch the grip in bad weather if these are your only shoes.

They can be unstable for some runners. I’ve not had an issue with this, and done about 900 miles in them this year. Does seem to be a regular concern though.

This is my two shoes, evo sl atr and aero glide 3. Evo sl is for faster runs. AG3 for longer, easy runs because its more stable. Both fantastic.

I got it from here : https://slamjam.com/products/adidas-footwear-adizero-evo-sl-atr-m-black-j346743. It cost me pretty penny but got it on Dec 3 in US (shipped from Italy).

Same. I have borderline 2E width feet and my usual size is 8.5 but I was able to get US 9 for Evo SL for me. I usually like New Balance 2E but Evo SL with half size up was perfect for me. My current daily trainer.

Literally just got back from 30k @ 4:45/km and I wore the EVO SL ATR’s as there were light trail sections. I chose to wear this shoe over a more traditional road-to-trail shoe as I wanted to have some fun, and if you want to have fun, the EVO SL will definitely do that. It’s hard not to recommend but as per my first comment, there are better shoes if money is factored out. But for £100-110 (if you look around / use a code) it’s hard to find a better more fun shoe than the EVO SL. Every collection should try to have a pair in them, if affordable.

Same for me. Bought in the hype (for 50% off tho) and was disappointed by the upper, laces and tongue. It's still a fun shoe once your feet get used to them, but I just got a pair of ATR from Asos geo 78€ and they solve every Problem. Only the Gussets are a bit prominent on those... And this colorway is just pure joy https://preview.redd.it/luh2ip5j3yrg1.jpeg?width=2052&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9666236c941a4cc1933f524745d2a1913c26cde8

I went TTS and they fit great. Only the gussets are noticeable. I ran them in 14°C outside and 4°C so I can't realy judge the uppers breathability.... But they close my gap for Winter and rain running shoes (currently SB2) so i would like them a little hotter actually

The atr is kinda the shoe the regular Evo sl should have been. Such a missed opportunity. But asics still takes the cake because novablasts / superblasts simply disapear from your feet on a run. On the Evos I have to tie them perfectly for a good fit but my asics trainers? I slip in them and they are perfect. I tie them once and simply slip in and out after each run without heel slip.

I own the beloved Evo SL but honestly, the upper and tongue are a real downer. Asics shoes seem to be slightly more conservatives but whole as a package. My sb 2 are incredibly reliable, the upper is super comfortable, the lockdown is great and the midsole is energetic, forgiving and stable. Same goes for nb5, they aren't as exciting as the Evo SL but I can wear them for a half marathon distance without any discomfort.

Call me asics fanboy because I am. I have the nb4/5, sb2, msps and just tried the megablast. And honestly? Everything above nb5 for runners with a 5k time over 30 min is a waste of money. I just ran a 5k in them at 22:22 and the same effort (almost same hr, power, cadence...) in the nb5 is my current pb at 22 flat on 80% gravel. Also just got my 10 k pb in the nb5 and I hate the flimsy upper on the mb. You're trading comfort for seconds but for us regular Joe's it's not worth it. I also own the Evo Sl and I swear blindfolded every shoe feels the same

I have 150km on mine on various winter conditions. I was initially skeptical to the performance on snow, but I have found they handle all conditions very well except ice and deep, loose snow (which any non-spiked shoes struggle with tbh). Pleasantly surprised.
