My very 1st shoes is Adizero SL, got it ng 3250 (6500 reg. price) Adidas app usually has it on discount, probably wait ng double digit sale to get it 50% off and get SL2 (kasi mas okay ata yun)

The same story with the first Adidas SL. As a 89kgs runner I prefer them to my other shoes like Novablast 3 or Saucony Triumph RFG. The firmer foam really goes well for heavier builds, especially after the first kms of each run.

Neo Zen. SL is great but I feel like it wants you to go faster.

found out the hard way. I had plantar fasciitis in the past. I wasn't even wearing stability shoes, but neutral shoes from Adidas that time (Adios 7, Adizero SL1). They were neutral shoes, but the arch was high for some reason, they poke my flat feet, causing pain. Recent models including the Evo SL are free from these problems, I am free from PF as well. Are you having any issues currently? are you looking for a race day shoe?

I am 85Kg. Not exactly a hill strike runner. I just retired my Adizero SL which I was super happy with them as daily trainers. I assume SL2 will be ok too. I also use Hoka Clifton 9 (used for 2HM and now training for Full Marathon) which I am also happy with.

Pretty much the same shoe, small differences that most people won’t notice. I personally like the look of the evos better than the exos
