ADIDAS - Supernova Rise 2

I would say I generally have wide feet(maybe close to 2E but I’m not sure) I just did my first run in the EVO SL an hour ago. Came back with friction blisters on both my pinky toes. So I guess the more narrower toe box was an issue for me. I’ll probably try different lacing for a wider forefoot(hopefully), maybe get new socks or Vaseline my pinky toes. But in the mean time I’ll go back to the adidas supernova rise 2.

Hey, I also just started running again. My PB, six years ago, was 5k in 34 min (gotta start somewhere, right) and I'm aiming for the 30 min run now. I overpronate a bit and also look for shoes with a wide toe box. De back of my foot (heel?) is very narrow. I currently own an old pair of Saucony Liberty Iso and they have been great! But I'm from the Netherlands and they soak up every drop of rain (the goretex sounds good lol). Today I tried the Nike Structure 26 and the Pegasus 41. I really have to size up en the toebox isn't as wide as my Saucony's. I do like the feel of the Structure 26. I have now ordered the Adidas Supernova Rise 2. The are designed for comfort during running with a slightly wider toebox (I hope that's true) and they are said to be a neutral shoe with some support for overpronation. I am by no means an expert, but I do think when a shoe feels too snug, it probably is. Good luck on your search and keep it up with the baby, my kids are bigger en I'm only now starting to get back at it.

Yeah I just tried the Adidas and wow, they feel amazing! I'm not looking at Nike anymore lol.

Good to hear! I’ve got a pair sitting in my cart right now…I did order a pair of the Adidas Boston 13 first so I’m waiting to see how that goes. May just end up getting the SB 2 after all though just to have another solid pair of shoes ready to go.

Thanks for the input. I got a pair of the Supernova Rise 2 for free a couple of months back (using some of my club Adidas points!) but haven’t really used them much yet as they definitely were slower than the EVO SLs…but it sounds like I’ll need to throw them back on and give them another shot.

Mine is all city/urban roads so I don’t trust a single driver to be running with traffic. Already have had to jump onto the curb a few times to avoid getting hit so definitely can’t trust what I can’t see coming at me. I just ordered a pair of the Boston 13s. Was able to snag 20% off by using Apple Pay.

Without knowing your pace, weight, etc. I highly recommend the Supernova Rise 2. Underrated shoe in this forum. It can handle 4:00 minutes x km without problems while being cushioned and stable por long and easy runs. You can use the Boston for races or intervals and Supernova Rise for easy or long runs. Btw unless you get a good discount on the first Rise try to get the Rise 2, it is much better for longer runs.

Im a bigger runner (was 220 now 180) and also a heel striker. I've been through a lot of cushioned shoes recommended for bigger runners (Triumph 19, Nimbus, Superblasts ) and I had a lot of issues with my shins and knees. If I could do it all again I would use a slightly firmer stable 'every day' shoe (right now I'm using the Adidas Rise 2 and Rebel v4). I'm no expert at all so take this with a grain of salt, but I just wonder if those max cushioned shoes can sometimes give you a false sense of security and allow you to plod along with bad form on the day, but pick up injuries. I feel like I know where I am (in terms of form, cadence, pain etc) in a slightly firmer shoe if that makes sense.

I really like my Adidas Rise 2's and think they're very underrated as a daily with a bit of pop and good stability. The Vomero plus may compliment Evo SL's better if you're after a much softer recovery shoe.

Same, I also sold the EVO SL because they were too tight. The Supernova Rise 2 was fine, EVO SL is way tighter.

Hey man! This is not my post but I feel like it can also help, I actually made a post asking for a second pair recommendation. So basically I got the supernova rise 2 back in December, and I was thinking I could get a second pair to rotate and also to get a different feeling when running. I’m still unsure of what I want to achieve as I’m just running for fun right now so usually I do 5-10k and maybe once the weather gets better I can do longer. I used to do track and field (400/800m) and stopped running a few years as I got tired and have started running a bit. What would you recommend to me? I noticed you talking about the B13 but those have the carbon plates right? Would it be too harsh on my legs? But maybe could be fun running in them as they are a faster shoe right? The evo SL I liked them but I could see how unstable they were hence why I went with the supernova rise 2. Thank you and sorry for the this xD

Hey there congrats for the step up from 10k to HM. I just crossed that river an year ago I’ll share my experience of the ones I own! I am 34M 72kg midfoot striker Supernova rise 2 ; are super stable shoes for recovery to slow runs, they like to go slower than your slow runs. They can get into marathon pace but fail as soon as u pick up even a tad bit. Many a times I end up doing easy 21k in them (without intentions to do one), although in the end 3-4K, I always end up wishing if it had just a bit more cushioning, for which I have bought SNR3, & like u , I went a size up than my usual running shoe size in adidas and I am trying to deal with heel slip with runner knot and thick socks. Haven’t run in them yet, keeping them to use later in the year. But SNR3 can be great option for ur HM training No idea with B13, but I have B12: I find them great for uptempo efforts and sometimes intervals. Did my 10k pb in them. I would prefer to race in them instead of training (daily) in them. Quite firm compared to Rise 2, but I like to diversify to stimulate between different foams and drops Superblast 2: stable but has only one gear: Marathon pace, I took them for HM distance today and they felt great until I wanted to end fast and they just don’t like anything beyond threshold paces, it was exhausting to run at max speed with them . Also they are firm , I have heard SB3 is softer but don’t plan on buying them until they go on discount. I wouldn’t suggest Superblast 2 as only one shoe rotation trainer! Novablast: it is a bit (just a bit) unstable of them all , but nowhere as unstable as EVO SL, i love them for all distances and all paces except intervals, for which I use B12/nike peg plus. ________ I would suggest a 2 shoe rotation (trust me u need rotations to have a better experience and more life out of ur shoes) SNR2 (recovery and easy) + B13 (intervals and uptempo). Or Novablast (everything except interval)+ B13 /Adios 9 (intervals) Like it or not, NB5 is a great one shoe rotation trainer to start building up endurance.

IMO supernova is not as versatile as pegs for threshold paces, no doubt it’s the king of easy runs but I have to put efforts to speed them up unlike pegs

I rotate Evo SL with Supernova Rise 2

This sounds exactly like the Adidas Supernova Rise 2. Adizero SL2 lacks a bit of stability while Pegasus lacks cushion. Saucony Ride has an extra 4-6mm stack. Not sure 37mm heel could be called "thin midsole". Boston aren't dailys, it's tempo.
