Adidas - Terrex Soulstride Trail Running Shoes

I went from hiking to trail running a little over a year ago and have used 3 different shoes so far: * Vans Ultrarange: mostly used these because they were my casual hiking shoes and had good cushioning. they worked fine for the short distances I started with but nowhere near the grip and comfort needed for a longer treks * Altra Lone Peak 8: my first trail running shoe because the zero drop and large toebox intrigued me. I also wanted something that could double as a hiking shoe since I also do that a lot. I really like them especially for more technical runs as the lack of a platform makes it feel like you're gripping the trail. They lack as much of a cushioning/stack as others so they can't really be used every day, especially if you're going long distances. I will probably keep using them for hiking and upgrade when they reach their limit. * Adidas SoulStride: just recently bought these mostly because I had a coupon, they were already on sale, and I needed a second pair of running shoes so I could go out more regularly. Since they're new to me, I am still getting used to them but I have been working on increasing my distances and they seem to be working well for that. The extra cushioning (as compare with the Lone Peaks) is great as is the 'rocker' design that almost naturally rolls my foot forward. Love the way they almost feel effortless to run in at times. Not a PR shoe necessarily (though I did get close to a PR the first time I ran in them), but definitely ideal for longer runs, especially ones that involve multiple surfaces. I am guess they won't be quite as good on technical routes, but I haven't tried them there. Probably will work well for hiking, but the extra elevation from the stacks may not feel as intuitive on rougher terrains as the Lone Peaks with their close to the ground feel. ETA: as others have said, trail running shoes are an individual thing. There's not one or two shoes that are far and away the best. What I did was read reviews, focusing on different pros/cons, and paid close attention to how I walk, run, and hike for a while before deciding on the Lone Peaks based on that.

+1 for terrex. I've had Ax3s and when they died I replaced those with Ax4s. Just also got some terrex soulstrides and they are promising so far.

I’m planning to wear the Adidas Terrex ASU’s for my upcoming 100, but it’s on a mostly flat, runnable trail. I wouldn’t choose to wear them on any single track, as they’re too unstable laterally for me. But I’ve run a marathon in them as well as the last 35 miles of JFK, and got best times for both. (3:49 marathon). Best of luck in your 100 — enjoy!

Hoka challengers or adidas terrex for dry days, Salomon quest 4 gore tex for wet/muddy/snowy days

Adidas Terrex for dry days, North Face waterproof trail shoes rain/snow days

I use adidas terrex. Had them for 3 years and they’re holding up great

Sabes que ahora tengo esas, y antes tuve las Supercross 3, y esas me parecieron mejor precio/calidad. Los tacos de la suela son más duros, y son bastantes más económicas. Lo que si aproveche estos días fue comprar unas Adidas terrex que estaban a 111k, ya las probé y me gustaron bastante!

Adidas Terrex after years in Keens. They're lighter and I can usually find them for $60

I used Terrex Trail Runners for less than a full season before both of them split across the sole in basically the same place. The narrow way from side to side not heel to toe. I've had an old pair of Nike Free Runs which are at least 7 years old at this point that I chose to use as my summer disc golf shoes and they've lasted the entire season without crapping out on me. Overall, you're probably right lol. But the trail runner experience I have is oddly inferior. Personally I've found that basketball shoes are actually fantastic for disc golf. However good luck finding a pair of those in gore-tex for the wet season.

Addidas Terrex all the way!

Got my terrex for $49 at sierra. Whitin for dry days, and a pair of xero boots that I waxed for ankle protection.

I traveled for a year and did many hikes around the world including the Andes. I had the Adidas Terrex Trail runners and they were the perfect shoe. On my bigger hikes in Patagonia and Colombia, I was able to rent boots where more heavy duty footwear was recommended. My terrex sufficed for other trails in the Andes, though. Renting gear is super common.

I got a pair of Adidas Terrex on sale 2 years ago and they have served me quite well.

My many pairs of Adidas Terrex shoes have been very durable, Saucony a bit less so, because of the open rubber. Least durable for me were Altras.

Merrells. The Adidas Terrex wore out too fast.

For wet rocks, Continental rubber on Adidas Terrex shoes was quite nice when I had them few years ago (don’t remember the exact model though)

I went to go outdoors last weekend and got some Adidas terrex out of the sale section for £45 and they had another pair I would have bought, if they were my size, for £24! So I’d definitely recommend going there just to try stuff on, check the sales section and check online for lower prices of the ones you do like.

Summertime, I like to wear my non-waterproof shoes so they are cooler and more breathable. Just got some Merrell MTL Long Sky 2’s and they’re decent for both traction and lightness. Got a pair of Adidas Terrex for the cold and wet courses. And Merrell Moab’s for dry cold places.

I’ve found the adidas Terrex a pretty good all rounder, would need to check the exact model though as they all sound the same.

Same issue: toe box too narrow; very stiff; does not cushion at all. Surprised!

I have this, and it's amazing. I even use it for rucking.

Terrex trail runners. Only downside is that some of them aren't water proof.
