Great shoe for a highly active person
Purchased a different color scheme direct from Adidas website, they had more options. But I came to Amazon (like many) looking for a deal and reviews. So I'm returning the favor.I've had Adidas cross-training shoes in the past so I knew what to expect and here's what those things are:- Snug fit- Narrower shoe- Last forever ** granted I've had these only a few days so I can't guarantee that one.- Good for a variety of movements.- Look hot like fire.My previous training shoe was too wide and and flared at the heel a ton. I could not use them to practice agility work, the fat heel interfered when I would bike (which I do a lot as a commute), they would loosen throughout the day, and were heavy. All of these issues are solved with this shoe. I use them for weightlifting, moderate running, shooting basketball (when I'm too lazy to switch into bball shoes), biking, and I stand in them for long periods while I'm at work (I work at a gym). I have not had issues with these shoes at all. Great support for weightlifting, decent cushion for running, narrow form factor for biking, and comfortable enough for my 8 hour shifts.Please note, these are cross trainers, not running shoes. They do not provide as much cushion or arch support as a typical running shoe would provide. I expected that with this purchase and therefore I'm happy with what I got. That is not to say that these aren't comfortable and you're unable to run in them. They will feel notably different than a typical running shoe.Traction is fantastic on this shoe, I actually like using these on the basketball court because it feels very similar to a basketball shoe in terms of floor grip.Depending on your rec-lacing of the shoe (which I recommend when you get them, the way they had them laced was a bit weird out of box) the tongue may slide sideways depending on your grip.**Only gripe that I have about the shoe is the ease of tying and lacing them. The eyelets for the laces grip them a lot so you have to be deliberate about tightening your shoe and you will not get as snug of a fit if you're trying to tie them in 5 seconds and get going. It's not a big thing, and any serious athlete prepping for a workout will actually make sure their shoes are tied correctly so this barely counts as a con.Check around for the shoe, the price is right I got them for about $40 with the right deal. Overall a great purchase I would pay about $70-$80 for these based on the quality. I have no problem relying on these for whatever I need to do.

Solid cross trainer
Very happy with this shoe. It's light and has held up well under bodyweight exercises, plyometric workouts, and shorter (3-4 mile) runs. Quality activewear look without being either boring or eye bleedingly bright.I have a fairly narrow foot and wear a size 11 in most tennis shoes, this fit true to size in length and not too loose at any point when laced up. So if you have a wider foot be careful with the sizing. Good support, grip, and feel make it enjoyable to work out in.Will have to see how it holds up over the year, but might be one of my favorite cross trainers so far.

Good Performance, Good Value... Don't raise the price Adidas.
Great fit for somewhat narrow feet. True to size. Normal width or wide feet may feel tight in these shoes. Fantastic for light jogs, but I use them mainly for resistance training workouts, stair climber, light cycling cardio, or just walking around for comfort. Great stability with the flat base and good arch support (I am not sure how these would work with a flat foot). Decent cushioning, but obviously not as good as a dedicated walking or comfort shoe. Very light and breathable, without being flimsy like some other brands who are cheaping out by making their shoes material-thin and advertising them as "minimalist" shoes... cool if you like that, but I have never had good experience with those as my feet need at least some cushion. My only big gripe with these is that the insole doesn't last very long - but that's to be expected if you're a heavier than average body weight and use them several times a week. Still, I wish the insole was better in most shoes, not just these.I would not buy these shoes for more than $54.00.

... three different pairs of these shoes and I absolutely love them as my go to gym shoe
I own three different pairs of these shoes and I absolutely love them as my go to gym shoe. These are light and sturdy which is a hard combination to find. I've had light shoes before that would end up wearing out really fast or causing a lot of pain through the sole, these shoes do not suffer from that problem at all! I can perform all of my workouts in these shoes without any issues. My favorite part about them, and the reason why I have so many pairs, is that they do not allow my foot to rotate in the shoe when I am doing agility training (ie ladder drills) from side to side. My foot feels really secure and supported in these.I do not have any complaints but there are some things you should know. First this shoe does not have much in the way of tread, I went on a muddy hike one day and didn't have any other shoe at hand, these shoes were slipping and sliding. Keep to dry or indoor use only. Second, the fabric that the shoe is made of stretches and wrinkles when you tighten the shoe. I have not had any issues with this but some may not like the distortion, I personally think it is a good thing since it means the shoe is flexible enough to be tightened around your whole foot rather than just the ankle.

Look great, feel great and light weight
Look great, feel great and light weight. I just got them and they're comfortable without any breaking in. I assume they'll be durable because every pair of adidas I've had in the past have lasted forever, but too soon for me to make that claim for this pair. I've got wider feet with narrow ankles and these shoes are great. I have plenty of width so there's no cramped feel, and they fit nice and snug around my ankles. A great buy at $45 too.

Too big, look nice.
I returned these shoes, because 13 was too large. They also bunched in the middle, pinching the sides of my feet, but I think that was because the size was too big. I like the way these shoes look, but ultimately decided on a different shoe. If you normally get a size 13 in Nike, then a 12 or 12 1/2 is probably the right size in this shoe.
