For the ultimate running experience, the Boost midsole combines soft comfort with responsive energy, providing more energy return—more consistently—than any other foam cushioning in the industry Read More
kflyLooks like non GTX - so that's good. I dislike GTX shoes - especially in wet conditions because they're going to get wet anyway and GTX takes longer to dry. This shoe has a 6.5mm drop witha neutral fit which seems good for me. It is slightly on the heavy side at 12.5 oz. but that's not a huge issue.
kflyive had the gtx for a while now and i love them. they do not get wet unless you submerge them. they take longer to dry than lightweight non-waterproof, breathing running shoes though.
Basically, if you live in a an area that isnt really hot and humid they're great. if you do, sandals, or super light shoes (in which case you don't actually care if they're waterproof anyway).
If you live in a really cold area (much below freezing), they're also too cold.
Everything else in between, the GTX rocks.
Goretex has its pros and cons. The membrane is warm and keeps water out. But it also keeps water in. So on cold and/or rainy days it's helpful. But on warm, sunny days, it's not so comfortable. It's also good for places with a lot of shallow, standing water. But as someone mentioned, the shoe will be very uncomfortable if water gets in. So imo, Goretex is best for high tops and non-Goretex for low tops.
VespaUnfortunately, the GTX versions are sold out until July. This shoe is a very versatile fit - the upper uses a seamless construction, so the shoe is able to grip a variety of foot shapes without creating hot-spots.
I wasn't super familiar with Adidas Outdoors shoes before working at Massdrop. Let me tell you - these particular shoes are pretty freakin' bad ass. If you need some tough trail shoes without being heavy, check these out. And honestly, I don't think their tech story comes through in the product text of photos. Here's some extra specs:
Sole:
*Rubber: Continental Trail King with 5.5mm lugs, inspired by the Continental Trail King Mountain Bike Tires
*60A hardness
*32% more grip, compared with our main competitors (controlled for by replicating lug patterns with competitors rubber)
Midsole:
*Boost - Compared to EVA materials, boost offers the best energy return, unleashing energy with every step.
*Endless energy return - does not compress over time like EVA
*Great comfort
*High durability through dynamic compression
*Three-times more temperature resistant than the standard EVA foam during +40 to -20 degree tests.
*High adaptability on rocky surfaces
*Boost midsole worn during record setting 2:02:57 Berlin Marathon Protection plate - A special Impact Plate is incorporated into the midsole and outsole unit for protection from sharp rocks
*Torsion System: Midfoot Extended Control to stabilize the foot
*The Torsion System is a bracket, inserted in the midfoot, which allows the foot to move naturally but also protects it from overexpansion.
Upper:
*Abrasion resistant upper weldings for reinforced protection in common blow-out areas
*One-piece upper eliminates seams in toe-box and creates a sock-like feel (only one seam in the back of the heel)
*EVA tongue ventilates and provides cushion over the top of the foot
perfect fit out of the box. put about 5 miles on them this afternoon running in the hills. very satisfying purchase. SOLID shoe. I wear a 9.5 and am generally considered narrow and low-volume feet...Adidas have consistently fit me in this size across several lines and through several decades so this was a no-brainer. Can't wait to put some more miles on them. Can definitely see doing some hiking with these too. Yea shoes!
I am waiting for the GTX version. Are you going to have it again/soon? I need the goretex for where I am going to use them. Missed out on the last run.
VespaWe will have women's GTX in stock this Spring. At this time we are sold out of Men's GTX. Inventory is always fluctuating so I will check periodically and update MD.
