Perks
The Adidas AdiStar trail runners are well-suited to running in a variety of environments. The shoe is chock-full of high-tech materials and thoughtful design choices. For example, the AdiStar has two different slots for the laces along the top of the shoe, allowing for a user to choose a tighter, more ankle-hugging fit. Another feature is the heel fabric, which is textured to prevent slipping.
Sacrifices
The AdiStar is a great all-around runner, which is also its weakness. The shoe is a bit too heavy to satisfy those desiring a lightweight shoe for street running. And while it's great for trail running, it's not as good at shedding wet conditions or scrambling over slippery terrain.
Bottom Line
Adidas' AdiStar trail runners are some of the best all-around running shoes available. The fit is great and the shoe is designed perfectly to keep your feet comfortable.
