4th Pair of Adidas in a row.

I have used many brands of athletic brands but none have delivered the consistency of Adidas. This pair is my fourth pair in a row now and I bought them on blind faith. They have not disappointed. There are only three points I would highlight with these shoes to consider.

1. They are not as well ventilated as some might like, especially tri-athletes.
2. The bounce soul adds a bit of height to them so if you like lower shoes then these are not for you.
3. They fit a little more snugly than other Adidas so if you wear thick socks go up a half size.

Otherwise they are great. I will follow up after I have put over 100 miles on them.

Editorial Review :

Get off to a good start. The adidas Allegra is a proven performer, designed with functional, PU-coated leather for a classic running look and air mesh for breathable comfort.

Customer Review :

Incredible comfort!

I recently bought this Allegra 2 after owning the Allegra 1 for over a year. The Allegra series is amazing! This is the most comfortable running shoe I have ever worn. The comfort comes from the mesh surroundings. If you look closely at the white areas on the shoe, you will realized that it's really just a mesh, and not a solid material. This offers incredible flexibility. But it is also firm at the same time. It's very light weight also.

You have to try this out for yourself, then you might realize how other shoe designs doesn't offer as much comfort as this. At least for me that was the case. I don't usually spend more than $100 for a pair of running shoes. And this is almost half of that.

MR740 Running Shoe

I'm very impressed with this shoe especially for the price. It fits true to size. I will definitely look for something similar the next time I'm ready for a casual walking/running shoe.

Nice shoes but, too tight.

These shoes came looking very nice but they were very narrow. My husband can usually buy right off the rack but these were just too tight. We had to return them.

Best running shoes I've ever owned

Outstanding cushioning and fit! Best running shoe I've ever worn, bar none. I've never given Saucony's a second glance until the salesman at Marathon Sports recommended that I give them a try recently. It was love at first stride! : ) I'll never go back to Nikes or Asics again (as long as Saucony keeps making these Triumph 5's, that is!).

Rating :

Great cushoning running shoe.

The ProGrid Triumph 5 is my second pair of Saucony shoes. It is a great midsole cushioning shoe perfect for someone like me who underpronates and has a moderate to high arch. Very comfortable shoe.

Rating :

Some pluses; one negative

I've been wearing Triumphs for the past 5 or 6 years and run a couple of 13 milers per week on the road in my community with elevation changes. The pluses for the "5" are: lighter, "cooler", a bit more responsive and a better heel. The negative: the forefoot does not seem to be as cushioned as previous models (I pronate rapidly and tend to move weight to my forefoot accordingly).

Rating :

Great shoe. Good price.

Saucony Triumph 5 feels great and runs even better. Although it is not the most comfortable when standing, it has the right amount of cushion and support and spring when running. Is relatively light although some other running shoes weigh less. Shoe sells for about $120 elsewhere. Very happy with this purchase.

great shoe and great service

It is a great shoe and it was very fast delivered for a great price too. Do I need to say more.

Questions & Answers

Question : Why is too much cushion in a running shoe bad?
I read somebody saying that Nike Shox sucked because they have too much cushion... but how is that bad in a running shoe.. wouldn't you want a lot of "shock" to absorm the impact? I know I would.. I currently have shinsplints in my left leg, and achilles tendinitis in my right heel.... I think cushion is a might fine idea.. lol

Answer:
You have to have a shoe that is best for you. Some people need a soft shoe, the problem is if it has too much cushion you do not have as much control. Meaning that your foot moves around, and if you have ankle problems you are more prone to injury. Also if you have a foot plant problem you are not going to have the correct that was designed in the shoe if the cushion is too soft.

Question : What running shoes should I get?
Puma shoes? Asics? Adidas Microbounce? Nb Zips? Nike shox? Under Armour? I like light-weight, cushioned, comfartable, running shoes. What should i get? Give me an answer and a reason and you could get 10 points.

Answer:
Brooks running shoes all the way. Nike is the longest running craze, but if you actually compared the shoes, they're definitely not the best. But you never know what suits you the best until you try. Shoes run out after 300 miles, so whichever. The only Nike shoe I really loved were the Nike Frees. Running barefoot works different muscles in your feet which compensate for different muscles in your legs. The Nike Frees are SO comfortable because they're meant to feel like you're not wearing any shoes, and that means they're also really light weight, yet cushioned because they're training shoes at the same time so it evens out the impact. Plus, they're super cool looking.

Question : Which Neutral Cushion Running shoes would you recommend me if i'm loging on Concrete/Road and Trails.?
I Prefer Lots of cushioning.

Answer:
I Prefer Lots of cushioning.

Question : I'm a high mileage runner and need a new stability/very cushioned running shoe. What do you suggest?
I need cushion on my forefoot and the rest of my foot. I run in Nike Equalon 2+ and they are too squishy and flatten out after just 50 miles. I loved the straight Nike Kantara and Nike Equalon+, but they are discontinued. Please help!

Answer:
Well since you know that you need a stability/ very cushioned running shoe, then you probably already know that the skylon is definitely not for you. Its a neutral shoe with medium cushioning. Since you want a shoe with extra cushioning, the following would fall under what I like to call the Cadillac running shoes series: Asics Kayano, Nike Equalon, and the Brooks Infiniti. I highly recommend the Brooks Infiniti. It is definitely the most cushioned stability shoe on the market. And since its a Brooks Shoe, it is guaranteed to last you at least 350 miles before you start to feel the "bounce" diminish. Hope that helps. Oh and I'm a collegiate runner who also works in a running specialty shop, so my suggestions aren't unfounded.

Question : What kind of running shoes should I buy?
My ankles are slightly pronated (they curve inwards) and tend to get sore after I exercise. Should I buy cushioned, stabilized, or lightweight, etc. running shoes?

Answer:
I don't know where you live, but where I live in Southern California, their are two shoe shops highly esteemed in my opinon: Fleet Feet, and A Snail's Pace. I suggest looking those stores up online and see if there are any locations near you. Anyways, they do a rigorous examination of your shoe, and then they choose the shoe they think is the best for you, you run around in them for 5-10 minutes, if you like them buy them, if you don't they pick another one. Usually they know which shoe is best for you. You might also want to do some research online and see if any shoes are specifically made for your case, because I know they make shoes with different support levels, and even shoes for flat feet. Also, before you buy them, make sure you run in them for a good 10 minutes around the store, walking up and down the aisle won't tell you whether they will hurt after a while or not. Hope this helps!

Question : Do you think that some running shoes train faster than others?
I have trained in Asics gel cushioning system for years, and recently received a pair of Nike. Asics have provided great stability and protection through the years and been great shoes especially the original GT-II. These Nike air cushioning system shoes seem to give me more spring and creates faster turnover and I find myself training at a faster pace. Ever heard of runners taking long runs with one brand and fartlek or tempo runs with another brand. Make any sense to anyone? Not talking about racing flats, just standard training shoes about the same weight. Anyone have favorite brands they trade off for different effects? Thanks in advance for your input.

Answer:
go buy nike frees...they feel amazing when you run....it feels like your floating hahah

Question : Best running shoes for cushion support? What to get?
It's a choice between Asics Gel Nimbus or Adidas Supernova Cushion 7s..... whats the best out of these two only? Thanks!

Answer:
Honestly, I wouldn't listen to people's recommendations on here. Their footstrike is probably different than yours. Their foot shape could even be different. All of these things could effect what is good for you vs good for them. I would go to a running store and have them fit you with shoes. Try both on. And also, be open to possibly getting a different pair of shoes if neither one works out.

Question : What are good mens running shoes to buy?
I run on pavement around my neighborhood. I try to do 3 miles a day. Maybe something with cushion/durability. What are some good mens running shoes?

Answer:
My favorite running shoes are Asics, just as everyone else said, but they are not for everyone. There are different types of shoes for different types of runners. It all depends on how you move your feet when you run: do you pronate (turn your foot inward) or supinate (roll your foot outward)? How heavy are you? How often do you run? Are you prone to injury? These are all things to consider when selecting the appropriate running shoe. The best thing to do is to go to a nearby running specialty store. A worker there should talk with you and watch you run and can reccomend the right type of shoe for you. Good luck with your running.

Question : Cheap running shoes with puffy cushioning?
I need recommendations for some running shoes under $80, with alot of cushioning. It can be any brand, any year. I'm used to running with lighter shoes, but I am about to increase my mileage to about 50 a week and want to experiment with some heavier cushioned shoes before I committ bigger bucks for one of those luxury cushioned Asics models (or something).

Answer:
you could always get some Dr Shcolls cushioned insoles --- they work well K-mart specials ....

Question : Doe a person's body weight effect the lifespan of their running shoes?
They say that a pair of running shoes should last about 4 to 5 months while running 10 to15 miles a week. Do these figures apply to everyone? I mean, my running partner weighs about 110 lbs and is 5'2" while I weigh about 165 lbs and am 5'8". How could it possible be true that our shoes are good for the same amount of time? The cushioning in my shoes should wear out faster, right?

Answer:
You would think that all things would be equal, but I can tell you from experiance that weight will play a small role in running shoe wear. A typical running shoe will last 400 - 600 miles, But I am 6'3" and weight in at 205lbs, typicall running shoes last 10 - 12weeks, or about 400Km which is only 240 miles. Ascis in my opinion last longer then any other brand, with adidas a close second. Suconey seems to wear very quickly and I have heard from others the same complaint. Harry
