adidas Men's Senseboost Go Running Shoe

Product Information

Do you know if there will be a Tempo 10? If not what is a good replacement. I have a very hard time finding a shoe that works for me. Most are either neutral or too much stability and not flexible enough. Many big box sporting goods stores have all kinds of low quality models aimed at enticing the bargain shopper, or high-price models aimed at the fashion conscious – but these are not shoes you should be running decent mileage in.

I mildly enjoyed the Adidas Senseboost Go for running. I took it through the testing and found that it can do running well and it's great for casual wear/walking as well. It's a stylish shoe that is super comfortable for casual wear as well as it's a pretty solid runner for slow-paced runs. One of the problems that Adidas has encountered over the last decade among serious runners is legitimacy. Since 1988 Adidas has employed their proprietary Torsion system on most of their performance running shoes.The Supernova line has been around since the late 1990s and it represents Adidas’ more protective everyday training shoes. As the aforementioned Adizero line is focused around racing and faster paced training, the Supernova line is built to handle high mileage and they tend to feature a bit softer and more extensive cushioning than the Adizero shoes. Lifestyle vs Performance While these shoes were laughable at best, they also undermined the performance aspects of the Boost technology and scared many lifelong runners away. This also impacts the resale of many Adidas shoes with Boost technology. Boost midsole cushioning is both soft and responsive, protective yet resilient, and highly durable. It works great in small amounts for firmer, faster feeling shoes, and the cushioning stays largely uncompressed throughout the life of the shoe. While this technology is great in theory, there have been some issues with overall volume in the toe box of Adidas’ shoes using Primeknit, primarily the Ultra Boost. Think of Primeknit as a one piece upper of tightly knit synthetic material which flexes and comforms to the foot. The advantage here is that the fit feels customized to the wearers’ foot and it decreases the risk of blisters and hotspots.

While it seems that Adidas has realized the error of their ways, the running shoe offerings of the last two years seem to be on par with the true heritage of this great company. adidas introduced their Boost material in 2013 as a bouncy, responsive and durable compound to revolutionise running shoe cushioning. Now, this shoe is heavier than I prefer for a running shoe, which is why I recommend this for people who don’t really care about pace and more so a fast pace. It’s 12.2 oz in my size US 10.5, so it’s definitely not a light option. Long-lasting durabilityThe Torsion System involves “a thermoplastic arch support designed to allow the forefoot and rear of the foot to move independently and adapt to running surfaces without straining the foot through excess motion”. This is Adidas’ version of Nike’s Flyknit technology (sorry Adidas, Nike got there first) and there truly are very few differences in the fit, feel, and function of this upper technology. The upper of this shoe is Adidas Primeknit upper and was pretty nice in the way it fit and was engineered. Unfortunately, I just feel all of it was pretty heavy.

The grip of this shoe was pretty good. I ran on most roads but also ran on grass/light buffed trails and had no complaints. Many runners find that Adidas’ excellent mesh used throughout their Adizero series shoes offer more than enough fit accommodations, breathability, and durability to justify the exorbitant prices of Primeknit shoes. Adidas Torsion System I will start by explaining that there are a whole lot of models in the Adidas line that won’t be profiled in this guide.

Adidas claims that their outsole rubber increases traction by 15-30% over competing models in both wet and dry conditions. These Continental rubber outsoles do wear very slowly and their durability over the life of the shoe is remarkable. They also seem to handle conditions well on easy to moderate trails despite being designed for the roads. Adidas Running Shoes “Families” Adidas Adizero
