 Great Structured Running ShoeDec 28, 2009
By B. Wilson
I had severe pain in my knees and an ankle from running in shoes without proper support. About 1-2 weeks after running in these shoes, my problems were gone. The shoe has good structure for over-pronation. Shoe is light and breathes well. The heel portion of the sole is split and flexible which dissipates impact with the ground. The only small problem is that rocks will get stuck in the split. The air pocket of the heel also took in a bit of water while running on a wet/muddy trail. It's a great support shoe for street running or smooth/dry trails.

Adidas gets it right!Mar 18, 2009

There are many very good brands of running shoes, not to mention styles and function. I guess it all boils down to personal preference, but in my case, at 5'8" and weighing in at 190lbs, because of my muscle building workouts, these are just fantastic at cushioning each and every step that I take.
This as many expert runners know, minimizes pain and fatigue, thereby making you run more efficiently. I first tried these on at an Adidas store, and I was impressed with how light and comfortable they are and because they are true to size, not too long, short, wide or narrow, which is exactly what I want.
The only other shoe that I would try in my particular case, are the Brooks Adrenaline GTS8, which are the ones that I am just retiring. These shoes are absolutely amazing as well, very comfortable, light and stylish, I actually like their more simple design over the Adidas, but I decided to give Adidas a try for now.
Nevertheless, the GTS 8, are the only ones that actually put me in contact with the surface that I am running on, while at the same time providing me the support and cushion that I need.
For now, I feel that this Adidas pair, will provide me great impact support, because of the way it is designed, the materials and especially the split heel on the sole, which pretty much diffuses impact energy outwards throughout the shoe.
In short, I need to run more efficiently and for longer periods of time, with minimal amount of discomfort and I feel that these shoes will do the trick!

 Overall good shoeJun 09, 2010
By SN
This is a pretty good running shoe with tons of good cushion - good for a 205 lb guy like me that covers 30 miles or so in a week. I was able to put four miles on them the first night I pulled them out of the box. My only complaint is the design of the heel. Adidas seperated one side of the heel from the other, I think to reduce weight, but I live in the desert and constantly get rocks stuck in it. The split in the middle also isn't great for lateral movement, so I wouldn't recommend this shoe for cross training or as a common athletic shoe. If you are just looking to straight-up log miles, you'll be happy with the Salvation.

Great shoe!May 28, 2010

Married to someone who runs on pavement constantly. He has had problems with his ankles and knees, but since using these there no longer seems to be a problem. The only complaint I have is that he came home yesterday sad faced because one of the inflated pockets popped in the shoe. He is hard on his shoes, so I dont blame the product.

So far so good.May 10, 2010
By K. Fults
I have only worn these shoes a few times but they are like walking on a cloud. I myself am not a huge runner but can see where these would be fantastic for running. I would definitely recommend these to anyone who likes a lot of cushion and stability.
