Adidas Adistar BYD review: what runners say
Fit
Narrow fit, especially in the toe knuckle area and forefoot. Half-size up recommended for long-distance use.
Feel
Energetic and controlled ride from the Light Strike Pro and carbon plate combination. Sufficient cushioning for marathon paces, with a reactive toe-off and smooth transition.
Durability
Continental rubber outsole with generous coverage. Some sources report poor upper durability. Expected mileage not specified in sources.
Best for
Versatile daily trainer suited to runners looking for a single shoe across volume and varied paces, from recovery to marathon pace. Well-suited for midfoot strikers.
Weak points
Weight is a liability at paces faster than marathon pace. Short laces and an unattached tongue limit lockdown, particularly on high-volume feet.
