Adidas Adizero SL2 review: what runners say
Fit
Runs narrow; best suited for standard or narrow feet. Adidas itself recommends sizing up a half size; wide-footed runners should look elsewhere.
Feel
Soft, responsive ride delivered by a full-length Lightstrike Pro bed encapsulated in a Lightstrike 2.0 carrier. Light and agile, with energy return that surprises at the price point.
Durability
30+ miles with no notable structural wear. Outsole uses Adidas proprietary rubber, not Continental — some uncertainty around long-term outsole durability.
Best for
Neutral daily trainer suited for easy runs, fartlek, short intervals, and races up to the half marathon. Not recommended for runs exceeding 90 minutes or for runners seeking medial support.
Weak points
Poor accommodation for wide feet; no width variants available at launch. Some runners report that the firmness of the carrier foam becomes noticeable on longer outings.
