Adidas Supernova Rise GTX review: what runners say
Fit
True to size, with a tendency to run narrow for wide feet. Some runners recommend going half a size up for more forefoot room.
Feel
Soft, stable cushioning thanks to the Dreamstrike Plus with an underlying EVA layer. The ride is more stable than responsive — not a pace shoe.
Durability
100+ km reported with no signs of breakdown. Near-full rubber coverage on the outsole; not Continental, but adequate on asphalt and road surfaces.
Best for
Daily trainer for neutral runners who prioritize stability and comfort over high mileage paces. Not suited for quality sessions or faster workouts.
Weak points
The layered stack system (EVA + Dreamstrike Plus + thick insole) mutes the PEBA foam's response, disappointing runners seeking energy return. The heel bevel is pronounced and can feel uncomfortable on downhills.
