Adidas Ultrarun 5

Adidas Ultrarun 5 review: what runners say

Fit

Regular fit, generally true to size. Some runners report heel slippage, even when using the extra eyelet for a runner's knot.

Feel

Generous cushioning from the Bounce 2.0 foam, but with no perceptible energy return. The transition is classic and predictable; the shoe feels stable but lacks responsiveness.

Durability

Good expected durability thanks to the reinforced rubber Addiwear outsole and EVA foam that retains its properties over time. Specific mileage not indicated by sources.

Best for

Daily trainer for beginner runners or those seeking cushioning and stability on a budget. Suited to easy paces and short-to-medium distances; not recommended for those seeking speed or energy return.

Weak points

Runs hot and poorly breathable in warm conditions. On concrete, ground feel is more pronounced than on other surfaces. In-run weight feels greater than the spec sheet suggests.
