Geoffrey Mutai Shoes: Adidas Adizero Adios Review

Geoffrey Mutai Wins NYC Marathon

I Guess alot of people out there are wondering what shoe Geoffrey was wearing when breaking the record yesterday at the Boston Marathon? He was wearing the Adidas Adizero Adios.

This running shoe has become famous as the world’s fastest, helping Haile Gebrselassie to achieve a world record breaking 2:03:59 marathon time. The running shoe has been designed to be ultra light weight in order to help you achieve your best possible time. The Adidas Adizero has been designed primarily for neutral runners and due to it’s lightweight design and cushioning is perfect for those wanting to achieve longer distances whilst maintaining ultimate comfort. Whether its improved time or distance that you are after, these shoes could be the answer.

The shoe weighs just 210 grams and is made using a solvent free synthetic suade upper, not only does this enhance breath ability and comfort, it is also environmentally friendly – a first for most running shoes on the market and something I’m sure the fell runners amongst you will appreciate, thank you Adidas! The quick strike outer sole not only decreases the weight of the shoe but also improves its flexibility and durability, allowing your foot to shape the shoe as you run whilst maintaining great support.

Now is this a Minimalist shoe? I'm sorry this isn't you don't see many elite runners wearing Minimalistic shoes. Don't get confused thinking because a shoe is lightweight it means it's minimalist.
