[Closed] PSA 25%off at Adidas today #flat shoes

Bump for the afternoon crowd

Ordered the all black ones. Cheers.

I've ordered some all black ones too. Thanks jimr80

Are they good? I'll order some for the local yoofs 😉 😀

Hora,
Their comfy,dry quickly and have 5ten stealth rubber.
Plus they don't make you look special needs

Had them for 9 months or more, very good bit stiffer than 5:10's. Wear well and less cumbersome than my 5:10's.

Bought a pair of blue ones, to go with my other pair.
They are great shoes way better than five tens

Jimr80 they're £75!!!!

My Sombrios and Teva Links rock at £30. If the adidas were anywhere near I'd buy them in a flash. £75 is bloody expensive.

Nice one Jim! Been rocking a pair of AM40s for 3 years and about time I treated myself. Well spotted 🙂

I've had a pair for a month or so. Love them! Much better and lighter than the 5 1 the s I had ages ago, really stiff too.

Cheers, been looking to get a pair of these so a bonus to order them with a good discount

£75?

*whistles*

Why does cycling stuff attract such a premium?

How do these size up?

It's a wealthy man's sport. That or its 0% APR. MTB'ers will say 'support your lbs and spend big money on bicycles' too.

My Sombrios and Teva Links rock at £30. If the adidas were anywhere near I'd buy them in a flash. £75 is bloody expensive.

Both of which are discontinued and only sold at that price for stock clearance.

Yes, it's a wealthy man's sport isn't it (that or a debt friendly passtime).

Leave off! Decent clogs cost a few bob. What would you pay for a pair of walking boots?

Would not class it a weathly persons sport, I do it and am not even approaching wealthy and neither are the people I ride with. Racing cars, yatchs are better examples.

Just ordered a pair thanks for the psa

Hora,
I never mentioned they were cheap, just discounted. 🙂

As for wealthy , i'm a manual worker who spends his hard earned on what I like dispite of the cost.
Plus their only £71.25 with the discount 😀

Stu ,
they size up as normal shoes from my experience.

Ta.

^^^ lol

They are quite wide, great for troll feet 🙂

If only I could justify them...

Noooo! Missed it!

Picked up some Trail Cross's.
Was gonna go for the Solo approach shoes as I don't like anything too bulky but the comments above and the lack of toe grip on the Solo's persuaded me.

another 9% through quidco thought the friends code is now expired

Are they wide? i was under the impression that much of the adidas stuff with stealth soles came up pretty narrow. I have hobbit, paddle size feet but I would be interested in these for the future.

I have the old Solos (Stealth sole) but needed 10.5 to fit whereas I normally take 9.5. I have wide feet but actually prefer a bit more toe room in cycle shoes. The newer (current) Solos have Traxion heel and mid-sole , just Stealth tips I think. I'm not sure but seems that Traxion is not as grippy for riding so I've avoided the newer ones. The older ones are fantastic though.
I've ordered the 10 and 10.5 Trails so if one size doesn't fit I'll see if someone here wants it for what I paid + postage. Let me know if you are interested.

Pics make them look decently wide.
The reviews I've read of the new Solo's with traxion sole suggest they are an improvement over the originals (for their intended purpose) but that may not translate to the bike. Happy I've gone with the Trail Cross' at the moment though.
Fingers crossed they don't size as tight as you've suggested though!

Yes I agree it is difficult to know how Traxion grip translates to the bike. I suspect not as good...why keep the Stealth toe if Traxion was grippier?

I ordered a blue pair of size 12s which is my usual size, the other Adidas trainers I have are all 12.5 though. As they might be too small and I don't really need them anyway was going to send them back (they wouldn't let me cancel), if anyone wants them for what I paid let me know

My 47s (my usual size) turned up and are too big. My 2FOs came up small and I have a 48, in the trail cross I reckon I'll need a 46. They don't do exchanges so they'll be going back for a refund. Will keep an eye out for sales though as one sole on the 2FOs is starting to come away and the trail cross do look to be a really nice pair of shoes. The fresh stealth sole sticks to the wooden floor!

Christened mine today and I must say how comfortable they are compared to my old five tens which feel like clogs ,lets hope they can withstand the British weather

Ordered size 10 as per my Adidas Boost running shoes and they're a bit bigger than anticipated. Wish I'd ordered 9.5 and 10 now as you can't exchange, only refund. 🙁

Mine are a tiny bit roomy with summer socks but spot on for something a bit thicker. Hopefully I'll get out to try them at the weekend!

I'd be interested to hear in reality how grippy these are.

Having read numerous reviews about other shoes (Specialized 2FO flats) being 'almost' as grippy as 5-10's, and the reality of them being not even close, I'm loathed to splash out and find them similar.

It's the same rubber compound as the 5:10s (branded the same at least as Adidas own 5.10) so should be pretty much on par, apart from any difference the tread pattern might make.

I just punted the code FRIENDS25 in and it worked. Don't know if that's because I ordered a pair before though. Did it through Quidco this time who have a £10 bonus promotion running at the moment so with that and the cashback will make them just over £54. I'm really hoping hora thinks this is an acceptable amount to pay.

Hob Nob - as I mentioned above you can hear and feel the soles sticking to a smooth wooden floor. My 2FOs have never done that.

Worked for me as well davosaurusrex thanks! Hoping the 12.5 are big enough for me, normally wear 12-13 trainers. Have used size 13 510's for the last few years however I bought a pair recently and they must have changed them slightly as they were smaller, 5mm narrower I measured which was enough to make them too narrow in the toe box. Hoping these adidas come up larger as others have mentioned

I reckon you'll be fine. I have two pairs of Adidas trainers, both are 48. The Trail Cross in 47 were over a cm too long. Ordered the 46 which I think will be bang on although I might not be able to wear them with winter socks

If not the free returns are painless. Come with a return adhesive label so stuck it on, taped up the box and dropped in at a local newsagents which is a UPS collection point

Free returns even better 🙂 I like a bit of room in the toe box for the winter and don't mind wearing thicker socks the rest of the time, will get a pair of 12's if the 12.5's are too big 🙂
