Women's Alphabounce Beyond Running Shoes

I have had the Alphabounce Beyond for just over a month or so now and felt that myself enough time to write on honest review. I will start off with the pros and cons for folks who want a summary and then write a detailed review/observation log below.Pros:- Serious bang for the buck (among the best compared to shoes in the same category/price point)- Materials feel premium for such a price point, something Adidas has been generous with for many recent models- Versatile use whether it be for daily tasks/work or exercising- Strong variety in color options as well as an appealing look that seems to feel appropriate for many occasions- Comfortably wide, will accommodate many foot shapes, fits true to size-Easy to clean with a cloth towel and water (light soap if needed)Neutral:-Neither on the light or heavy side when compared to competitors-Tad wider outsole than previous gen shoe that some may find too wide in appearanceCons:-Some may find the laces a tad long if they are used to only tieing single knot lacesConsidering the price point of this shoe you are getting an excellent deal due to the shoe's ability to be worn in several manners. Upon my purchase arriving I felt no break-in time was needed for the shoe. Runners and those who workout regularly will feel satisfaction in the bounce technology as the sole material seems to offer excellent energy return and stability without feeling overly hard or uncomfortable. This same technology is also great for those who merely want to go on walks and accomplish daily tasks such as grocery shopping or going to a job/career where standing and moving about is typical.The various meshes and layers that make up the shoe provide an excellent sense of lockdown and stability while also providing interesting textures that give the shoe a distinct look and feel. In my book, the most notable material has to be the lining of the inside and well as on the heel tab due to the fact it provides a silky sensation upon entry or exit. The liner also feels great while the shoes are on feet and do not overheat or feel slippery. I also own the previous generation Alphabounce and felt great satisfaction in that purchase as well. This newer model happens to improve a few things here and there, most notably a slightly broader base that feels more supportive, a stronger and more premium looking heel cage, subjectively a better-looking shoe as a whole.As a whole anyone purchasing these shoes should feel they have made a great purchase, my older pair has lasted well over a year with just some wear in the bottom sole; a quick tip, occasional cleaning with an old brush and some water restore the look of these things! Hope you found my review to be helpful, it was a pleasure writing about a product that has excited me so much over this period of time! I will post a couple pictures for reference (note I wear a size 11 and am 6'2" perhaps that will give you some sense of scale while on feet)

These shoes are so beautiful and hot. Looks better than the pictures. The sides might look too large but it's perfect. It is really good looking. The continental rubber on the bottom of the shoe also lasts a long time (don't believe what the other people say about it). It's really good and comfortable. The only thing is, is that you don't want to put these shoes through extremely hard workouts. They weren't meant for those either. It's good for your normal stuff at school like running, basketball, soccer, all that PE stuff. Just the cloudfoam if you use it really hard like intense basketball turns and twists and rub the sides, the foam (the white thing at bottom of shoe) the patterns kind of get off but that's expected because it's what should happen. So if you buying these shoes for anything other then like supreme hard, tryhard, workouts its good for everything else. I usually play basketball a lot and I wear these shoes and they last really well. I wouldn't complain about this shoe. Also, the cloudfoam actually doesn't rub off that easily, I'm just that tryhard good basketball player that goes tryhard.This shoe is just perfect. 100% <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3Edit 2022:Bought in 2019, now august 2022still going hardalmost like newThe sole is a bit rubbed off but still goodThis shoe is crazy

Cannot say enough how much I love this shoe! I have always been an adidas guy, but I was skeptical of the new look adidas. After purchasing and wearing these shoes in (which did take a few days to be totally comfortable) I can say that these may be the most comfortable shoes I have owned. It is a huge plus that they also look spiffy with casual shorts, jeans, or gym wear. I wear them for working out (weightlifting mostly) and every day wear. I have not used them for athletic purposes, and I do not think they would make great shoes for any sport outside of road/track running. If you are looking for a comfortable shoe that is mostly true to size and looks great, look no further! Once you get these on and tied they are also easy to slip on and off, an added bonus of time saving!

I usually wear somewhere between 8 and 8.5 and I took the risk and ordered 8. Fit perfectly especially if you have flat wire foot. Shoe aesthetic is on point and the main reason why I bought it. And really comfortable for casual use and running. Reason why I gave 1 star off is because I noticed a pain located on top of the foot(don’t know the bone name of that part). I gave 1 another day to give another chance as I thought this shoes just needed to be break in. I was wrong. The pain became worse to point where I took of the shoes and bought a pair of cheap flip flop that entire day. Top of the feet was in pure pain. But overall it’s not the shoes fault as I think it could’ve been the way my feet is structured and for some odd reason, Nike free running is still best shoes for my foot. But if you wore Addidas in the past( my first time) I’m pretty sure you’ll have no problem with this one since they design their shoes almost identical in terms of shape and structure of the shoes.

If I could find a basketball version of these that fit the same, but had ankle support, I'd buy them right now. I have used these to play basketball several times, though, and they are all around better than my basketball shoes, except for the ankle support. I like the style and color, they fit great, my feet feel much better after wearing them for a long day of being up and moving vs my previous shoes. I like the soft heel/achilles area that allows me to slide my feet in without hands, and not have to worry about damaging the back of the shoe. Personal preference as I hate tying and untying shoes haha
