Cushioning Level
Cushioning level, or stack height, refers to how much shoe is between your foot and the ground. For this category, we reference the amount of cushioning below the forefoot as the heel height will be equal to or greater than the forefoot height.
Learn more about stack heights and how we measure them.-
Barefoot
0-13mm. The Shoe generally does not have a midsole and feels like there is no cushioning. This shoe is all about feeling the ground underfoot.
-
Minimal
14-18mm. The shoe has a thin midsole that allows for a natural running experience. Racing shoes and minimalist shoes are common here. These shoes offer a feeling of being connected to the road or trail.
-
Low
19-23mm. The shoe has a slightly cushioned feel and may feature added cushioning technologies. Performance training shoes and some trail shoes are common here. These offer protection during footstrike but prioritize a lightweight, grounded experience.
-
Medium
24-28mm. These shoes have a stack height that fall near the middle of the spectrum.The shoes in this category are verstaile and great for all types of runs and distances.
-
High
29-34mm. The shoe has a thick midsole and ample cushioning. These shoes are highly protective and absorb more impact than the body.
-
Maximal
35mm plus. The shoe has an extremely thick midsole and extra cushioning. The focus is on protection and soft foam underfoot with hardly any ground feel.
Stability Level
-
Neutral Running Shoes
Neutral shoes support the foot through a normal range of arch collapse and generally do not have built-in technology to correct movement.
-
Stability Running Shoes
Stability shoes are a great option for those who overpronate or need added support. These shoes help to limit the inward rolling motion of the ankle while running or walking and assist in guiding the foot straight through the gait cycle.
Product Details:
The adidas adizero Evo SL Woven blends the best of both worlds: the speed of super shoes with the versatility of trainers. First inspired by the elite Adios Pro Evo racing shoe and adapted for broadly accessible use, the Evo SL Woven is the ultimate lightweight performance trainer with both speed and durability for your weekly runs and workouts.
The highlight of this version is the switch to a Woven upper. This softer, thinner, and more flexible upgrade means you get to enjoy improved comfort and lockdown. This supple material incorporates targeted support and adds a gusseted tongue with improved strategic padding under the eyelet rows. All told, it's the same volume as the original Evo SL, now with a better fit.
Its other features remain unchanged: a full-length Lightstrike Pro midsole, the same superfoam used in elite racing shoes, offers a responsive and lightweight ride ideal for faster paces. Like the Adios Pro Evo, this cutting-edge foam is non-compression molded, which increases energy return, reduces weight, and gives ample cushioning for longer distances without sacrificing speed.
Unlike its carbon-rodded Adios Pro siblings, the Evo SL Woven retains a simple nylon shank in the midfoot for a smooth balance of flexibility and rigidity. Further, the absence of significant midsole cutouts enhances inherent stability. Meanwhile, the outsole is equipped with thin Continental rubber in the forefoot and clear rubber in the heel, enhancing traction and durability while keeping weight to a minimum.
Whether logging miles, picking up the pace, or stepping with style, the adidas adizero Evo SL Woven is engineered to handle it all with ease. Is it a speed freak or a fashion sneak? Why not both?
What You'll Love:
- Improved upper, elite looks, and speedy performance
