Daily Trainers

As the broad base of the running shoe pyramid, daily trainers are the definition of a go-to running shoe. They prioritize dependable comfort, support, durability, and routine versatility. They're a staple in every runner's closet. If you're newer to running shoes, you can confidently start your journey here.
Performance Trainers

Performance trainers (or "super trainers") blend elements of daily trainers and super shoes, often giving you the benefits of advanced foams and plates, but adapted for daily training. They make fast runs faster and long runs easier. Highly versatile, many are also great choices as accessible racing shoes.
Super Shoes

The pinnacle of the pyramid, super shoes are the fastest running shoes you can buy. They're designed to race your absolute best and are the apex of running shoe technology and innovation. Often built with carbon fiber plates and cutting edge superfoams for the highest energy return, they're made for ultimate racing speed.

Women's Running Shoes by Surface

Roads & Pavement

Road running shoes feature smooth outsoles that are designed for running on paved surfaces such as roads, sidewalks, and bike paths.
Smooth Trails & Fireroads

Designed to handle most trail runs, these shoes prioritize comfort and a smooth ride. These shoes are great for anything from smooth singletrack, park trails, and fireroads making them ideal for those who run from their doorstep on streets before hitting the trail.
Rocky & Technical Trails

These shoes are best used for hard, rugged trails such as shale, granite or sandstone where grip on smooth surfaces and underfoot protection are important.
Soft & Muddy Trails

Designed for use in muddy, soggy conditions, these shoes feature very aggressive outsoles that dig deep into soft ground for exceptional traction.
Snowy & Icy Trails

These shoes feature technical outsoles designed to grip snowy and icy trails making them ideal for winter trail running.

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:

If the original adidas adizero Prime X Strung was a rule breaker, then consider the Prime X Strung 2 a rule destroyer. The Prime X Strung 2 features a completely new design to deliver an even more innovative and (more importantly) faster ride than the previous version. While this shoe won't be seen on the feet of the pros at World Athletics sanctioned races due to its many illegal features, it is a fantastic option for the non-pro who wants to experience the most innovative ride that a running shoe can offer.

Starting with the midsole, the Prime X Strung 2 not only features the same mind blowing stack height of 50mm in the heel, but now also features a leaf spring carbon plate that has to be seen to be believed. Strategically placed within the leaf spring plate is an incredibly soft and bouncy foam insert in the forefoot called Energy Core. The combination of 50mm of Lightstrike PRO, the carbon leaf spring plate, and Energy Core results in an incredibly springy and energetic ride that makes running faster and farther easier than ever, making the Prime X Strung 2 an easy choice for long runs, race day, and everything in between.

In the outsole, this shoe features ultra grippy and durable Continental Rubber in the forefoot and a super sticky and incredibly lightweight textile rubber the rest of the way—a combination that works to deliver maximum traction and high performance in any weather condition. Wrapping this shoe up is the hyper-adaptable strung upper that provides more flex and comfort than the previous version.

Overall, the adidas adizero Prime X Strung 2 offers a completely unique look and ride and continues to push the limits of innovation so you can push past your own.

How We Measure Our Shoe Specs

We measure every shoe in-house to provide accurate and consistent details.
Weight

The weight is based on a Men's size 9 for Men's and Unisex shoes or Women's size 8 for Women's shoes. The weight listed is for a single shoe, including the laces.
Heel Stack

The heel stack refers to how high your heel sits above the ground when wearing shoes. Based on Men's size 9 as the standard.
Forefoot Stack

Forefoot stack refers to how high the ball of the foot sits above the ground when wearing shoes. Based on Men's size 9 as the standard.
Heel-toe Offset

Heel-toe offset (drop) is the difference in height between the heel stack and the forefoot stack. We use the number given to us by the brand.

How We Measure Shoe Fit

All measurements are based on Medium width.
Fit (width) options are Narrow - Snug - Average - Roomy - Wide.
Sizing (length) options are Short - True - Long. Note: fit is relative to the "average" running shoe.
We partner with SmartLast, a program by Heeluxe, to use advanced shoe-measuring technology, to provide objective measurements for toe box, midfoot, and heel widths as well as overall length.

Technologies

MIDSOLE

Lightstrike PRO foam compound offers high rebound and lightweight cushioning that continues to deliver top finishing times on the world's biggest stages.
Carbon Leaf Spring Plate represents a true innovation in the running world and delivers a highly propulsive ride and bouncy toe-off.
Energy Core foam pod is incredibly soft and resilient and sits between the carbon leaf spring plate to offer the pop and bounce that results in a propulsive and efficient turnover.

OUTSOLE

Continental Rubber in the forefoot offers flexible durability and excellent traction.
Textile Rubber elements are added for sticky grip that helps with traction and stability.

UPPER

One-Piece Strung Upper is engineered using innovative technology to provide an adaptable fit.

Prime X 2 SprungThis should be Prime X 2 Sprung because it springs you to your next stride. I weigh 190lbs. and I compress the foam well and feel the bounce back the entire run. The strung upper is accommodating to my wider feet. The midsole is more than enough cushioning and responsive when I run marathon pace and quicker. The outsole has no wear at all after 20 miles. The only difficulty was finding a good heel lockdown even with the runner’s knot. It was either tie laces looser and experience heel lift our have lace bite pain by my ankle. I solved the problem by purchasing adhesive heel grips and tongue pads. Now I feel no heel lift or lace bite and really enjoy these shoes for longer uptempo training and I will race in them too.

Like memory foam on a diving boardCompared to the Nike Invincible Gen 1's, these Strungs are a whole new ballgame. They're like thick memory foam on a diving board; comfy on the knees with a very responsive stride. While my speed didn't feel like it improved, I do believe I needed less effort for the same speed. The only downsides I've noticed so far are more-sore-than-usual calves and slight instability and rocky terrain.

Near perfect for bigger runnerI'll by saying I'm a sneakerhead. My rotation currently is Rocket X2, Vaporfly 3, Super Comp V2 and now the Strung x 2. I'm 6'0 205-210lbs run about 25-40 miles a week. I tried the first strung and hated how unstable it was at the heel and ended up returning it. The Strung 2 is more stable, its bouncy and the upper while kinda of stiff has not caused any blisters. The upper is very breathable and has no hot spots. My wife also bought a pair and loves them, shes a wide footer & I was shocked she didn't complain. The only down side to this shoe is the weight. But I I feel like its mostly noticeable while walking or super slow paces of like 11:30 -12:00 min/mile. The shoe feels great at 8:00 to 10:00min/mi pace. I would definitely recommend this shoe for longer slower runs. The price is definitely a turn off. If you do not want to spend $300+ the rocket 2 is fantastic. If you don't want to spend that much I'd go the the Super Comp trainer v1. Hope this helps.

Lots of tech but huge pain pointAdidas throwing the kitchen sink of technology in this shoe. Major issue is the small plastic upper piece on top of laces. It definitely hits/stabs into the top part of foot for most people it seems

Not for the light runnerReally enjoying this shoe so far. However, it’s not for everyone. I have all three versions of the Prime X, and this one is by far the best if you weigh over 200lbs. It may still work for those in the 160-200 range. Anyone under 200 may have difficulty compressing the two plates enough to get the benefits. It’s heavier than the previous strung, but far easier to run in. Slightly wider, it’s much more stable. I’m sure going with plates instead of rods has helped. I don’t really notice the weight on foot. It compensates by giving such a springy sensation. If I had to compare this shoe to another, I’d say it’s a lighter, slight firmer, more responsive SC Trainer V1. I’ll say it again, if you’re light, look for something else. Everyone else, especially Clydesdales like myself, it’s worth the hefty price tag.

Extremely forgiving for the kneesI'd been running for last 10 years. While training for the 2019 Boston Marathon I had a serious knee injury that required a very invasive surgery, high tibial osteotomy and meniscus cleaning. I started to run 2 months ago, a year after, and read about the adidas Prime x2. Thanks to this shoe, I am running regularly because of the protection it offers. I feel like running in a cloud and, even though the sole is very high, the shoe feels very light and responsive. It is definitively suited for long runs and daily mileage, not for competing. I have also tried these for controlled tempos and it behaves adequate. Highly recommended if you are looking for a forgiving shoe, suitable for long and daily runs, and amazing durability.

3 Stars After Modification: Remove EyeletsThis shoe gets a 1.5 star rating overall. A 0 star for comfort, and a 3 star after modifications explained below. Out of the box, this shoe is heavy. It is a heavy trainer, heavy like the Boston series road running shoes. It's advertised a rule breaker for racing PRs. It is a heavy trainer! Race in a shoe half the weight! The Continental outsole should get you 800-1000 miles unless you have bad running form and rub the ground on each landing. Or run lots of downhills. On a short test run the shoes seemed okay. But after maybe four miles, the shoes started to hurt under the eyelets. This shoe fails the Hand In Shoe Test! This is where you put your hand palm up in the shoe and feel underneath all the shoe upper which should be smooth. Nope! It has all kinds of things that will cause pain in the uppers of your feet! How Adidas could put this on the market when it fails the Hand In Shoe Test is hard to understand. How Adidas could put this on the market without testing it on 20 mile long road runs is hard to understand. My feet were in a 9 out of 10 on the pain scale in a long run. And hurt all night afterwards. I had to modify the Prime X2 to make it useable. This is what I did: I removed all four eyelets from each shoe, so 8 eyelets removed total, the four nearest the toes. Then I used the original laces through the now open eyelets. Basically, the pain was gone. But I still could remove two more eyelets per shoe, and also the U shaped hard plastic piece with cloth underneath that the tongue is sewn onto. For now, I have left two upper eyelets and the U shaped materials holding the flexible tongue. The sewn portion does not stretch, though it may have some flex. Why this shoe has no removable insole is hard to understand. The insole is glued in! As a heavy trainer, after modification it is 3 stars. Since there is no option to give 1.5 stars overall, I give it 1 star because the discomfort was so high on the pain scale. It looks like Adidas did not fix the eyelet problems on Prime X3. That really is disappointing.
