The Adidas Evo SL is a speed training shoe designed to offer a fast and cushioned ride. Priced at $150, it offers a fun ride at a much lower price point than other shoes with race foam in the midsole (like the $200 Superblast 2 and $190 Hoka Mach X2). The main compromise for the price here is that the ride isn't as stable and upper isn't as comfortable as more expensive marathon training shoes. It encourages a speedy midfoot and forefoot strike, and it doesn't feel as natural at relaxed paces. If you're looking for fun at an approachable price, this is a great choice. If you'd like more stability and comfort, consider the Hoka Mach X2 or Asics Novablast 5.
