Women's running shoes adidas

Runfalcon, Galaxy, Duramo: the models to get back into it

For a comeback or a fitness programme, the Runfalcon, Galaxy, and Duramo are the entry-level models in the range. Their Cloudfoam or Lightmotion foam sole, depending on the model, is simple and cushioned, and their breathable mesh upper suits runs of thirty to forty-five minutes, initial interval sessions, and brisk walking. The heel is built on a narrower female shape that holds the foot without pinching the front. These shoes easily transition from sidewalks to the stabilized pathways of a park. When practice exceeds two or three outings a week, a more cushioned shoe takes over to protect the joints.

Supernova Rise and Supernova Solution: running several times a week

For regular training, the Supernova Rise is the volume shoe in the range. Its Dreamstrike+ foam, denser and softer than the previous foams in the series, absorbs the miles without collapsing, and supportive EVA rods, placed under the foam, assist the transition from heel to forefoot. The Supernova Solution enhances this support for runners whose foot rolls inward with each step. These two models are suitable for long Sunday runs, preparation for a first half-marathon, and recovery runs the day after a session.

Adizero Evo SL and Adios Pro: aiming for a fast time

For running fast, the Adizero Evo SL features a Lightstrike Pro foam throughout, without a plate: the rebound is sharp but the shoe remains flexible, useful for threshold workouts and ten-kilometre races. The Adizero Adios Pro takes it to the next level with its EnergyRods, carbon-infused rods that follow the bones of the foot, and a reinforced heel. It is reserved for competitions, from half-marathons to marathons, after a few adaptation sessions, as it puts more strain on the calves and the Achilles tendon. The running shoe size should be the same as that of training shoes to maintain the same feel on race day.

Frequently asked questions

Women's or unisex model when you have wide feet?

The women's shape, narrower at the heel, suits most female runners. If the front of the foot feels cramped, a mixed version or an equivalent men's size offers more volume without changing the length.

How to choose your running size in adidas?

Start with your usual size and try on the shoe at the end of the day, with your running socks. Between two sizes, take the larger one: your big toe should never touch the front when going downhill.

What shoe for running on a treadmill?

A lightweight, well-cushioned road shoe is sufficient, as the treadmill is softer than asphalt. No need to look for a heavily treaded sole; prioritise a breathable upper, as you'll sweat a lot indoors.

Can you walk in running shoes?

Yes, their cushioning and lightness make them great shoes for brisk walking or long days on your feet. Entry-level models, with a flatter sole, are often more stable for walking than competition models.

How to wash running shoes without damaging them?

Remove mud with a brush, clean the upper with lukewarm soapy water, and let them air dry, with the insole removed and newspaper inside. The washing machine and radiator weaken the glues and foam.
