One of the good things about running is that you can do it almost anywhere. But city-dwellers looking to run daily may not have access to an outdoor trail, which limits their options to either running on the road or on a treadmill at home or in the gym. While treadmill offers a slightly padded surface that can help people run a few extra kilometres, city roads make it hard to increase mileage. A good pair of running shoes could make a lot of difference for this group to run longer on city roads.
Adidas’ Switch Fwd seems to have what it takes to make people hit the road more often and stay a bit longer. The German shoemaker’s new line of running shoes mends its EVA foam past with Boost’s design. The soft EVA foam with the harder TPU plate gives a comfortably cushioned midsole for running on city roads. And the heel support, inspired by the Boost’s energy return technology, offers the much-needed push forward. To make the new combination work well, Adidas has intricately designed void in the soles that act like springs to push the runner forward.
With these running shoes, Adidas has unlocked a new product line that caters to runners and athletes across levels. The shoes provides support to the runner’s feet and helps them find the right running posture. While the pair I received looked big and tall, they were quite light and easy to wear, walk and run around.
