Customer Reviews adidas Running Megabounce+ 2008 W

Support and comfort in one package! I've tried all sorts of running shoes (Nike Shox, New Balance, Saucony) and finally came across this shoe. It is comfortable, stable, and supportive. I'm a nurse so I'm always on my feet, and finding a shoe that doesn't leave my heels or back hurting is difficult. Finally a solution! Beware that it definitely runs at least a half size larger than marked.

Great shoe!! I bought a pair of these in September of '08 and im still wearing them months later!! These are the only shoes I have ever kept for that long! The balls of my feet tilt to the outside and were always causing me wear down the inside and also the outside of my shoes. The fact that they "bounce" help absorb the blows of walking on carpeted concrete. I wear these shoes with walk fit arch support inserts and they help a lot too!! I will definitely buy more!

Pretty - These shoes do run a half size larger than marked, and I did not find them satisfactory in the stability department. I supinate (under-pronate) and I fell twice in these shoes because my ankle rolled. They are gorgeous and I will save them for brief walks but they are not good for longer runs/walks where I count on the stability.

Awesome Comfort - I love this shoe. It is so comfortable, and I've had running shoes for 30 years. Sole is really comfy and cushy. Runs about a 1/2 size long, so I have to send back for smaller size. Also runs a tad bit narrow. This can pass for a casual "hip" shoe because it's so unique. I wouldn't use this as a running shoe because it's pricey; I'll wear it more as a casual shoe. It's an A++ for comfort and looks better than most sports shoes.

Adidas Megabounce - Black & Aqua - Wanted to love it but didn't. The stripes were shiny plastic and very brightly colored. Removable insole a definite plus - plenty of room for orthodics. Normally I wear 8 1/2 but the 8 was more than big enough and they are wide. Excellent arch support and very light weight. However, my cheaper Nike walking shoes felt more comfortable - maybe they just have more cushion material around the foot. These might be great for hard surface running. I use the treadmill for jogging so I may not be a fair judge but they didn't deliver the spring and comfort to justify the price. I'm not a fan of white shoes and/or white soles but these were a little too flashy.

Runs large - Shoe is at least 1/2 size larger than marked. I also bought another pair of Adidas that cost less, same style, same size... they fit perfectly. Also, I can't tell any difference between the 2 pairs of insoles that come with this shoe. I've reordered 1/2 size smaller to see if that is better.
