Customer Reviews adidas Running Alphabounce EM

I guess I'm one of the few to not like this shoe. No one has mentioned heel lift? Once I got the right size for my foot (order down, and yes, lots of room in toe box) I tried to tie them in a way that would prevent my heel from slipping/lifting up on every step, but couldn't. Plus, the laces and eyes are both "rough," so the laces don't slide through very easily, which would make cinching them down every day pretty difficult and unpleasant (compared to my current shoes, at least). The shoes also felt as though they encouraged my (neutral) foot to pronate, and I'm not interested in experimenting with that. It's a beautiful shoe and well-made, and easy to get on if you use the finger loops at both heel and tongue....but I just couldn't get them to work for me. Rats.

These are really great except they definitely run over a size too big. I normally wear an 8 so I ordered a pair in 7.5 and they had a little too much room, I should have gotten a 7. It’s essentially a neoprene sock attached to a rubber sole. I would only wear them in the gym but they would definitely not provide any protection if you drop a weight on your foot. I am sending them Back and going with a different adidas shoe.

Many other reviewers stated to order a half to a size smaller, but wished I'd ordered my usual size 10. The toe box was narrower than what i prefer. These will go back and will keep looking!

Good but they are a bit big even though I ordered my regular size. Strangely I saw the men's version in a store and tried them and it seems the men's runs a bit small, at least for me. I will have to try ordering a different size.

These were my first adidas and i'd recommend going a full size down. Though quite comfortable, the color didn't do it for my and these are way too wide for my very narrow. Had to return them :(

Very cool shoes but they ran a full size large!!!

Based on other reviews I ordered half size down. I'm thinking I could have ordered a full size smaller-laces need to be cranked up to avoid heel slip. The white part around the heel was also bigger than expected but I will be keeping them. The shoelaces have small reflective details that are appreciated.

I really like these shoes. I didn't buy them to exercise in but to wear around town. They are super comfy and I love the look. I got them in the grey and black and they go with everything.

The shoe runs too large than expected, make sure to order at least half size down.

I ordered a half size down then what I usually wear because of reading reviews and now am having a bigger size shipped out because these did not run big for me

Firstly I normally get a 7.5 or 8 in running shoes and ended up returning these for a 7. I bought these for running, but they feel very heavy and stiff for running shoes. Felt like I was running with cinder blocks on my feet. Kept them as trainers or work shoes since I love the color and they’re comfortable in general.

Nice shoe but interesting sewed in tongue makes shoe difficult to put on. I found the heel height too tall around the ankle.

I normally ran a size 8 in Nikes, for Adidas I had ordered a 7.5 like the reviews suggested but had to send back because they were too big. A 7 would work well I feel

These were comfortable but I'm not a,fan of the pebto pink in real life

This shoe runs very large, I ordered half a size smaller based on reviews and even that was too large. I also looks bulky and feels stiff.

These run big. The worst part was the plastic piece on the outer upper part of these that rubbed against my ankle all day while I wore them at work to break them in. I couldn't stand the discomfort and returned them.

Shoe runs large, my heel slips out

Geez these run BIG! I went a half size down based on reviews but even then they were huge. Because they’re bulky shoes, they look enormous. I’m returning them and ordering other shoes rather than just exchanging for size.

I love Adidas but they seem to be less quality these days. I've worn these for about a week and the sole at the toe is already starting to peel away from the fabric part. Comfy but not much arch support.

This looked like it would be a great shoe.. but it is like a sweat sock with a rubber sole, no support anywhere and seems very very cheaply made. I've had adidas before so I thought this would be a safe bet. For 109 dollars I expected better than this. Quality going down or what?????????????

We are returning this shoe. It looks like plastic and is uncomfortable. Not what we expected.
