Customer Reviews adidas Running Energy Cloud V

I bought these and returned them. I did not like the look of them or how they fit. The arch support was way more than what I like in a running shoe.

This shoe is so comfortable to wear. It has a roomy tie box which I need because I work in a hospital environment and I am on my feet a lot. I would definitely buy this shoe again.

A good shoe for the price.

I definitely had to break these in, but I’ve ended up loving these shoes. I’m one that loves black/neutral shoes, and these are super cute!

Just a tad small. They loosen up so it’s fine.

I always order size 7.5. Whenever I read a review of a shoe running too large or small, I always order 7.5 and it always fits. So I guess I'm a true 7.5. I wish these were a tad more supportive because I overpronate, but they were affordable and cute. I'll mainly wear them for weight training.

I ordered these for my daughter. She liked the styling and wears these w/ orthotics. Overall nice shoe w/ some support not a lot of support.

I ordered the Gray/Ash green and it's a very pretty pale color. Unfortunately, I found the shoe to be very narrow at approximately the instep part, and couldn't see it adjusting over time. I was looking for a shoe that would be supportive and comfortable with my achilles tendonitis, and this was one of the shoes and styles recommended. This design and the foam footbed material would seem to cradle the heel and ankle well for that purpose. I will keep the Asics Gel-Contend pair that I ordered from Zappos for this purpose though, no width issues with those.

I normally wear a 7, but it was just a bit too long for running in. Reordered in a 6.5 - the length was just right for a running shoe, but this size was much narrower. Wanted to like these, but they just didn't work out. I've had other Adidas shoes, so was hoping I could just order online and be satisfied.

Loved it

I love the look of these shoes, they are exactly what I want - something I can wear with jeans and leggings, I did not get these for exercise. But when I put them on, I felt they were on the narrow side and almost took them right back off to return. I hung in there, though, wore them around the house and realized I didn’t even notice they were on. They are actually super comfy, but I did have to loosen the shoe strings quite a bit. I have since found that I can wear them all day, walk quite a bit and have no problems.

My shoe size is a 12 narrow. I ordered these shoes in a 12B since they don't come in a narrow width. The length is just fine, heels don't slip, soles have great cushioning, and there is ample wiggle room in the toe area. Also like the lightweight, airy feel of the shoes which would be great in dry weather. They are almost a fit except the instep part of the shoe is too narrow. I wouldn't expect that for a 'B' width. My feet ached quickly in these shoes. Will have to return them and try something else. Have to order my shoes online as stores don't carry my size. Zappos has the best selection and fantastic customer service!

All was good until the tongue wouldn’t stop rubbing my ankle once laced up and ready to go. Returning for that personal preference only.

These shoes are very versatile. I like that I can wear them with several type of outfits and activities. Only improvements include that I had to put my own soles in them for a little more support and longer laces.

Nice looking shoes but it would be nice if Adidas shoes come in wider widths.

Wide in toe box

Very comfortable shoes! I purchased them for my mom for mothers day and she loves them! She has wide feet and needs a good comfy show with support.

I want to cry sending these back. These were just the style I was looking for. They are very cute, light, and pretty comfortable. However, like some other reviewers mentioned, they were just too tight across the top of the foot. Even if I completely undid the shoe and loosened the laces all the way, it was still too tight because the sides have no give and where the laces start is stitched so tight. At first they felt OK, but I sat with them on for 30 minutes (I want to be REALLY sure before I decide to keep a shoe), and my feet started tingling. DANG! I wanted to keep this shoe!

Love these shoes! Great style and comfortable for walking around. For running it could have better support! Happy with my purchase.

Nice, lightweight shoe. I've historically worn Adidas Kanadias and loved them. I enjoy how these Clouds are lighter weight and still have the stripes on the side to provide stability and support, but they are less supportive than the Kanadias are. The toe material feels like jersey cotton, which is comfortable, but I haven't tested how wet my foot would get if it's raining or the ground is wet.

These shoes are adorable, and have the potential to be comfortable. The structure is great, the materials are soft without being too flimsy. The toe box is roomy and cozy. However, right were the laces start, the shoes are so very narrow that I could not wear them for more than a few minutes. I admittedly have wider feet, but do not usually require a wide shoe. I tried loosening the laces, and in a local store tried a half size larger, figuring I could just exchange, but no luck. I tried a similar style shoe in another brand and had the same problem, so I believe it is how this particular kind of shoe fits.

I really wanted to love these sneakers and give it 5 stars, but I can't. I do want to point of that my review is for those with wide(r) feet. If you have an average sized width, you'll be just fine purchasing these sneakers and quite possibly might love them! But I have both large (size 12 woman's) and wide feet and I found it hard to even get my foot into the shoe. Once in, the sides where the hard plastic stripes is has absolutely no give to it. The sides of my feet felt like they were in an over crowded prison with no chance of escaping lol!!! But on a positive note, the color is beautiful and exactly as pictured. They're definitely worth the money! If you have average size width size, these will be GREAT for you! If you have a wider width, I'd strongly suggest that you reconsider.

These shoes are comfortable except in a couple of ways. The shoe tongue is large and puffy, almost like a basketball shoe. The heels are high and i've started getting blisters on the back of heels because of how high the shoe comes up comparative to my sock. I didn't have this issue with my previous running shoes.

I am returning these. They are narrow and stiff. On the first day I wore them,the back lip of one of the sneakers got pushed in when I put them on. I can't straighten it anymore and i's really weird and uncomfortable now.

There is no way I could run in these. There is no cushion in the toes. I had wanted for HITT to wear indoors so I don't need to clean my running shoes. These will not work at all. They look nice though if you wouldn't use them for exercise
