Adidas CodeChaos - Thoughts?

[caloge]

It will get very dirty. No doubt. Even in dry weather. Get a dark colour.

[jerrytexastech]

I have played in varying conditions in mine. They are easy to clean up.

[cwilk]

Same here - thanks. Only I couldn't go with the Code Chaos as I can't get over the looks. I went with the Forge Fiber BOA's for a whopping $106 shipped. My son has them and really likes them. I went with the black because his are black and seem to hold up well against dirt.

Awesome!

Definitely the most traction that I have seen out of a spikeless shoe, but I still slip a little bit in them. They're extremely comfortable, and I really wanted to be able to wear spikeless shoes, but I just cannot get over the slight loss of traction.

Ordered a pair from direct from Adidas.

 

Is Adidas like Nike, in that you can wear these and still return as long as it is within the return period?

[Stumpnav]

How does the width run, specifically the toe box area?

[trentyoung33]

I would say they are pretty standard for Adidas shoes. The toe box is not super wide, but it definitely isn't a tight toe box.

Great feedback! Mine should arrive today, looking forward to hitting a few balls in my garage and seeing how stable they feel.

[nickpiro]

Update: They have arrived!

I have to say, I am wildly impressed from all aspects. Unbelievably comfortable, holy cow. The boost sole and cushioning is stellar, feels like your favorite pair of sneakers. I got the chance to hit some balls in the garage and they felt super stable traction wise, didn’t feel any slippage. I love the BOA system not being on the top of the tongue, yet to the side. It gives you a great visual as you look down and it’s not in the way. The BOA system is awesome and your feet feel locked in place and provide that structure you simply can’t get with laces.

Fit and sizing wise, they ran true to size for me. I’m an 11.5 in Nike, dress shoes, etc, ordered an 11.5 in these and was a great fit.

The only thing I’m kind of not looking forward to is keeping them clean, my guess is they’ll get pretty dirty, but then again what all white shoe doesn’t? To be expected I guess.

 

Thank you again everyone for the input! And huge shoutout for the promo code too, killer deal.

 

Here’s some pics -

These look like some Predator Football Boots I have. Fantastic.

[nickpiro]

Totally! Love the little bit higher boot too around the ankle.

[omoub001]

If you don't mind, what are your height and weight stats? I'm 6'1 about 290 so I use the spikes because I really leverage the ground during my swing. I would hate to buy a pair of the primeblue's and then have a slipfest.

[gioria126]

 

I have exactly the same pair. It's easy to clean. I simply use the brush and water to wipe it, just like I did for all other leather shoes. They're still very white and clean. The only portion that gets dirty is the BOOST sole, which everyone knows it's impossible to stay clean...

[nickpiro]

Thank you so much for these pics! Great to see what they'll look like after some rounds on them, you are totally right - They seem simple enough to keep clean! Which is awesome news.

[scottvw13]

Played my first round in my Primeblues. Here are my thoughts.

Played today on Long Island. Conditions were a bit cold (50 degrees) with on and off light rain. Course was a bit muddy.

 

Sizing

I tend to have a wide toe box. To the point that I generally have to go up a size for Nike (My usual go to). Did not have to do that here, maybe because the Flyknit had a little give for my width. I am 9 in these. 9.5 for Nike.

Comfort (9/10)

Right out of the box these were amazing! Boost is great. I could walk every round in these and be so happy. By comparison, the low synthetic codechaos felt stiff and uncomfortable to me. These were heaven!

Stability (7/10)

I was concerned that the would not provide enough lateral stability, but that was never an issue. Are these as stable as a non-flyknit shoe? No quite. But definitely adequate. The sole is amazing. These were as good as my Lunar Control 2 soles, which is saying a lot. Plus can wear away from the course with no issues. Very impressed.

Waterproof (2/10)

Yup. just a 2. This is because my feet were quite damp, despite being "waterproof". Now, I never stepped in any standing water, just the moisture that has accumulated on top of the grass. I would say similar to an early dew sweeper type of round. This is the only flaw I can see here. While I didn't expect it to be completely lock down waterproof, I had hoped for a little better.

Great review - Thanks for the feedback!

[Runt1122]

Ordered a pair yesterday. Full length bounce performance, comfortable by all accounts, 2 year waterproof warranty, spikeless, sporty looking...hopefully they live up to all hype and my anticipation!

[trentyoung33]

No problem at all. I am 5'10" around 200. Two years out of Division 1 football so I have a pretty strong lower body and try to leverage my lower body for a majority of my power. With that, I tend to slip more than the general person likely would.

[UnderPar18]

I purchased a pair of white when I saw a website accept an additional 20% off (this has since been fixed). I got my pair for $75. Upon receiving the CodeChaos I was delighted with how good the white looks. The red is more of a neon color and kind of looks pink which I didn't care for, but it's a very small portion of the shoe. The Code Chaos is probably the most comfortable shoe I have tried on. I typically play 360's and the Code Chaos felt better. For $75 I have no complaints.

[Wdwfreak]

In case anyone was wondering, courses are closed here but my yard is slightly dirty and muddy and these hold up to backyard chipping REALLY well.

Hopefully we're all back on courses soon, cheers!

[nickpiro]

That is great news to know! Love it, I was doing the same earlier today myself. I am going crazy over here in the Pacific Northwest, everything is shut down. Hope everyone is staying healthy and safe, can't wait to actually game these and just get out there in general.

[gioria126]

So I grabbed a low BOA version of Code Chaos today. Still very comfortable and lots of gripping. But to be frank the high BOA version feels stabler as the upper part of the shoes “locks down” better, while the low version tends to be looser. But anyway the low version is still good.

[Minarets]

Didn't even know they offered a low BOA

[gioria126]

We have 4 colors of low BOA here in Asia.

Anyone play in wet winter conditions? 

[Squanchy69]

The outer layer is kinda hard material and while walking where the left shoe creases it dug into my pinky toe and hurt after 9 holes. I liked them before noticing that and they worked well when I played in a soaking wet corse with snow around still. 

 

Luckily DSG took them back and I’m getting some goretex trail runners now for cheaper and way more comfort

Played in damped conditions, and my feet stayed dried.  The shoes are suppose to be waterproof.

That’s awesome they took it back and let you get something else.

Played the last 2 Saturdays here in northern NJ, ground was pretty soggy both rounds and my feet were bone dry.
