adidas ADICROSS Street Shoe Review

[BENNYSUPREME]

Introduction: ADIDAS ADICROSS

 

 

Shoe Description

 

(A old school look with full grain leather. Both light weight and comfortable at the same time. A spike less shoe that provides traction and versatility off the course for the everyday person. What we have here is Adidas keeping up with what is trending today.)

 

 

· Pros (A shoe that goes nice with everything. They come with two different color laces. As with most golf shoes these also come with a two year quality warranty. These shoes are comfortable and stylish while still being somewhat water proof and breathable. Classic merged with new school! The wife likes them, and with a $90 price tag it would be easier to get away with if you buy more than one pair since most high end shoes go for 120 to 180 bucks.)

· Cons (At this time they only come in 5 colors, green, blue, black, white, and brown. They make your feet look super long and skinny. They didn't feel very stable at first; to me that is. As normal, Adidas shoe run on the narrow side. Shoes are mainly white unless you go all black or brown. )

· Bottom Line (If you are looking for a golf shoe that looks like a street shoe, these are for you. Did you forget your slippers or regular shoes at home, that is ok because these will do just fine out and about. They are bringing back the retro/old school look but adding a new twist into the mix with the 120 or so plugs on the bottom. Now if we can just get RUN DMC out on the course these would sale like hot cake to the youth to middle age golfers IMHO. (Marketing idea for Adidas only.))

• Look (When I first took these out of the box and looked at them I really liked them. They are just like my Adidas shell toes minus the pattern on the toe. Some would say they are just plain shoes. They have a narrow look to them. The Color shoe laces really stand out on the white leather. They are stylish, clean looking and no way over the top compared to some brands out there. If you are able to keep them clean you could wear them out and about and no one would know they were golf shoes. Note, it will be hard to keep these shoes looking new, being that they are mainly white. You will need to maintain them on a wear to wear basis unless you play in dry conditions every day. )

• Performance/playability (I have used these shoes in dry weather, rain, sand, and even in mud. For me the performance was iffy at best. The first couple of rounds that I wore them I did not feel very stable at all. I felt as if I was going to fall over when I swung the club. I don't know if that is due to the width of them or not. It's almost like I can't pivot as easy in these. The traction on wet turf was great. I didn't slip and slide at all in the rain. Once I got them broken in I started to feel a little more stable in them. I think they will be a great pair of shoes for any weather condition or any patch of earth you may cross. Note: The only reason I would say these are golf shoes is because of the plugs on the bottom that give you traction, nothing else.)

• Feel (If you get the right size these are great shoes. The only problem I could see someone having is if they have a really wide foot. Since I walk when I play I need a very comfortable shoe, these fit the bill. They are light, comfy and fit snug. They don't slide or rub on my hells, ankles or on my little toes like some shoes have had in the past. The first time I wore them I had no issues, besides while swinging, matter a fact as soon as I got home from my first round with them I went and ran a couple miles. My feet and legs didn't feel sore. My knees did not hurt which is a big plus. Basically the easiest way to put it is that I was wearing my normal every day tennis shoes. They were like walking on cotton, even after 5 or 6 rounds, they are still as soft as the first day I wore them. )

• Overall bottom line (These are a great all around shoe. If you want just one pair of shoes, these may be the ones for you. If you don't mind the colors selection and narrow fit, these might be for you. Once they are broke in, they are great. They are stylish enough to be worn with jeans but not so over the top that you can't wear them with a pair of kakis on the course. They have great traction without the spikes on the bottom. Over all for me, I really like these shoes even after only wearing them for a couple rounds, 7 to 8. They are comfortable, snuggle fitting and breathable. For me that means less pain in the legs and feet, I don't get blisters, and my feet don't sweat. Walking the course with these shoes on your feet will be no issue at all. They have been an attention getter; I have had at least one person ask me about them every round that I have worn them.

They are my most versatile golf shoe but not my Favorite at this time. I can actually see myself wearing these down the road every day. I just would like to have a bigger selection of colors. They don't even have RED at this time. What is up with that?

Will try to post view from top and other side. Also I will try to take some of them now that the have been worn so you can see how dirty they get even after you clean them.

It's a little hard to write a review on clothes then it is a golf club.

First, I hate you for living in Hawaii where it's NOT 36 degrees. Two, nice shoes!

I am an adidas fan but you're going to have trouble convincing me that these shoes have good traction, especially in the wet!

Thanks for the review BTW

I played in the rain/mist and didn't slip once. I have been noticing that while stand on the greens I leave a full shoe print every time, it does go a way after a minute or so. The print has well definded plug indentions. This is just my experience.

@ [url="http://www.golfwrx.com/forums/user/5624-tbowles411/"][color="#353535"]tbowles411[/color][/url] Well someone has to live and work here why not me. Yes you can golf everyday or sit on the beach everyday but thats about it. You can't really travel unless you fly. It can go both ways. I would like to be back in Colorado Springs myself.

Thanks for the review, I got the brown pair for Christmas and can't wait to try them out. I am playing 1-2 days a week, but it's so dang muddy here I don't want to risk it.

I have the brown ones and love them, Played my first round in them and had no traction, stability or fit problems. Very comfortable, stylish and I felt provided me with a very stable low profile base.

No place on Earth like Hawai'i. I can't waot to go back and never leave. Oh and the golf is pretty awesome too!

I have had a black pair of these now for several weeks and even in the "changeable" weather here in the UK at the moment i have found them to be spot on. I would probably draw the line at very muddy, not just because of the lack of spikes but also because they are very low so the mud and water will find its way over the top.

They bed in very quickly and are very comfortable, the white laces that came fitted have become very dirty but as stated in the report you get a 2nd pair, in this case they are black. They look good worn with jeans when out and about and also with shorts or normal trousers on the course... I have had one rather sniffy old golfer ask me if they are golf shoes but other than that i have been asked where to get some mostly...

Good value and perform very well.

I just picked up a pair and I have had one range session so fair and I love them. To me they feel more comfortable than my adidas tour 360s. I'm a huge fan so far.

[vietnameeh]

I have a pair... they are comfortable... they aren't "cushy" they are definitely street shoes comfy. The only grip i have about them is that they aren't "breathable".. on a hot day its steamy and ... i feel like im swimming in my shoes
