adidas | Men’s Adistar BYD Running Shoes – Ftwr White

Advice for Road Runners: The adidas Men’s Adistar BYD Running Shoes offer propulsion and support for long-distance runs.

Underfoot Feel

The unique midsole in the adidas Adistar BYD Running Shoes should feel highly-cushioned, supportive, and propulsive. 

LIGHTSTRIKE PRO – adidas’ most resilient foam – makes up the main body of the midsole. This offers a soft and energetic feel. 

A slightly firmer, but cushioned material – named REPETITOR 2.0 – makes up the bottom of the midsole. This increases the inherent stability of the high-stacked midsole.

You should experience lots of propulsion as you transition through the gait cycle. This is down to the carbon-injected DISTANCEDRIVE plate. 

As the plate only runs around the perimeter of the cushioning, the midsole shouldn’t feel as stiff as a full-carbon-fibre plated midsole. It’s worth noting the DISTANCEDRIVE plate also increases the stability of the midsole. 

Upper Fit

The adidas Adistar BYD Running Shoes feature a premium monomesh upper. 

An internal fit system and supportive heel counter should deliver a secure and comfortable fit. 

Ideal Run Type

You’ll probably get the most benefit from the adidas Men’s Adistar BYD Running Shoes when you’re heading out for long steady runs. This is because the midsole should aid your running economy and offer extra help as you fatigue.

At the same time, the versatile nature of the cushioning means this model should work well for runs at a range of paces and distances.

Sizing Advice

Shoe size is a personal preference and everyone’s feet are different, but we want to ensure you avoid any pain or discomfort from bruised toenails, rubbing, blistering or pins and needles.

Your running shoes should have enough width to allow you to spread your toes and should have some space at the front (we recommend having a half to one thumb’s width of space from the end of your longest toe to the front of your running shoes).

This usually means that your running shoe will be at least a half size bigger than your regular shoe size though this can vary from brand to brand.
