Product Description
The next big thing in running shoes, are these a3 Gigaride Cushion Running Shoes from adidas. Boasting an outsole that maintains the same integrity no matter how hot--or cold--it gets, the shoes feature ultra-comfortable seam-free fit technology and a molded EVA sockliner. The forefoot is structured with a3 so it's built for long-lasting luxury and functionality. A serious yet lightweight running shoe. About EVA
EVA is a copolymer or cross-linked foam made of ethylene and vinyl acetate. It is made up of hundreds of thousands of foam cells that contain air or gas. When you land on EVA foam it is compressed, replenishing with air when the weight is off that foot. By compressing EVA in a pressurized mold the midsole forms a thick skin which helps the EVA last longer. It also provides more structural integrity to the midsole. About adidas
The vision of company founder Adolf Dassler has long become reality, and his corporate philosophy the guiding principle for successor generations. The idea was as simple as it was brilliant. Adi Dassler's aim was to provide every athlete with the best possible equipment. It all began in 1920, when Adi Dassler made his first shoes using the few materials available after the First World War. The adidas name dates back to 1948, deriving from the first two syllables of Adi Dassler's first and last name. One year later, Adi Dassler registered the Three Stripes as a trademark. After a period spanning almost 70 years, the Dassler Family withdrew from the company in 1989, and the enterprise was transformed into a corporation ("Aktiengesellschaft"). French-born Robert Louis-Dreyfus was Chairman of the Executive Board from April 1993 to March 2001. It was he who initiated adidas' flotation on the stock market in November 1995. adidas--a name that stands for competence in all sectors of sport around the globe. Today, the adidas product range extends from shoes, apparel and accessories for basketball, soccer, fitness and training to adventure, trail and golf.

Best running shoe ever! May 7, 2010
Kristine N. Matthews (Fairfield, Tx)
I absolutely love this shoe! They are soo comfortable and look great on. I have flat feet so I have a hard time finding running shoes that fit me, infact I havent bought a pair of running shoes in almost 3 years because I havent found any that fit right. I tried this brand on at a department store and loved them, but not the price. So when I found these on amazon I had to have them and am sooo glad that I did!!! Recommend them to anyone and everyone!!!
Treadmill friendly February 9, 2010
Alqua D. Light (Deployed)
I love these shoes. I was always an avid outdoor runner however due to my current location (deployed overseas) I'm unable to run outside. I have tried mutliple times with various shoes to run on a treadmill but always found the constant pounding to become to much for my knees. These shoes are perfect! I gave them a test run on the treadmill this morning and was pleasantly suprised by the support and additional "bounce" they offer. I just got them yesterday and am already shopping for another pair!
 overall very good April 24, 2009

Size seems a little small compared to previous generation adidas running shoes I've own. Excellent flexibility and road feel - very responsive and cushioned. If you prefer a firmer feel (e.g. like Asics cushioned shoes), this will feel too squishy. Very attractive design. Laces are strangely short, but adequate (typically my laces are much too long). Nice improvement over previous generations of the air cushioning Adidas - design of the sole no longer allows rocks to get stuck in bottom of shoe.
Overall very good. Price/value and smaller sizing were criteria that led to lack of an "excellent" rating.
Awesome Running Shoe! September 30, 2008

This shoe has been great so far! It's good for running, taking classes at the gym. It's a great all-around shoe. Really comfortable and a very cool look to the shoe. Very happy with my purchase!!
Great running shoe but why is price way up? September 1, 2008

The double-edged sword of rating a product highly: you help out fellow shoppers but then the vendor raises the price. I bought this exact shoe 1-1/2 yrs ago for $45 w/free Super-Saver shipping. Now the shoe costs $73 + shipping? Maybe we should all keep our mouths shut. And what's w/the different pricing for different sizing? Sounds like discrimination to me. Could be a federal offense.
I've given it 5 stars to see how much higher the price rises.
