The Gazelles are insanely
comfortable. The footbed is
glued down (but removable with some effort) and lightly cushioned, and feels
great under a bare foot. But, where this shoe really shines is the upper. It’s
made of the same stretchy, spandexy (is that a word?) material that composes
the entire upper of the Adapt, and is extremely comfortable against the foot .
Sole dimensions
listed are 17mm heel, 11mm forefoot, and
overall shoe weight for my size 10 is about 6oz.
The sole feels incredibly
good on the run – perfect softness for the taste, and it feels much less than
6mm drop.
The other good thing is
that like about the Gazelle sole is that it’s flexible longitudinally, from
side to side, and torsionally – it moves really well with the foot and provides
a really smooth transition from lateral to medial in a midfoot-forefoot
landing. the lateral forefoot is well protected, as is the heel (that white
patch on the heel is actually rubber) which should help light heel strikers and
those who plan to walk around in the shoes (you be hard pressed not to wear them
all day – they are that ridiculously comfortable).
one complaint about the
shoe, it’s that It feels the stitching
that attaches the stripes to the upper under my arch on one side.
