    Cheers for the heads-up!

    That is ridiculously cheap, just got 2 pairs of Adios 2 for 30quid a pair. If I hadn't bought so many pairs of runners recently I'd be buying a crazy amount.

    Free shipping until the 1st of December aswell, well worth a look for anyone on the lookout for a bargain.

    Never having had a pair of Adidas shoes, can anyone recommend a pair that would be similar to Brooks Green Silence/Saucony Kinvara ?

    A pair of Adipures accidentally found their way into my basket (I've no idea how that happened ;)) they wouldn't be a million miles away and worst case I've bought a pair of slippers for €28

    Some good deals. Cheers OP.

    Anyone any ideas of which Adidas would be similar to Asics DS trainer?

    Google suggests Adizero tempo although others suggest the Boston shoe.

    Thanks OP

    I went a bit mad there and spent €130. Free delivery is a nice touch.

    A pair of adipure trainers was my most eccentric purchas. €24 can't go wrong!:D

    Tempos are a bit stiff imo, probably the Boston or the Ace

    Did my marathon in DS trainers 17's, and they are nice and soft.

    I use Adizero Boston 2 (lovely orange ones) for day to day wear, and then are a good deal harder compound that the DS.

    I'm a big fan of the Adios 2.Very light and I've used them for up as far as half marathon distance with no bother.

    They're a steal for 30 euro, I couldn't find them for less than 60 or 70 when I was looking for a new pair of racing flats about a month ago.

    My experience is that they are narrower than say, Asics etc. I am open to correction. Will go for 11.5 instead of 11 myself but it's a personal thing maybe.

    Adidas tend to run a little smaller vs US brands.
    Adi's sz 10 = 44 2/3, whereas Brooks, Nike and Saucony = 45.
    They also tend run a little narrow, which is fine if you're a narrow fit.

    Glad to see that my link saved some of you a bit of money. I'm looking for a bit of advice myself now.

    I supinate slightly, so I need running shoes with a good flexible forefoot to allow my foot to roll in. I also need a slight heel lift with good cushioning. I currently wear Brooks Glycerin 9 which I like but I'm due for a change soon. The new Glycerins are around €130 which is a bit steep for me at the moment. Which of the adidas running shoes should be suitable? The Response seem to be the ones, but they seem a bit large and boxy (which I suppose goes with the territory).

    Any suggestions?

    picked up a couple of pairs of Gazelles myself and some bits for the OH. Thanks OP!

    Regarding your question I think you're thinking along the right line, but they aren't the prettiest when compared to the adipure and adizero stuff.

    It seems most of the shoes are gone, at least in the popular sizes. I had the Bostons in the basket yesterday but were gone by the time I got to the checkout.

    My items arrived today and I'm really delighted with them. Unfortunately a hoody I bought is too big but the beauty is I can send it back for free for a full refund! UPS are coming in the morning to collect it.

    That's strange, I had no problem with different billing address. What I found a bit weird was on the billing address it also gives IE as the country, which mine ain't. I can understand they only want Irish delivery addresses but credit card shouldn't matter. Anyway, it went through without a hitch. Delivery to the folks gaff. I'll have to go home and visit now! At least there'll be a lovely pair of Adios 2's waiting for me.

    Btw, you got ripped off. Mine only cost 54.95!

    Picked up a pair myself. Unusually for me it was based on no research. But at €52 it was hard to pass up. They've already left the building according to the mail I've just got, so I'll report back. In the meantime, anyone with any experience of these (sonic boost) I'd love to hear it.
