Good!

Is the Adidas Cloudfoam Pure 2.0 an excellent running shoe? Meh. At best, it's a comfortable budget trainer that's great for long walks, athleisure, and casual wear. If you're looking for the same affordable training flat which is more performance-oriented, you can consider the Adidas SL20.2.
