Good!

“CS” stands for Cushioned Support, and true to its name this is a shoe that offers a lot of protection underfoot and a huge amount of stability. It’s massive in look, sturdy, and stands the test of time, but once on the road, it feels lighter than it is. Definitely a great contender for those who need guidance for their feet on daily runs, and it’s even partially made from ocean plastic and recycled materials.

Though it might be a bit too firm for very long runs, those who tested it said the shoe is perfect for cruising on daily miles, at a slow pace.

A tester said he “was actually surprised with how breathable” the toe box was. That cannot be said for the rest of the shoe, as there are more overlays that limit ventilation. 

As for the tongue, it’s “incredibly plush and soft” but also “absolutely huge” and “a little bit overbuilt.”

Given the wide platform, runners with normal to wider feet found the shoe to be ideal.

An expert shared that in this department the Adistar CS felt “extremely comfortable” and he “felt very connected to this shoe.”

Firm and protective, yet not exciting

The midsole received mixed reviews, as on the one hand it “is not what you’d call a lively shoe“ and is “incredibly firm.” 

On the other hand, it provides “a nice level of impact protection” and a “very smooth experience.”

The shoe provides several methods that stabilize the foot, such as a support frame, a slightly high arch, a wide platform, and a firm foam.

A tester underlined that with this level of support, “there is no other direction but forward to go.”

Heavy, but doesn’t slow you down

There’s no doubt that at 11.3oz (320g) this is a heavy running shoe (the average is around 9.8oz or 280g). Yet, only one tester listed it as a real con. The others thought it was acceptable. As they superstar out:

  • “runs lighter than its actual weight” 
  • “feels relatively light on foot” 
  • “heavier but by no means noticeable.”

adidas gazelle azul marino is incredibly durable

No doubt among testers about this shoe’s ability to last. A runner said durability is “extremely high.” 

“It’s built like an absolute tank,” and “you’ll get a lot of life out of this outsole” are the comments shared by another expert.
