Who should NOT buy the shoe
If you are here to find a reliable, sturdy, high-performance running shoe from Adidas, try going for the Supernova 2 or the Solarglide 5.
A versatile road running shoe
The Alphatorsion delivers a good blend of comfort, support, and springiness. Because of the Bounce cushioning, the shoe is comfortable enough to be worn all day at work or during long walks.

Based on some comments, the Torsion System gives enough support that makes the run less tiring to the feet and legs. The Torsion System delivers multi-directional support for lateral moves and quick cuts, making the shoe a good pair for moderate cross-training workouts.
In addition, the broad base of the shoe contributes to the feeling of stability underfoot.
A fashion-forward design of the Alphatorsion
Most user reviews mention that the shoe has a very stylish, eye-catching design that makes you stand out from the crowd. Some of them added that the shoe looks even better in person and that the color options are fabulous.
Mesh is not so durable
More than a few reviewers have complained that the thin mesh upper is very prone to ripping and tearing. The most vulnerable part of the upper is in the forefoot where the foot bends.

People with wider-than-average feet do not recommend this Adidas shoe as it fits rather tight and is also difficult to put on because of that. What's more, the shoe is not available in Wide.
Blister warning
You may need to wear taller socks with this Adidas shoe because of the raised heel collar which is also rather stiff. Someone who only walked a couple of miles in the shoe got blisters and blood stains on the heel. For most people, holes developed within weeks of light and moderate wear. Because of this issue, the shoe "felt like a dollar store shoe" for some.
Good to know
- Reflective - The Adidas Alphatorsion has some reflective materials on its upper, giving additional visibility in low-light conditions.
- Boost variation - The shoe is also available in the Alphatorsion Boost model. This variation is equipped with the responsive adidas trx mcvicar shoes black sneakers instead of Bounce cushioning.
