I didn’t intend to do this with the PYL but it started coming down hard at the end of a day in Japan. I’ve used these with a Nitro Fury, Jones Aviator and Yes PYL. I’ve been pleasantly surprised by how well they turn a board. The shock absorption improved too but the boots still have that low profile feel like a skate shoe. I nearly returned the boots because of this but I inserted and moulded some Gamechanger Lite insoles and afterward my foot wasn’t swimming around as much and everything was sweet. I did spend about 10 minutes working the tongue of the Superstars to soften them up and it seemed to help. For me the pressure from the Superstars was less than the Samba but more than the Tacticals. I’ve had this same pressure with a pair of Sambas and Tacticals. Like others, I feel light pressure on the instep of the foot but it is not painful and doesn’t interfere with my riding. I agree with all the comments in the review. I’ve got the 17/18 version and am pretty damn happy. On & Off Ease: Not the easiest on and off and that’s mainly because of the power strap across the top.Īll in all this is a great mellow response boot that can get a touch more if you need it. Seems to be about the same for 2018-2019 models as well. We have noticed that there isn’t as much of a difference in larger sizes as you go up from size 9 but Adidas is still a little smaller. These are 2 sizes of size 9 boots that fit me almost exactly the same. It’s not as good as their energy boost tech but it’s better than most boots out there these days and it’s a massive improvement from the Samba.įootprint: Super reduced! From what I’ve seen it’s the best in the industry. Shock Absorption : Really good shock absorption. It’s got rubber in almost every place you really need traction and it gives you more than boots like the Burton AMB or 2019 Swath or any boot from them with the mostly EVA sole that has rubber in the heel and toe. Traction : So I love the EVA/Rubber Combo at the bottom and Adidas did this right with the Superstar. It’s got that medium bordering on med/slow response that is great to pair up with easier turning boards. Response : Nothing great here but that’s what they are going for. Wish there was a little more but it’s got enough to keep the flex similar to how you got it out of the box for a while. It takes a little more work to tie knots and dial the strap out but you can do almost anything once you get into the upper zone and you canįlex Retention : Like the articulation in the ankle. I like the easy in but would love to see the same material from the ZX-500 inside that keeps your foot in the right place better than this liner.Īdjustability : There are lots of options to dial out your boots with traditional lace and a strap up top. Heel Hold : The softer fuzzy material in the liner made my socks slide pretty easy inside. That’s what happened when I sized down from the 2018-2019 Adidas Tactical ADV in size 9 to 8.5 so it should be very similar to the Adidas Superstar. The 2018 Adidas Superstar didn’t have the same pressure points and if the fit was correct it would have fit really well with almost no pressure points. It doesn’t have that instant comfort that some boots do but it does seem like it can become pretty comfortable. Not sure yet if that will be an issue or if it will go away as they break in.
You also need to size down 1/2 size from whatever your size is on the scale in the US but in the UK it seems to fit true.įlex : The flex can be a little more supportive and stiff up top but at the bottom, there is a good break in the ankle that gives it a mellow flex on the softer side of med/soft.Ĭomfort : Pretty comfortable for how small the liner is and I only noticed a little pressure on the roof of my foot on the forward flex. The rubber is thinner so it gives you a little more room inside. Insoles: Footprint Insole Technology Gamechangers, Footprint Insole Technology Gamechangers Lite, Footprint Insole Technology Gameghangers Low Profile, Sandsole Custom Insolesīindings: Bindings: Union Strata, Union Superpro, Burton Genesis, Union Contact Pro,īoards: OZ Custom Woody, Yes Basic, Yes Typo, Salomon Assasin, Yes Jackpot, Never Summer Funslingerįoot Width : Right and Left between a D/Eįit: Adidas run on the wider side but the Adidas Superstar seems to be the widest of all the Adidas boots.
