Reviews of Adidas Neo Star 2008 Men's Running Shoes

Customer Ratings:

However, there's a very small design issue with the materials along the back heel of the shoe. When you wear them, they squeak. The noise source is from the exposed inner sole against the outside reinforced plastic heel material. Instead of returning them, I removed the inner sole and applied a very small amount of vaseline to sort of "grease" the plastic heal to eliminate the friction between the plastic heel and inner soul.

Voilà, it worked!!!!

This is the most responsive running shoe i've worn in years. Firm at ankles and great heal response. Not for low arches!

Best Deals on Adidas Neo Star 2008 Men's Running Shoes

I bought these shoes to work out in the gym. The pictures don't gives these shoes justice! I've gotten at least 10 random people asking me where I purchased them so they could too. Warning they run about 1/2 size smaller than other Adidas that I have purchased but did form up after a few workouts. So if you like a looser fit for casual then you will want to order a little larger than you normally would. During workouts and walking around these are very comfortable overall. Good support for my arches (I have flat feet and need arch support) I am satisfied with purchase so much that I'm looking to purchase another pair but in a different color. If I can find them.

Honest reviews on Adidas Neo Star 2008 Men's Running Shoes

I'll start this review by saying that I bought these shoes because I own an older pair of Adidas Bounce running shoes. I've owned that pair since 2008. I retired them from their gym shoes role about 2.5 years ago, but still wear them daily as sneakers. In other words, the old pair, with the help of some new insoles, have lasted over 5 years of regular wear and tear and haven't fallen apart. It's been very impressive.

Now on to the current shoes. First and foremost, I'm not planning to use these as running shoes. I do have a pair of running shoes and they have a lot more cushioning and arch support than this pair does. And unless you can't afford to spend the extra $30-$40 for a really good pair of running shoes, I wouldn't recommend these for running. The lack of support will probably do more harm than good. That said, this pair of shoes is great for cross training or use at the gym while lifting, using the elliptical machines, or using the bikes. They're very durable and comfortable. And like I said earlier, when you're ready to retire these shoes from training use, they can be used as daily use sneakers for quite a while longer. Even though I wouldn't recommend them for running, I still give these shoes 4 stars simply because they're constructed really well, and if used for the proper functions, they can be a great pair of shoes that will exceed your expectations as far as comfort and durability are concerned.

I have this same exact shoe in white that I bought years back (4+) and I have never had a better shoe for running. I am a big guy, 245+ and the treadmill can be a fat guys worst enemy but not with this shoe! I recommend for heavier guys that are super active.
