Adidas Response Trail 18 – RW Best Update
The adidas Response Trail 18 gets the Runner’s World Best Update for a Trail Running shoe in the October 2011 issue.
The adidas Response Trail uses a modified but responsive Formotion design, impact-absorbent adiPRENE cushioning and the Torsion midfoot support. Plus, the Response Trail 18 utilizes adiPrene for superior cushioning at impact and adiWear outsole for the ultimate in high-wear durability. These trail running shoes are also miCoach compatible.
adidas Response Trail review from Runner’s World says, “This classic shoe offers impressive sidewall, toebox, and underfoot protection.”
It is noted for its new Formotion design that aids in the smooth transistion from landing to toe off.
The soles are a bit stiff and rigid. This makes a road run uncomfortable but provides great support and traction on the trail. The lugs are designed more aggressively to provide better footing on loose terrain and mud.
adidas Response Trail 18 weighs about 12.5 oz (Men’s) and sells for US$95.
