Runner's World Shoe Lab Test Results


We Say: We've included this ultralight racing shoe in this category because it actually has a more complicated internal structure than your average racing flat. The midsole of the Light 6 features plastic coating along the inside of the sole that works with two plastic stability plates under the heel to control pronation. Adidas designed the upper on a narrower performance last for a faster, more snug fit and feel. We recommend the Light 6 for biomechanically efficient runners looking for a racing or fast training shoe.
