We Say: Our wear-testers appreciated the improved fit of the Control, which, like the new AdiFusion, is built on a wider last that accommodates more foot types. The upper overlays are now welded, not stitched, reducing irritation and blister risk. The shoe also features a thicker sockliner that provides a more customized feel and a softer heel, according to lab tests. Adidas lengthened the stability device along the inner edge of the midsole to improve support. Recommended for runners with low arches who need a durable, everyday trainer.

Wear-testers Say: "Comfortable, good arch support, but a bit heavy."--Sarah Afgar, 21, San Diego

"A thicker tongue would help me not feel the laces."--Tammy Royston, 43, East Lansing

Just purchased these after running in Brooks Beast for last few months. They have great cushioning and provide lots of stability. They feel light, even with orthotics. Great shoes..

I purchased this pair of shoes based on the suggestion of the shoe sales representative; however after running in this shoe I found that my left foot is slightly wider than my right. I have never had this problem with a pair of Adidas shoes however this pair just did not work for me. The right shoe felt very comfortable, so I will give this shoe four stars. .

I loved my Supernova Trails so much I decided to try these out. The feel of the shoe is excellent and provides an exceptional amount of stability. However, I felt that the heel on this shoe forced me to strike further on the outside of my foot than I desired. So try them before you buy them! There seems to be conflict on whether this is a stability or motion control shoe but I would put it in the motion control category. I returned mine and picked up some Brooks Adrenaline..
