Back to Results Adidas Response Control 7 Manufacturer: Adidas Price: $80 Reviewed in: Mar 2008 Shoe Guide Shoe Type: Motion Control See Specifications See a Video Review Disclaimer About the Shoe Lab Cushioning: Flexibility: Responsiveness: This update is roomier than its predecessor. It's built on the same new last as the Adistar (left), but in the Response 7 the entire shoe has been broadened to a men's 2E and women's D. Not only does this supply more room for wide feet, but the larger midsole also provides the Control 7 a broad base of support. Also new are small plastic plates in the midsole under the heel. They give the shoe added stability by slowing the speed of the foot's side-to-side movement at impact. Recommended for runners with wide, flat feet looking for a good bargain. "The shoe had excellent stability." ---Jon Freiburg, 37, East Lansing "I liked the roomy toebox, but it was hard to tighten the shoe around my arch." --Jessica Kenyon, 25, San Diego "This shoe was very flexible and had great cushioning yet it had enough stability for me. It was very breathable and one of the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn." --David Swanson, 39, East Lansing "I often have problems when wearing shoes with a large arch because it starts to bother my foot after running for a few miles, but this shoe didn't cause that problem at all." --Betsy Socci, 31, East Lansing "I was impressed with the extra support in the heel and toe areas." --Katrina Taft, 28, East Lansing "I found the heel to be a bit on the loose side." --David Swanson, 39, East Lansing Be the First to Review this Shoe Gender: Male Shoe Type: Motion Control Sizes: 5, 5.5, 6, 6.5, 7, 7.5, 8, 8.5, 9, 9.5, 10, 10.5, 11, 11.5, 12, 12.5, 13 Widths: A,B,D,E,EE Midsole Characteristics: Large midsole offers a broad base of support.
