Back to Results Adidas Adistar Control Manufacturer: Adidas Price: $120 Reviewed in: Feb 2005 Shoe Guide Shoe Type: Motion Control See Specifications Disclaimer B>We Say: The Control is the first Adidas road shoe to feature the Ground Control System, or GCS, in the heel. This new system uses two plastic plates that move slightly on top of one another and help the shoe better handle heel impact. This minimizes overpronation by providing a more stable platform on which to land. The forefoot features Adidas's cushioning foam, Adiprene+, which provides a soft feel and more efficient toe-off. Recommended for moderate overpronators or lightweight runners who pronate excessively. Wear-Testers Say: "The shoe worked well with my orthotics, and the forefoot cushioning was excellent." -Carel Ebihara, 47, Allentown "The tread is great. Also, the heel was firm and stable, yet the shoe wasn't too heavy." -Stacey Pierce, 25, East Lansing Be the First to Review this Shoe Gender: Female Shoe Type: Motion Control Sizes: 4, 4.5, 5, 6, 6.5, 7, 7.5, 8, 8.5, 9, 9.5, 10, 10.5 Weight: 12 oz.
