Adidas Women's Energy Cloud V Running Shoes - Lightweight Cushioned Sneakers for Jogging, Gym Workouts & Daily Wear

I wear a 8.5 in flats and I normally buy a 9 in sneakers (I own mostly Nike). After reading a few reviews and that I also have a pair of adidas original 3 stripes, I ordered the 8.5 one. The shoes fit fairly well. I know adidas run a bit large so I was pleased with the fit. But the top of the foot feels snug. I'll tell you why... the tongue of the shoe is not loose, it's actually sowed onto the shoe and it doesn't have an elastic piece so it doesn't stretch any bigger if you. We'd more room. It was a slight discomfort when putting it on but once the shoe is on and tied up, I could barely feel the difference.Someone pointed out that the glue is very visible and I agree with that but it doesn't bother me. What I found surprising is that it didn't come in an adidas box. The box is plain brown all around. I don't know why that is or if that indicates a knock off. The pictures I attached are the shoes on top of the box it came in on the day it arrived. The box literally just have a barcode on it. Hope this review helps those who are deciding to buy these.The supper on the shoe is pretty good. I have a high arch and a wide feet. I wore these a couple times for some light running around on the city while on errand duties. When I feel like working out, I'll definitely take these with me and test them out. :)So comfortable! First, I want to say, Adidas fit people like me with "duck-feet" aka wide feet beautifully! I like to think of people like me as sure-footed since we have extra surface area on the ground. Anyway, Nike shoe makers don't like my kind very much and tend to make my feet hurt. However, Adidas shoe makers have been consistently kind to me over the years and never disappoint me with the fit and comfort of the shoe. They may as well adopt the slogan, "Wide footed people welcome!"This was my first time buying shoes without trying them first and I must say I am not at all disappointed!This shoe in particular is classic looking and great for cardio work out, including running, elliptical and walking. However, not so good when doing leg bench presses as the thin mesh between toes and tip of the shoe doesnt provide much support when pushing 250+ lbs from a diaganol seated press. Other than that, these shoes are great to work oit in if you're not trying to become the hulk. I also wear them when going to big events like baseball games, etc and they are super comfy!Highly recommend if you have duck feet like me. Well worth the $$!I am a size 9.5 in usually all sneakers like Nike’s..etc. these are true to size and I’m glad I didn’t size down...Although I think I’d be fine even if I did. My normal size fits and feels very comfortable and supportive without being bulky and large. Love the look very sleek!The only thing is it seems like the toe box of the shoe is meant for wide feet because it’s a little bigger. That’s why I think even if you sized half down it would also work.I love the shoes, perfect for the gym. ??I ordered a half size down from my usual 7.5 based on the reviews and I'm glad I'm did. The 7 fit perfectly. I just went for a run/walk and it's the first I've exercised in quite a while and I expected it to be a bit of a struggle. These sneakers are amazingly comfortable. No need to break them in.I was worried about the pictures people have posted of their toe poking through the top fabric. It is just a thinner piece of mesh like fabric there but I'll just have to see how it holds up. If you're on the fence I'd say go for it. It doesn't seem like it's on the verge of tearing or anything. It's just a thinner fabric with stretch.They look good, feel good and have a nice cushy bounce to them as you run. Very cloud-like so they live up to their name. Keep in mind I usually but my sneakers from Payless so I'm not used to anything really good quality for comparison. I would recommend!The shoes did not come in an Adidas box, so I was pretty skeptical when I opened them. I am still not 100% sure if these are legitimate, but they are comfortable so far and don't have excessive glue or anything. Most reviews said that this shoe was on the narrow side, but I have pretty wide feet, and these seem perfect. I wear 7 to 7.5 in regular shoes, but I like to size up slightly in exercise shoes so that I do not damage my toes. Size 8 seems to be a perfect fit for what I wanted. I am not quite used to the style (I am an avid Nike girl), but I am hoping the style grows on me. I will modify my review as I wear them to the gym and around but the first impression seems okay.I love adidas and tend to stick with this brand for athletic and running shoes. I have regular to narrow feet and long toes, a super high arch and I tend to pronate and heel-strike. Adidas have usually been a great fit as far as the toe box being the right length, the arch support in the right place, and the sides not being too high to rub on my ankle bone. These shoes are gorgeous - pure white - and I use them while coaching gymnastics indoors only. However, they do not have the same amount of arch support as my previous pair of adidas. They're better than the Neo Cloudfoam Xpression, which have zero support. I'm definitely keeping these, but will prob wear more as fashion than as supportive athletic shoes.I have been searching for a new bootcamp shoe for awhile and stumbled upon these. They are a neutral shoe so if you're looking for arch support these are not for you. I wear a 9 in athletic shoes and this shoe fit perfectly lengthwise. The width is a little wide for someone with narrow feet. And my foot sets deep into the shoe so the padding was rubbing on my ankle bone. I bought a slim pair of plain shoe cushions (nothing fancy, just those cheap flat shoe cushions) and put them under the shoe insert. Worked perfectly. Now my foot sets higher which also helps with the width of the shoe. I would buy these again.these are comfy and light but the heel padding is very movable and after taking on and off for a few weeks has gone quite unevdnThey fit too narrow at the base, seem less than the size described. Uncomfortable at the gym, too. The seller deserves a 5 star rating, but this item not more than 3.Great product exactly what I wanted. Comfortable and offers great support they also look good too.Very comfylooks very trendy and hard wearing
