Best praise vs top criticism for Adidas Adizero Takumi Sen 11
“Thank you for the question! Everyday: Supernova Rise - great shoe for those very slow easy km's on a Sunday Tempo: Takumi Sen 10 - Probably my favourite! Race: Avanti - I usually spend most of my time racing between 3-5k on the track and I love the Avanti! Weddings: A pair of Samba's, because it gets me in trouble but it looks cool!! Bonus shoe: My White and Black EVO SL, one of the staples of my wardrobe every day in the office or running to get a coffee!”
“For me, it's a tossup between the Vaporfly 2 or the Prime X Strung 2. With both shoes, I'm usually surprised by how quickly I'ms moving. The Vaporfly kind of feels like the devil on my shoulder...hyping me to pick up my speed/cadence (they feel awful at slow/easy paces.) The Primes feel so springy and cushion-y, that I find myself attacking downhills more aggressively than I would in most of my other shoes. Honorable mentions: Superblast, Takumi Sen 9”
