The rearfoot and midfoot have very comfortable against skin feel, but the toe guard can be a little irritating on the toes. The upper is very comfortable, but is best to use with socks. The tongue is perfect in thickness, is gusseted and stays in place. The mesh at the forefoot does sit low, providing lower volume and security while still giving the toes enough room. The forefoot fits wider, with stretchy mesh that allows the toes to spread. The laces stay locked in and I did not have to lace lock the shoe. The midfoot has thick overlays and the Adidas logos integrate with the laces well to provide custom security. So for those with sensitive heel bones this is an excellent shoe. This and the thick heel counter locks the rearfoot in well while keeping pressure off the calcanei. The heel fits more normal, with Adidas's split heel counter providing plenty of security on the medial and lateral sides of the foot while leaving the posterior section open. The overall fit is slightly wider, with mesh material that stretches well particularly in the forefoot. ![]() Solar Glide 4 ST (Matt): The Adidas Solar Glide 4 ST fits me true to size in my normal US men's size 10. Finally, the heel has a split rigid heel, where the posterior aspect is open, allowing space for those with sensitive achilles or calcanei. The thicker overlays, which includes the 3 stripes logo, also contribute to midfoot security from the upper. Given the lower volume, it is also very secure and I did not have any problematic heel slippage. Outside of the warmth, the padded and stretchy tongue contributes to an overall comfortable upper. This made for a very warm running shoe, and I found my foot sweat even when it was 45 degrees outside. The layered mesh is on the thicker side and the tongue is gusseted, which adds another layer of material through the midfoot. ![]() However, given the lower volume, I would not recommend sizing down for length as it is only a touch long. The shoe fits true to size, with possibly just a little extra length. Solar Glide 4 (Nathan): The upper of the Solar Glide 4 is a layered mesh that, consistent with many other Adidas models, is lower volume. A stable, stiff and protective ride with a little more apparent stability than previous models, the Solar Glide 4 ST continues as one of the only current Adidas stability shoes for those who want a high mileage trainer. ![]() Almost full length Boost provides some cushioning, but the ride is stiff overall and takes some time to break in. A slightly wider fit and comfortable heel provide plenty of room, while a stable frame in the midsole provides forward guidance throughout the length of the shoe. Solar Glide 4 ST (Matt): A traditional ride with new age stability, the Solar Glide 4 ST is a heavy duty stability shoe for long and easy mileage. Wherever you land on that spectrum, the Solar Glide 4 delivers a firmer-riding, consistent, durable, and heavier shoe. Until then, grab a closer look at the shoes here below.Solar Glide 4 (Nathan):In a culture of running shoe construction with lots of innovation, the Solar Glide 4 may be a refreshing taste of traditional trainers with an emphasis on durability while others may find it lacking that new-age lightweight and propulsive feel that is more commonly found in modern trainers. ![]() Black padded collars and white laces round out this upcoming release.Įuropean retailers currently have this 4D Run 1.0 dropping on February 27th for $220. Profile three stripes sit flush on the textile construction, unlike the stabilizing “Signal Coral” heel clip. Above, Primeknit uppers are reinforced with synthetic overlays at the toe tip and heel Understated “Footwear White” bases feature digital, quasi-carbon fiber patterns all throughout. Digital Light Synthesis adds unprecedented precision to the lattice midsole, which keeps its debut “Aero Green” look. While both sneakers share an overall “runner” aesthetic, the 4D Run 1.0 improves on what the Fast Company’s 2017 Innovation By Design Award winner started. Leaked September 2019, the newest Three Stripes model to boast 3D-printed midsoles comes in at a more affordable price than the original FUTURECRAFT 4D. But the 4D Run 1.0 is trying to change that. Adidas’ data-driven 4D Technology has yet to see the widespread fan-fare of BOOST-cushioning, even after three years on the market.
