UK guy here - Im a size 10 - I've done 80kms so far in these, they get better each time - at first I couldn't get a decent lockdown but since wearing slightly thicker socks and using the runners knot I'm really starting to enjoy them and for me they shine runnng at pace uphill on compacted trail. Thanks for the review.
I’ll do a full review once I get more miles on them, but I feel exactly what you feel. Mainly the runners knot was a big help. And I’m loving them both up and down. I feel like my cruising pace is dramatically faster.
I agree that the non-Ultra version which just came out looks promising. I don’t run ultras and loved the 2022 Speed Ultra. Great lockdown, versatile grip and decent bounce.
@@kgenest100 The prior TERREX Speed Ultra's were my go to ultra race shoe in 2022 and 2023. Ran a few 50ks, 50 miler, and 100k high elevation ultra races in them (2 different pairs). The new Agravic Speed seems like the updated version.
Definitely! Especially having so many very successful trail runners signed on their elite team. I can’t wait to see the evolution of their trail shoes from here.
I have the Adidas terrex speed , I also had the fit issue but put lock laces in that fixed it , and there super responsive on trails and roads too , but gonna use them for short trail races
Now that you have many miles in the Adidas Speed Ultra, what are your thoughts on sizing. You mentioned 1/2 size down would be better…I’m worried about down hill and hitting the toe box. Thanks for your feedback. Keep brining the great videos and vibe.
I would honestly buy something else unless you really want to try these specifically. On top of the big fit the collar really digs into my ankle. I love everything underfoot, but the upper on these is really not shaped right for me.
@ Thanks I really appreciate the feedback and your honesty with your thoughts on this very hyped shoe, looks like I’ll stay with my Salomon S Lab Courtney D edition. Which is a great shoe for this long days on trail. Wishing you the best and hope you have an amazing weekend coming up. 🤙🏽
I'm worried about the extreme rocker going all the way to the heel - similar to the Pulsar Trail Pro 2. Feels good at speed, but when you slow down it feels like negative drop.
Yeah I noticed that standing still but walking/slow running feels good. I’m sorta digging all the heavy rocker shoes lately. Just haven’t found the perfect one yet
@@psillyrunner8650 I came to the conclusion I don't like rocker in trail shoes. I prefer flatter shoes with forward flex, like the Kiger 9s or the Kjerags. Rocker always felt like it forced me into a midfoot strike. I like to vary my footstrike depending on the terrain. Rocker can also feel out of control on descents. YMMV.
My feet always swell post 100 miles haha. I get some really nice kankles sometimes 😂 Have you tried the Agravic speed? I’m going to try those this weekend.
@@psillyrunner8650 : I thought about getting the Agravic Speeds. But man, i've been on a hot streak for Trail SS. Super Shoes. Figured I'd just get the Agravic Ultras. I still have my Vectiv 2's as well.
You ran in the snow, how did it go? Broke my fibula on ice in early April and looking at a good pair of running shoes for this icy snowy terrain. Any slipping or sliding that is worse than warranted?
Im intrigued! Are there any compromises in stability, cushion or outsole due to light weight? Im 200 lbs looking for a 100k raceday shoe that wont smoke my feet nd low legs.
They feel stable to me but I’m 5’6” and 145lbs. The energy rods do a lot to make that foam more stable. The lockdown is good too so that helps. If you’re more of a toe-strike type of runner you shouldn’t have an issue because the forefoot it rather wide. Let me know if you decide to try em out!
I love em on the uphills either walking, power hiking or running! The collar around the ankle doesn’t fit great for me, but everything else about the shoe is perfect.
I’m a hater when it comes to Hoka so I’m going to yes, but take it with a grain of salt. Also though it should be better for the price! It’s definitely wider in the forefoot that a goat and the sizes run larger. So if you’re a 9 in a goat you might need as small as an 8 in the Adidas. Hope this helps 💪🏻
Amazing, an 18 minute video about the Adidas Agravic Ultra shoe..............and only about 10 seconds worth of actual information! Try and love yourself a bit less, and try and do an actual review of the product you are intending to be testing

Glad those things are working out for ya!
Definitely the best trail shoe I’ve tested yet!
You make those shoes look good! I'm actually very interested in picking up a pair of Agravic Speed (non ultra variant). Beautiful trail run!
I wanna try the non ultra version now that I’ve tried these

Adidas is taking over Nike as king of the road shoes right now. Was just a matter of time before they released a bomber trail shoe.

Seems like most of the Terrex stuff runs large. I may run Bighorn 100 in these, but we’ll see how the testing goes!
Oh, next time I'm in Utah visiting my family, I'll hit you up and maybe you can take me on this route!
Let me know, we’ll figure something out

Agree 100% The more I run in them, the better I like them. Note that I do put tongue pads in them to help the lockdown.
I haven’t had to go that route yet, but I definitely wish I had a half size down or so.

Beautiful channel, subscribed
Thank you so much 🙏🏻
Bought mine in Regular Size. Super Happy. Feet swells in mile 50 and Up. It's nice to have the Real Estate up front.

I’d recommend the La Sportiva Bilzzard GTX for ice and packed snow. That’s the shoe I wear all winter until the snow is in “spring condition”

Great video! How are they power hiking uphill? I have the north face summit vectiv pro 2’s, but considering these for an upcoming 100k. Thanks!

Any thoughts on the Adidas Terrex Speed Ultra for sizing? Size 1/2 up or down? Thanks in advance for your reply 🤙🏽
I want a pair soooo bad now 😅😅😅😤
You come running with me and I’ll buy you a pair ❤️
is this better than the hoka speedgoat? :) thanks.
