    The Springblades were trash on wet surfaces. You wore these in the rain and were liable to do the James Brown splits or an MJ 360 spin, depending on how fast you could recover your balance.

    • @DrakeNguyen
      @DrakeNguyen 6 років тому +61

      Might just be the older versions but I remember I could feel it in my bones when jumping vertically. I switched to something with more foam/rubber soon after. It worked well for forward propulsion but there really wasn't a noticeable improvement over other cushioning systems. Also, I remember I could only use it on hard surfaces like asphalt (or dirt/mud/grass would get stuck in the blades), and because of that the plastic blades would get scuffed up and sharpen, making them hurt for other reasons...

    I had a pair of Adidas springblades. I remember that the durability of the blades was not very good. The rubber fell of the bottom of them after 3 months and the plastic was very slippery and resulted in me twisting my ankle numerous times. I honestly like the way the shoe looked and the concept of it but the execution of the idea was very poor.

    The Springblades blew up in Brazil and people still rock them to this date. They sold for more than the ultraboost too for the longest time.
    And yeah, they're terrible for running. If you tried to do any sort of long distance running on them, not only it was extremely uncomfortable, the blades broke off in weeks of moderate usage.

      My springblades had issues, the plastic top part that the laces went through cut into my foot every time. Then the front section of the plastic "spring' assembly came unglued on one, then half of all of the rubber pads kept coming halfway off and tripping me.
      Had a couple good runs in them, but felt way unstable with lateral movement.

    The Zig Tech was the most comfortable shoe ever. I used to travel to races all over the country doing photography and walked about 10 miles a day on hard hot pavement, had to do a lot of standing around, and TONS of kneeling squatting behind pit walls. They stood up to the abuse really well and kept my feet comfortable for those long 15 hour work days. Really miss the zigs.

    I loved the Springblade, I bought a second pair after my first broke at the middle. The second pair also broke at the middle. That was it's only flaw for me. The newer ones fixed this by making the shoe half regular and half blades.

  • @elidobson9402
    @elidobson9402 5 років тому +2

    I really liked the springblades. They were really comfortable overall. The first pair I had was the pair with blades only under the heel, and a regular toe. Those shoes I still wear to this day (although mostly for outdoors stuff). they never lost their grip (which is amazing because I used them for basketball both indoors and out.) and never fell apart. They are a really good long term shoe. However, after I stopped wearing these on a regular basis, I bought the pair with blades on the entire bottom, and the fabric/mesh upper. The rubber on these shoes didn't last even six months. I don't know what was the big difference but I was walking on plastic after like 5 months.

    So i just bought the Reebok Zig Pulse, they look a little weird but are one of the most comfortable shoes I've owned. They are great if you stand, or walk on a hard surface like concrete all day (i.e. if you work at Home Depot, or other big box stores). I got a killer deal at the Reebok outlet in Vacaville Ca, all shoes were 50% off, and i found a clearance pair that only cost me 35 bucks. I highly suggest them if you dont care about how they look.

I've also taken then hiking and are pretty good on rough trails, but the knit upper gets dusty quick. They are my favorite pair. Although you're right, I get strange looks sometimes when I wear them and have been asked many times what brand they are because the 3 stripes are the same color as the rest of the shoe. The only logo is on the instep tape.
