Tradeoff between Stability, comfort and weight is just perfect and totally different compared to for instance my last Lotto shoes. Quality seems to be much higher as well. Love it. Seizing has to be considered and just take 0.5 to 1 size bigger than usual.
Wow, awesome timing showing these shoes. I was just shopping these yesterday and was wondering if you guys had done a review on these! Thanks Michelle you're always great with these reviews. Cheers! M
Regarding? Fit? Cushion? Support? Grip? Honestly, unless you are looking for the lightest shoe, on tennis Diadora Blueshield plus a good bridge are usually the way to go (if you are above Sa 85kg). For my lighter friends, they usually avoid diadora or take the lightest, pure ANIMA DD they have. Truly, if you expect long, hard nfad challenging usage, the blueshield tech rocks. If you want to run a quick 10k, it doesn't.
Indeed. Should have known that when I ordered my intro limited white gold Atomo back then.... But then, now I know that my 43 to 43.5 is a 44 to 44.5 in Diadora, so little Harm done.
Sorry you had that experience. I tried them as well, and I went up to a size 10 from my usual 9.5 and once I did that they worked out pretty well for me, and enjoyed the cushion underneath the forefoot. Troy, TW
Sizing being off does in no way (but in shape or form, Lol) make a shoe horrible EXCEPT FOR YOU. Please learn to differentiate between a review and an opinion only targeting a specific part of the whole. Read some reviews, strangely (as it wasn't that way in say 2014ish) diadora seems to have shrunk their sizes. :)

No problem, hope it helped! Happy to answer any further questions!

How does the torneo 2 compare to the torneo 1 in terms of sizing? Should I order half a size bigger?
Are the insoles from the b.icon 2 the same size/shape as the Finale if you lay one on top of each other?
Hesitating between Blushield and the Finale. I have Nike vapor pro now. Which would you recommend/is closest to the Nikes?

The torneo is the best shoe on the market for flat and wide feet - amazing stability. Disagree on sizing - I believe they all run .5 small.
Ah, I think the men's sizing and women's might differ a bit in that case! I know we have had debates over the sizing lately!

True to size IMO. Also a Torneo user
Where's the Trofeo 2?
Diadora messed up sizing so they run half size small , so if you are 9.5 US order 10.
- I’m 9 Uk , 9.5 US , NOT 8.5 UK as they write.

The b icon 2 is a horrible shoe. Sizing is off and a tight toe box. Got blisters and threw them out
