![]() ![]() I know the initial paragraphs of this review may sound highly critical, and one would think, well, why are you reviewing this shoe? Fear not, for once I overcame the stiffness issues, everything else on this shoe, I absolutely loved. The longer you wear this shoe, the better it gets, and unlike other shoes where longer runs or excess milage may make the midsole pack down and feel boggy, the Agravic Ultra only gets better with time. However, it also serves the wearer exactly like a leather work boot: once broken in, it contours itself perfectly to the runner’s foot, almost becoming a part of the foot itself. Despite the large amount of cushion, this shoe does not feel soft right out of the box it feels like putting on an incredibly stiff, brand-new leather work boot. ![]() Not so for the adidas Terrex Agravic Ultra.Īt an actual weight of 11.6 ounces (328 grams) for a men’s size 9, this is not a lightweight shoe, nor is it minimalist, with a 38-millimeter stack height at the heel and an 8-millimeter drop. ![]() I’ve been exploring the trails for less than two years, and all other trail running shoes I’ve worn and loved - such as the Hoka Speedgoat line, the Brooks Catamount, the Scarpa Spin Infinity, and the Nike Wildhorse line - have felt soft, squishy, and easy to wear right out of the box. Part of my initial dislike for the adidas Terrex Agravic Ultra ($160) I attribute to my lack of experience with a wide variety of trail shoes. Never have I ever worn a shoe that I hated so much at the beginning, and loved so much by the end. ![]()
