ADIDAS SL20 100 MILE REVIEW | A runners review of the best value shoe of 2020 | eddbud

[@RareAirTwo4]

I'm a runner, and I love shoes, but I really watch these reviews since I find Ed quite entertaining, and love his nerdy jokes.

[@EDDBUD]

Thanks for tuning in It’s appreciated 👍🏼🏃🏻‍♂️😊

[@HuwJones]

I'm a 6'4", 175 pound runner with 452 miles on my SL20's and still going strong. 2nd pair ready to rock and roll once I hit 500 miles.

[@EDDBUD]

A classic shoe. Will be remembered for many moons. 🏃🏻‍♂️👍🏼😊

[@rusteetrombone4830]

Would you recommend for a full marathon race day shoe?

[@HuwJones]

@@rusteetrombone4830 I haven't run that kind of distance in them. I wouldn't say it's an easy/recovery mile shoe....on longer runs I use something with more cushion. Not sure what Edd thinks?

[@rusteetrombone4830]

@@HuwJones cheers. Yeah wasn’t thinking long / easy training but for race day on a full. Might have too much ground feel??? I would think a half marathon race day shoe for sure

[@rusteetrombone4830]

@@HuwJones also I’m 6’ and 185 lbs so not a waif runner type. Faster at short distances for sure

[@JeremyGiese]

I have the SL20s and love the fit/lockdown. Do wish slightly more midsole in the forefoot so I could use it for longer runs. Can’t wait for the review of the SL20.2 👍🏻

[@EDDBUD]

Coming tomorrow Jeremy 👍🏼🏃🏻‍♂️😊

[@franklehouillier8865]

It's funny but I don't feel like the SL20s do any worse in the 10-15 mile range than the Boston 9s.

[@dominicmcnamara]

Kofuzi has the reality stone, Emily Heller the time stone, Seth the power stone, FOD the mind stone, MegWag the space stone and you Eddbud the soul stone. Shoevengers assemble.

[@vitorrodolfobecegato6619]

Bought the black/white/aqua Primeblue version and I'm in love with it. Went a full size up since my feet are quite wide and tall. Feels snappy but quite soft as well. The Continental rubber is just perfect: durable and extremely grippy. A great partner for my faster training sessions!

[@EDDBUD]

I love the fact they clean up so well and at the price we all paid for these you cant beat it for value. Those super shoes are great fun but as a daily warrior these cannot be vanquished! Thanks for tuning in 👍😊🏃‍♂️

[@MarianLuncasu]

I put 100 miles into my SL20 and they are still in perfect condition. I went to half-marathon distance with them and they did very well all throughout. Thank you, eddbud, for your initial review, which convinced me to buy them. I intend to go to 600Km in those before retiring them.

[@EDDBUD]

Great to hear! I am so happy they have worked out this well. Thanks for tuning in 👍😊🏃‍♂️

[@savannahjackson8513]

I bought my first pair of SL20 because of your reviews last year. I now own 4 pairs! Love ‘em!

[@chrishollyryan]

Ed, I have to say your shoe game is on point! A lot of your KZbin colleagues talk and review shoes but you are one of the few that are really passionate about the ones that you like. Seth reviews them all, but sometimes it’s hard to tell what he really likes - with you, that’s not an issue and I appreciate that. You are spot on with the SL20. It’s a firm ride and (for me) good for about 8 miles on concrete but any longer and there’s just not enough underfoot. Please keep it up!

[@EDDBUD]

Hey Chris! I try and give my honest opinions though I’m happy if they change over time. That’s the beauty of life, it moulds, changes and is fluid as the sands of time pass by. I’m worried on the sl20.2 though. 😭

[@JRZSHR]

What a great shoe and a tremendous value. I retired my SL20s at 593 miles. The cushioning was gone. I started to feel the impact from the road at 500 miles, but the upper and outsole showed little signs of wear. Thanks for the review and have a great Holiday Season !

[@EDDBUD]

Superb value and durability. Glad it worked out well for you. Happy holiday season to you and yours. 👍🏼😊🏃🏻‍♂️

[@nathaliec7330]

Order my second pair. Love this shoe so much in light trails and everyday miles and looks great all the time. Always perfect comfort for me

Glad you like them! Such a value shoe in a world of crazy priced foam! Thanks for tuning in 👍😊🏃‍♂️

[@viswajitswain7076]

Yes I agree. I prefer the simple nature of the Sl20. Thanks for watching Viswajit 👍🏼😊🏃🏻‍♂️

Thanks man. Nice review, convinced me to get them. Had Adidas Super Response 2.0, will be cool to try some lighter shoes

[@livegreatalways]

Coincidentally just came back running in the SL20 (mine is the Primeblue version) doing some easy+strides. Check the mileage and it was 176km. Mine almost like still brand new, yes, superb value as I bought it at 60% off. I really love my pair, it was like addiction, every time wanted to reach out for them haha. Already disappointed hearing of weight gain in the .2 version. Tq for the video and awaiting your review on the . 2 version.

[@EDDBUD]

I’m worried for the sl20.2. Even in hand it doesn’t have the vibes. 🏃🏻‍♂️👍🏼😊

[@sebastianwt]

I picked these up on Amazon for less than $30!! A steal, excellent shoe.

[@EDDBUD]

Unbeatable value Sebastian! 👍🏼😊🏃🏻‍♂️

[@a.ezemba]

Got a new subscriber with me! I just started binging your reviews. I was stuck between choosing the Kinvara 11 and the SL 20, I went with the Kinvara 11 due to it feeling like it had a little more cushion in it.

[@EDDBUD]

Might try the 12 when it drops. Most greatful for the sub, thanks for watching 😊👍🏼🏃🏻‍♂️

[@ReimerKeith]

I have two pairs in my rotation, and just ordered two more at a deep discount. Great shoe. At 190 miles, the inside of one heel has wear similar to yours.

[@EDDBUD]

Superb deals on those. Stock up Old Tanker as the sl20.2 is a vastly different beast. 😊👍🏼🏃🏻‍♂️

[@texasmh4973]

Have 103 ‘big ones’ on my SL20s and are still like new. Great shoe. Surprised the 20.2s don’t have the torsion plate. We’ll see if that works out for them...

[@EDDBUD]

Yes a worrying sight to my eyes was the lack of the grey plate. They had 1 job 🤣

[@rcheese3094]

Im loving the content mate but i do think some clips of you running in the shoes would really help people decide whilst also making the viedos more entertaining!

[@EDDBUD]

I prefer to run the miles at proper paces without stops and messing around carrying a camera. Plus right now I run early morning or evening due to kids etc so it would be mainly images of a high vis jacket in the darkness.

[@TheChessPlayer1956]

Well, buy them I did EDD! For a great price of $80 taking your warning that the SL20.2 was only good if you wanted a heavier more cushioned shoe. I have plenty of those already. They arrive this Friday in a beautiful "Solar Yellow" colorway. Reminds me a bit of "Tweedy bird and Sylvester the cat." :-) 65th birthday coming up tomorrow. 4:45am run with my new marathon training partner also.

[@EDDBUD]

Nice low stack shoe this one. The last of those good lower stack old school shoes. Enjoy 👍🏼

[@longdistancerunner]

I have almost 300 miles in my SL20's. And they have been great up to about 16km. The only down-side have been my heels slipping a bit if I don't wear the right socks and tie the shoes very tight. But as you say, for longer runs the stack height in the fore foot is a bit limiting. For longer runs (like the last one I ran), I prefer it's bigger brother, Boston 9, which also has a bit boost under the fore foot while keeping a similar gait-cycle.

[@kimwarner6050]

Ive had this shoe for 3 days. I've ran it every day. This shoe for some reason seems to make my turn over effortlessly. The cushion to me seems fine. The longest run I've done is 9 miles. Also I don't believe the shoe is broken in yet

[@EDDBUD]

Yes it’s so simple and running doesn’t feel encumbered by it. 👍🏼😊🏃🏻‍♂️

[@mitchyruns7818]

I’ve done 140 in mine and do really like them. I done 13.1 in them on Saturday. I do prefer my Boston 9s but can’t knock the sl20, got a second pair ready to go. Only thing I would say is I can feel the cushioning dying on them slowly, but for 55 quid or so, can’t complain

[@EDDBUD]

I think for the cost and fun factor they are hard to beat. Will the second version be as good? 👍🏼😊🏃🏻‍♂️

[@mitchyruns7818]

@@EDDBUD is it me or do the new ones just look bigger, taller in a way!? I have a feeling they may do well to get a draw away at Stoke, the first one would probably have got shoe of the year if it wasn’t for the endorphin speed? Then again, for the prices you can get them, probably should be shoe of the year

[@slorunner7086]

Cushioning is dying because sl20 is EVA foam based but Boston 9 has TPU boost foam under lightstrike. TPU foams are known to be far more durable and also not sensitive to temperature. Like plain EVA foam can get pretty stiff in cold training environment.

[@mitchyruns7818]

@@slorunner7086 exactly. Can tell the difference on the cold. Great shoe for the money, probably reach more for my adios 5s at the minute though.

[@markmunday1275]

Loving your vids Mr B. I'm a bit worried that 'future Edd' though, looks like he's striving for the trendy grim reaper vibe 😀. I bought a pair for Mrs M. She said they need to be 1/2 a size larger than her normal size. Jim Bowen...."This is what you could have won."

[@EDDBUD]

That’s how things are in the future. The sun shines so brightly we have wear shades and the only tv broadcast is reruns of Bullseye. 😊👍🏼🏃🏻‍♂️

Enjoyed any single word of this review. Mine are actually quarantined in their box, due to Achilles injury... :-( Meanwhile, with a little help from Adidas customer service, I finally managed to get myself a shiny pair of much coveted Adios Pro in the yellow WR colourway !! Kudos to unknown Mr. Robert who was able to overcome the site failure and place my order (quickly delivered straight from Germany, one full day in advance !).

[@EDDBUD]

Hope you recovery quickly and come back stronger Massimo. Also glad you got some of the Adios pro. A most in demand shoe of the moment. 👍🏼😊🏃🏻‍♂️

[@tonybaines8441]

Like to watch these videos and have subscribed, picked up a pair of these after you good review and for the “earth credits” was good value but found a little flat underfoot once got up to 7-8K. Might be after the comfort of much loved endorphin speeds I bought after seeing your post on them 👍👍👍👍

[@jackash1975]

When i saw Kofuzi running with those heated gloves i instantly thought of the Infinity Gauntlet!!

[@EDDBUD]

🤣🤣🤣

[@sneakerprofiler]

Good to see you hit the 100 mile mark in these, solebrother. I hit 123 miles (197k) in mine this morning (launch colorway and weight). I did not break out the .2 yet... I gotta earn that by putting in more time in my OGs. Are you weighing the shoes in the comparo or using the weights from the site? The site states 8.1oz for the OG and 8.8oz for the updated version. I'm looking forward to the initial thoughts. Examining my SL20.2: Built on same last as aPro Tongue is no longer partially gusseted Tongue is switched out to the Pro twins tongue Heel cup is shaped identical to the Pro twins heel The sewn/glued heel counter is now only an overlay Interior padding is more robust (daily trainer style) than aPro adidas didn't give this upper the adizero stripes Midsole is more robust (strike neutral) and seems a smidge softer Midsole shape is identical to the aPro sans the cutout for BOOST Outsole no longer includes the torsion system found in the adios and Boston Outsole grip sections are nearly identical to the touch points of the aPro "QUICKSTRIKE" sections are all rubberized as opposed to the aPro 'STRIKE on fabric adidas site claims SL20.2 weighs 249g while the aPro weighs 235g (US Men's size 9.5) At a glance, and considering all specs and details, the SL20 now serves as a relatively inexpensive training partner to the aPro (the OG runs more like a sturdy adios or Boston). So I'm interested to learn whether or not the update runs similar to the aPro. Question: Did adidas get closer to the end goal (training companion to aPro) with the .2 iteration of this Olympic year offering? ✌🏽🖤🏃🏽‍♂️

[@Martha-fluterunner]

Hi Solebrother Amado. You have interesting observations here. I didn’t get on well enough with the SL20 to keep them whereas the Bostons seem to have been made for my feet. I hope the Boston 10 isn’t dramatically different than the 8 and 9. I’ve seen references to a rumor image on a Spanish site of a Boston 10 with a much higher stack midsole. I wouldn’t mind a little more forefoot stack but not at the cost of significant weight gain. And I’ll miss some Boost if they eliminate it completely. Saludos, Martha

[@EDDBUD]

Some super insights there Amado, i have to agree in every area. Thanks for tuning in 👍😊🏃‍♂️

[@sneakerprofiler]

@Lev and Martha Polyakin-Aarons you and me both, solesister. I watched a recent adidas Running adizero upload during which the team revealed the current goal is to maintain legacy while moving the sub-brand into the future. Every engineer and/or designer conceded how daunting a task it is. I think they can keep the 4 core shoes (RC, Takumi Sen, adios, Boston) intact and offer hi-stack versions of 2. adios already has a Pro version and, to me, the aPro is now a hi-stack and plated Boston. We’ll see. ‘Glad to read you. ✌🏽🖤🏃🏽‍♂️

[@sneakerprofiler]

@EDDBUD ‘happy you see it too, solebrother. It’s great they’re actually advertising three shoes are now built on the same last. adidas took a big chance doing that to this shoe... plus removing the torsion system. Did it accomplish the goal though? ‘Looking forward to initial thoughts. ✌🏽🖤🏃🏽‍♂️

[@keysersozae9418]

I have over 200 miles in mine and the left inside heel has a little hole exactly where that one is starting to develop in yours. What a shoe though. As you said, there is nothing to come near it for value. I'll be buying a second pair.

[@ex6tenceLV]

Great shoe for price for a faster daily runs/training, when jogging need to pace up to feel comfortable, walking in it feels a bit weird, but still havent ran 50km.. But.. after run even though I dont feel cushioning enough as Ive used to in 3 years in my Ultraboosts, its so weird my muscles have never felt tired after 7-10km runs, even though I need to focus more on steps I make as its not as cushioned on Uboosts.. And I run only for cardio. Its a great shoe for a speedy training, but for a jogging I still want more cushioning and its understandable, as this shoe is not built for it!

[@EDDBUD]

Yes not a high cushion shoe but for response and pace it’s top notch. 👍🏼🏃🏻‍♂️😊

[@TBVIR]

That shoe is the shoe for the fast running, or racing(maybe?).The light strike form is an enhanced one to accelerate your running. Also the continental rubber is good for the durability. But note this. Sl20 is for neutral feet, for over-pronated please find the another stability shoes. I am waiting for sl20.2 in my country. In case of durability it is better than that of zoom pegasus turbo2, but for the elasticity of the running, I prefer the style of Pegasus turbo 2. If you have a chance to purchase sale, you can buy it, for if your feet is broad... better choose the another shoe. I recommend the running with this shoe but only those whose feet are fit. Remember, shoes are only for the consumption. Your feet are worthier than the shoes. I ran more than 150 km, and done 20km twice with this shoe.

Took awhile for the SL20 to grow on me, but after a 20 mile or so break-in, I'm liking this shoe on the track. But only for track sessions. Mostly 100-800 yard strides. I'm far from a sprinter. Lightstrike still feels firmer than I'd like for most terrain. But it feels great on the nearby school's new track - just enough bounce to make the feet feel light. I tried the all-Boost adidas Adizero Prime on the same track and it felt squishy. But the SL20 feels just right on that slightly resilient synthetic track surface.

The Nike Winflo 7 is legit.

[@randomting9964]

tbh without the pace its abousltry trsh

[@EDDBUD]

I can’t agree here. Great over all paces for me. Maybe you just like more cushion? That’s ok. We are all different.

[@randomting9964]

yea I guess quite like running in the infinity run

[@EDDBUD]

Love that shoe too. I remember the first run in it last December. It got soaked and stained straight out the box. 🤦🏻‍♂️🤣

[@randomting9964]

ouch the pain of a shoe losing a value 😬

[@spartanmike68]

I'm thrilled this shoe worked for so many. Unfortunately, I found it to be very old school, and I don't mean that in a good way. My issue? Simply put, the ride is way too firm and lacks response. After you've tasted newer midsoles (Pebex, DNA Flash, etc) or even standard TPE (Boost), the SL20 just feels dated and honestly unnecessary. For alternatives in the bargain basement category, try any Reebok Pebex based shoe (Run Fast, Panthea, etc.) and you'll get a much smoother ride and more cushion. The SL20 felt like I had wood planks attached to the bottom of my feet. That said, it is a dynamite looking pair of kicks and will therefore move happily to my social wardrobe. YMMV.
