    SL20...interesting name. I might be the only one watching who remembers Adidas in 1972 with their highly innovative SL72, an excellent (for that era) shoe. In 1976, they launched the SL76 (See the pattern?). Nice to see Adidas going back to some “older” terminology!

      My first pair of running shoes as a high school sophomore in 1973 were the Adidas Viennas (white leather upper and red stripes) - retail price $18! My second pair of shoes - Adidas SL 72! I also wore the Adidas Country.

If I've got extra time in the morning I'll watch on my phone, if I'm making food at home i will play it on the TV in the background if my roommates aren't home. Otherwise will watch on my laptop or desktop depending on where I'm using my computer (campus or at home).

    @samuelwilmer1144 4 года назад

    I have about 31 miles in the SL20's including a Half Marathon Time Trial. I love this shoe. It's pretty comfortable and quite snappy at an amazing price. I don't now if I would take them up to 20 miles or the marathon with the lower stack height. The midsole is definitely why you buy this shoe. Super snappy. It's funny you mention the track commute because that's the first run I did in the shoe!

  • @Martha-fluterunner
    @Martha-fluterunner 4 года назад

    Seth, I’m so glad you’re digging Adidas’s latest lower-profile offerings. The SL20 is a great shoe and I think it could be marathon-worthy for a light, efficient runner. However, even though that describes me, the snugger midfoot fit of the Boston (both 8 and 9) worked out better though I probably won’t use them for my marathon. However, it’s the shoe I just keep grabbing most often for all kinds of workouts because it’s so comfortable and versatile and mostly it just makes me want to go fast! It will be exciting to see what the Adizero Pro will be like. I guess it is coming out really soon.

    I have about 30 miles on my SL20 shoes. I found them dirt cheap on adidas website weeks ago. Pretty much the same opinion on these. My heel slipped a bit so I locked it down with the runners knot and it helped a ton. I won't take them past 13-15 miles I don't think because I need more height. But these shoes are certainly snappy and fast. Very breathable, and for the $50 I paid, I can not complain.

  • @marcocanosa
    @marcocanosa 4 года назад

    Seth was so right about this shoe!! the upper felt way too unnecessarily structured & stiff. fit was meh a little bit of slipping here and there & thats why i had to return it. nonetheless lightstrike was definitely an upgrade. still a pretty decent speedy-day shoe, did a 9:37 3k out of the box on this one. but if you were to ask me personally, i still prefer the bostons :)

    I went up a 1/2 size with Adidas and all of a sudden the shoes fit my feet perfectly. (I have a weird foot. It is very wide up front and really narrow in the arch and heel, with a very high arch). I am LOVING the SL20 and Boston 8. I have been dealing with serious back issues, and now I am FINALLY able to run/jog again. I am slow and large (6,1; 200lbs +), but I am still loving the SL20 and Boston 8. I don't like moon boots. As soon as I lose the weight, I am planning on beating Kipchoge.

    Was super excited about these shoes, as my Pureboost DPRs are wearing out. Unfortunatly I had to send them straight back...they came up too small, so I'd recommend going up a half size, but even with the tight fit my heel was slipping up and down just walking around. Will have to try the Adios 5s or Boston 8s.

      I have the boston 8 that is similar to the 9. It feels different than boston 7, more responsive and better stability. The sl20 feels a little dead after a few miles and harder to keep running when you are tired in my opinion. I like the boston for longer distances because it can push you forward easier.

    QOD: Laptop. I work in my office on my work laptop and watch it when I start the day. Sometimes on my tv when I run early and stretch.

    QOTD: Always my iPhone 8+ or whatever it’s called. You inspired me to make a daily video while running 1 mile per day

    Sounds like it might be a good shoe. Affordable. Uses tire rubber (odd other tire companies aren't licencing thier rubber....Pirelli, Goodyear, Yokahama..). If only this shoe came in more "manly" colour ways. Black might not appeal to some (myself). Had the mesh been grey with blue stripes, white lightstrike and black sole...

    QD, my laptop. Always, not sure why. Usually watch after I read Devo and check emails.

    Hi Seth, thank you so much the reviews you put out for us. I need to replace my Nike Pegasus 36, a shoe that has worked really well for me, but I would like to try something new. Is the SL20 a suitable replacement in terms of underfoot feel?

    I watch on an iPhone for convenience. I tend to listen to them as I’m getting ready in the morning.
