10 Best Adidas Running Shoes For Women in 2022

The Ultraboost needs no introduction. Already in its 21st version, it remains a favorite among runners. Even more, it’s ours too. 

If you want a shoe that bridges the gap between lifestyle and performance, nothing does it quite like the Ultraboost 21. It’s street-ready and more importantly, it can up your running. 

It’s cushy and responsive, taking on the pavement has never been this fun. 

The Boost tech is, of course, the mastermind behind all this. It blends softness and bounce so well, it almost felt like we had springs underfoot. 

If you want a shoe that can last, we highly recommend the Ultraboost. It’s loaded with Adidas’ Continental rubber, which has always been foolproof in providing top-notch strength. And our tests only prove this true. 

The shoe’s outsole is not as tough as others at 72.8HC. But it wowed us when it showed no wear and tear after 30 miles of heavy pounding on asphalt and cement. Given this, we are confident it can last 300-500 miles. 

All of these are packed in a hefty shoe. At 11.9 oz, the Adidas Ultraboost 21 tips our scales. But if you want a tried-and-true running shoe that will go the distance, don’t skip the Ultraboost 21.

The Adidas Adizero Adios 6 may be a dedicated racer. But if you want to run with speed in your training days, it can set PBs. 

Unlike most racing flats of today, the Adios 6 does not have a carbon-fiber plate. But don’t fret, it can send you flying. With its insanely bouncy and snappy Lightstrike midsole, it will push you forward to your next step. 

The firmness of the foam also allows a highly stable ride. Not once did our feet roll too far to the sides. As in, slips should not be a concern. 

After putting it through the paces, we can confirm that the Adidas Adizero Adios 6 suits distances from 10Ks to half marathons to a T. 

With its impressive grip, it goes above and beyond other road shoes. On quick turns during wet conditions, our strides were surefooted and planted. Even better, it bites on light trails!

It’s light and agile, the Adidas Terrex Two BOA can handle unfriendly terrains with speed. 

On rocky and wet surfaces, the Terrex Two BOA latches. And if you want the ultimate protection out on the trails, this shoe has more than enough cushioning to shield your feet from abrasive ground elements. 

Even more, it’s supportive AF! On loose and uneven surfaces, our steps remained anchored. The BOA Fit System locked our feet so well, they never wobbled. 

Of all the Adidas trail shoes we’ve put on, the Adidas Terrex Two BOA remains the most breathable. So much so, long excursions on a hot day are not even a challenge. 

If there’s one thing that held the shoe back as our top pick in this category, it's the thin upper. It barely has any padding, it rubbed against our skin. But don’t worry. It’s easily remedied with a thick pair of socks.

Out of the 30+ Adidas trail shoes on our roster, the Adidas Galaxy Trail stunned us. With its sub $100 price tag, it has the makings of the more advanced trail runners on the market. 

And for such a down-to-earth price, it can do so much. Whether you’re running recovery or tempo pace, the Adidas Galaxy Trail is your friend. And if you want a shoe that can handle light hikes, you can rely on the Galaxy Trail. 

Durability is A-OK. After logging 30 miles of rough wear tests in the Galaxy Trail, it has proven itself practically indestructible. From the upper to the outsole, it remains scratch-free. We’re expecting it to go beyond 400 miles before retiring it in our closet. 

And it’s not what we expected from a trail shoe comfort-wise. Most of the trail running models we’ve tried tend to be dense. But the Adidas Galaxy Trail is very cushy, it’s like a couch to our feet. 

Ultimately, the Galaxy Trail is a solid choice if you’re a trail runner looking for a shoe that’s heavy-duty and can survive the harshness of the trails.

The Adizero Pro is Adidas’ “reactionary-release” model to the Nike Alphafly Next%. And as a competitor to the Alphafly, we are more than impressed with this shoe. 

It’s not superior to the Alphafly. But if you’re looking for a shoe that will launch you to the finish line, the Adidas Adizero Pro won’t disappoint. It will keep you up on your toes, getting into the next step is a piece of cake. 

It owes its speed to its carbon plate. And what’s surprising is despite it being equipped with one, it’s not a shoe that digs deep into the pockets. 

The Adidas Adizero Pro has the best of both worlds when it comes to ride. It’s engineered with the Boost tech which highlights energy return. While the Lighstrike foam keeps everything balanced for steady strides. 

And in this respect, the shoe delivers flawlessly. We had fun running in it without losing our footing. 

If you want a shoe that won’t hurt the bank and the feet while delivering a race-ready performance, nothing comes close to the Adidas Adizero Pro.
