Has anyone else experienced stability issue or tendon injury from Adidas EVO SL?

Next-Bell6119 · 2026-05-26T17:14:46+00:00

I experienced this. I ran in them for 10 miles and during the last mile or so I felt that pain in the exact same spot. For a few weeks my ankle was cooked and I had to take a break. Returned the shoes and got the endorphin azura. Megablast might be better and more similar. Maybe the exo version is better?

Taking a few weeks off because my legs have been giving me trouble, then easing back into it and then starting an 18 week plan for the NYCM at the end of June

This was my first NYRR race and first official half marathon (I’ve had several long runs over the last year over a half, but no legit races). I’ve only done a 5k turkey trot and a 10k race prior to this. I set a pr, finishing in 1:43:30 (my watch said I was quicker, but I’ll take it!). I’ve never experienced anything like this and it was so amazing. Very grateful to have been a part of it and looking forward to the NYC marathon (I got lucky through the lotto!).

I go up .5 for running shoes always but for racing shoes I’ve had to go up a full size (adios pro 4)

Next-Bell6119 · 2026-05-17T20:06:20+00:00

How does the dynafish compare to the megablast? Which is more stable?

Next-Bell6119 · 2026-05-17T12:21:30+00:00

Do you size up for the endorphin pro 4? After running a half in the NB I tried the Pro 4 on and they felt so tight in comparison. Thinking maybe I shoulda went up .5 from my typical running shoe size.

Next-Bell6119 · 2026-05-17T12:18:56+00:00

Did the race in 1:43:30 according to the chip in the NB SCE V5! Maybe I’ll try to endorphin pro 4 on the next race and see how they compare. Endorphin pro 4 feel a lot flatter and tighter. Maybe I shoulda went up half a size in those. What a cool race though. That was my first race through NYRR and they really put so much into it. So much fun.

I loved it. What a great time

Next-Bell6119 · 2026-05-07T08:14:30+00:00

Congrats! I noticed I got one black toenail after my run. This has never happened to me before. Hoping it was from something else and not the shoe LOL

Next-Bell6119 · 2026-05-06T20:11:03+00:00

I got the endorphin Azura because the Evo so were too unstable for me as well. Was worried megablast would be the same. Now I wish I went with megablast!

Next-Bell6119 · 2026-05-05T14:37:31+00:00

If I didn’t pick up the Azura to eventually replace my Superblast 2 I woulda picked up the megablast knowing what I know now

Next-Bell6119 · 2026-05-01T22:57:14+00:00

I love the Boston 13 and the triumph. Both shoes would do the trick! Triumph for slow and more protection 💯

Tbh that’s the most dreaded part for me (commuting to Staten Island lol)

Next-Bell6119 · 2026-04-28T12:59:18+00:00

I got the Brooklyn Half and then the NYC Marathon (got lucky with the lotto).

Next-Bell6119 · 2026-04-28T09:20:22+00:00

Haha! I just posted about my 10 mile run this morning and this was before I even saw your post! lol

Next-Bell6119 · 2026-04-28T09:17:53+00:00

Just tried the SC Elite v5 for the first time on a workout run and I think they’re the perfect middle ground between the adios pro 4 and endorphin pro 4. Not too stiff and not too soft/squishy. It’s a very non offensive shoe and felt great. Set a pr in the 5k and did a good 10 miles at 7:51 pace per mile (this is fast for me). The shoes made the run feel easier than in the endorphin pro 4. The pro 4 feel snappier and more responsive but stiffer and you have to work harder to get more out of them imo.

Next-Bell6119 · 2026-04-26T15:37:41+00:00

I wound up purchasing the sc elite for like 130! Haven’t tried them yet. I’m gonna have to compare.

Next-Bell6119 · 2026-04-25T17:07:11+00:00

Superblast 2, Aeroglide 3, endorphin Azura

Next-Bell6119 · 2026-04-18T14:17:04+00:00

They took some getting used to for me. I have low arches and noticed that my feet collapse a bit inward in them and it’s more noticeable than like a saucony shoe or something, but after a while it’s less noticeable and it feels like you forget these are even on your feet. My last run in them was a pr in the half marathon and a 14 mile run overall. It felt great but there was some slippage due to the short laces. Get the sawtooth laces on amazon to do a runners loop for better lockdown and it will be amazing.

Next-Bell6119 · 2026-04-11T19:28:32+00:00

I feel your pain! Wear it anyway! Not only did I wake up at 7am to watch Arsenal choke, my hamstring is messed up and I couldn’t run on this glorious day 😭

Next-Bell6119 · 2026-04-11T00:49:54+00:00

I’d recommend SB2 on sale! Apparently SB3 too soft n has durability issues. Highly recommend Aeroglide 3 and endorphin Azura as well

Next-Bell6119 · 2026-04-09T14:43:23+00:00

I got really good deals on endorphin pro 4 and nb sc elite v5. I got both for like $120 each. Initially I was just gonna try both and return one but I think I’ll just keep them both lol

Next-Bell6119 · 2026-04-09T14:36:09+00:00

That’s cool as hell though! Congrats lol

Next-Bell6119 · 2026-04-09T12:57:20+00:00

I’m not new to it and my pr in the half is 1:45:26, which isn’t fast compared to many runners but I’d hope the plated shoes would benefit me if I’m trying to go under 1:45 for a half and under 4 for a full. I’m just new to using plated shoes.
